Don't talk about people's mistakes. Think about yourself, what is it that you are happy and don't agree, and you are angry and not chaotic? What do you mean?

Meaning: Don't talk about others' right and wrong easily, always calm down and think about your mistakes, don't make promises to others easily when you are happy, and don't make arbitrary decisions when you are angry.

This is what Jin Ying, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, said.

Original clip:

Sit still and think about yourself all the time. Gossip is not personal.

Don't talk in your sleep to idiots, beware of mistakes; Don't talk short when you meet a short person.

A knowledgeable person may not be satisfied with his flattery; Behind the discussion, those who regret it are often unforgettable.

Translation:

When sitting alone quietly, you should always reflect on your mistakes; Don't gossip when chatting with others. Don't talk in your sleep to idiots, and don't say anything short to short people. Be shy. Praise others to their face, and knowledgeable people may not be happy when they hear it, but they will be hated when they talk about others behind their backs.
