The Image

Know what the world is like. Know your own feelings. Avoid rigidity. Know the world for what it is.

The Inside

Recognize a good thing when you have it! Pay attention! You can warn people of danger, but you cannot force them to avoid it. No blame. Do not become upset by a sudden turn in events. Remain calm. No blame. The right method is more important that dogged persistance. Think! Avoid evil people, and their influences. Be aware. People will know if you are a jerk, and they may not like what they see. Will you? Pay attention.

The Outside

It is better to advance through your own efforts, than to depend upon your friends. Be self-reliant. The Butterfly stretches its wings. Do not allow sloppy work habits to hinder your progress. Pay attention. It is difficult, but favorable to split from a bad scene. Respect the Bees. Be thrifty, conscientious, and aware of what is going on. Be Sensible! Let the strength of your character speak for you, and do not believe everything that you see or hear. Be real! Do not be afraid to speak the truth, & act according to it. Be Bold.
