Hi,

A friend of mine asked me to translate a Chinese motto or guidelines of life into English. I'm not sure which you would call it.

The above is my English version. Correct me if there are errors therein. Thanks.

Hello, Angliholic

As for grammar mistakes:
1. If you have practice the above daily...
2. You'dll live a carefree life!

Also I will advice you to get rid of the repetition of well in the end of the third and fourth lines.

Personally, I like "Three Guideposts for Life" or "Life's Three Guideposts." There is an American magazine named Guideposts, which gives advice on living an ethical life. Other words: mottos, guidelines, rules, principles, goals, maxims.
