1. _Rome was not built a day_ - Do get it that good things require time. You can only get bounties of life through patience. Don't rush how you move, don't look for unnecessary shortcuts.

2. _Hasty climbers have sudden fall_ - As slow and steady wins the race. Never put cart before the horse. There are milestones you don't need to skip. Tread necessary paths contentiously.

3. _Don't expect blood out of the stone_ - There are some heights you can't just attain. Depths you can't explore. The sooner you understand these indomitable tasks the better you safe your time and energy.

4. _Cut your cloth according to your coat_ - Don't ever steak out your neck trying to do what is beyond you. People who enjoy this life the most are the ones who don't do more than their capabilities.

5. _There is no need crying over split milk_ - When something unwanted happens. It will be a wiser step looking for solutions instead of asking WH's questions that solve no problem.

6. _You can't teach your grandmother how to suck egg_ - As it is known, experience is the best teacher. Don't ever think you can be smarter than your superiors, either in age or position. They were there before you surfaced. They've seen what you couldn't see, heard what you won't dare to listen, and experienced what you don't even know it exists.

7. _Discretion is the better part of valour_ - Don't be too bold and confident. You can't claim you are good at everything. You need to pretend as if you knew nothing sometimes. Let people overtake you even if you are second to none at your game. Know that only stubborn warlords die prematurely in the warfront.

8. _Necessity is the mother of invention_ - How quickly and badly you need something will determine how hard you will look for it, and the easier it becomes for you to get even if you have to fetch it from the lion's den.

9. _Too much of cooks spoil the broth_ - Moderation is a virtue. Don't ever do more than normal, even if you have to give out favours, put it in measures.

10. _Barking dog seldom bites_ - Sometimes, you need to be secretive, you need to play your card close to your chest. If you make much noise that you become so predictable, people will see no value in you again.

11. _Don't judge a book with its cover_ - Mere looking at people shouldn't make you draw conclusions about all they entail. Don't be so sure that man is exact reflection of what he is inside.

12. _Fool and his money will soon part_ - As for this, you just have to be prudent. Waste not and want not. If you can be lavish, you need to fear for your future. You have to be great, but not with this extravagant habit.
