And, even if you are superior to those you meet, do not seek to stand out from others. Instead, consider it ideal to be first in everything. And, in pursuing such a goal, it is preferable for others to see you striving for it, rather than excelling by chance in insignificant matters. Do not disgrace your natural talents and do not disappoint the expectations of those who are proud of you, but try, with your own strength, to surpass even the expectations of your closest friends.
