OH ya!!!juz found the card dat chee seng give to us(i tink all his class got it) hahaha...
There, - my blessings with you!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. - Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of stee:
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to quarrel: but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice:
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
BUt not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy:
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
Neither a borrower nor lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
For borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
this above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

From "Hamlet" By William Shakespheare
