1. Paddle your own canoe.   What a thing is called is unimportant compared to what it really is.   Mind your own business and be self-reliant.   It is preferable to take precautions against a bad occurrence than to repair the damage after it has happened.   A person will be held in more esteem if he keeps aloof from others.   Hint Dica Meio-a-meio   2. Set a thief to catch a thief.   A person who knows the tricks of the trade is best equipped to do the job.   A single piece of evidence is not enough to prove anything.   There is a definite limit beyond which one decides not to go.   The written word has more power to cause change than physical force.   Dica Meio-a-meio   3. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.   Once prosperity is achieved, then it helps achieve more.   At times, there is more value to holding one's tongue than using it.   The written word has more power to cause change than physical force.   A thing can be assessed only after practically experiencing it.   Dica Meio-a-meio
