When someone is giving you his opinion, you should receive it with deep gratitude even though it is worthless. If you don’t, he will not tell you the things that he has seen and heard about you again. It is best to both give and receive opinions in a friendly way.

Nors ne­va­lia leis­ti ki­tiems va­do­vau­ti, bū­ti vai­din­gam, ne­iš­auk­lė­tam ar per­ne­lyg nuo­lan­kiam, ta­čiau jei­gu žmo­gus pa­de­da ki­tiems ir ben­drau­ja su se­nais pa­žįs­ta­mais itin man­da­giai, tar­si su­ti­kęs pir­mą kar­tą, jis su vi­sais su­tars pui­kiai. Vy­ro ir žmo­nos san­ty­kiai ir­gi grin­džia­mi šiuo prin­ci­pu. Jei­gu pa­bai­go­je vy­ras taip pat pro­tin­gas, kaip ir pra­džio­je, tai jis su žmo­na taip pat su­tars pui­kiai.
