6: This aphorism warns against pride and misplaced pride, and reminds people that the only thing they ever truly have is themselves, and that their possessions are not really theirs and can be taken away.

7: Reminds people about duty and the order of thigns, and that one must always make sure that one is in a position to do one's duty instead of just hoping the system will work. One must also know that doing one's duty is not always pleasant, but it must be done.

8: This short little passage is very SF in the sense that it says one should just accept things as they happen and that the only way to be happy is to just conform to events as they happen instead of trying to make events conform to you.

9: This one seems to motivate people out of misery and to show them that thye remain themselves with all their capability and that they should move on without obsessing over it.

10: This aphorism repeats the basic theme of the book, which is thta you learn to live with what happens and learn to stay sharp as it does happen, but without trying to change thing sor making it happen the way on would desire it.
