The coldness of strangers may sometimes add a color to the cold life, but we must always keep a clear mind to distinguish between true, good and beautiful, and false, ugly, because of warmth. Behind it may be a ruthless trap! Second, in the face of the temptation of interest, we must think twice and don’t give liar any opportunities. Finally, don’t trust strangers easily, don’t give money to strangers, making money is not easy, life is not easy, do it and cherish it!
