Chinese traditional wisdom of life influencers

I read a blog post today regarding the Chinese traditional wisdom of life influencer.

It says:

One is fate, two is luck, three is fengshui;
Four is good merit, five is study;
Six is name, seven is looking, eight is god worship;
Nine is making friends with good persons, ten is health.

In the original form:

一命二运三风水，
四积功德五读书，
六名七相八敬神，
九交贵人十养生。

This little poem is the concentrated old wisdom of Chinese about what may impact your life.
They are ordered in the poem.  I think the order represents either the importance or the weight of the influence factors.

The explanation:

1. People are born in different time and place in the world. Your life won't be easy if you are born in a poor country or in a troubled zone.  You can't change where and when you were born.  So, it is the number one.

2. Someone has good luck and someone has not. You don't know and you can't control your luck anyway. Without luck, you life may be full of obstacles.  You may be just lucky to win something or not losing something.  You can't control it, either.

3. Fengshui is everywhere.  You don't want to go to "bad" places very often.  I believe it is more about your environment. A good living environment can be very beneficial.  You may choose where  you live.  You may get more opportunities living in a big city like Beijing, Shanghai, New York City, and so on.  Even in one city,  you may choose where you live as well. You have some more control over your life now.

4. To do good things, like donation, helping others, or be kind, will reward you eventually, either materially or spiritual. This is what you can do in your daily life. To help others is like to help yourself.  Our ancestors have long belief in it.

5. To study and learn, this is what you can also do to change your life.  A lot of people have changed their by studying. You may not be excellent academically, but you have to learn more than just knowledge in books.  To obtain more knowledge is what emphasized in this point.

6. Your name may affect your life.  It may be true somehow. Your name is the first impression to others. It will accompany your whole life and used by others mostly.

7. Your looking, your body shape, your standing/seating pose, etc. are the next important things that may affect your life.  It is absolutely true.  Good-looking people usually get more opportunities than others. But you can change it yourselves by doing exercise, by beautify your face.

8. God worship is somehow interesting.  Although I am not a Christian, I sometimes do believe there may be some god some where who is overseeing what we are doing in every moment.  To worship a God, you may not do something bad, I think.  Otherwise, you may do anything you want without any reservation.

9. Making friends with good persons may change your life too.  Friending with bad guys may get yourself into trouble as well.  I guess everyone believe this.

10. Health is the last but not the least thing for your life.  You can't enjoy a quality life if you have no healthy body.

This is the best epitome I recently read.  The traditional wisdom may still serve a good needs in modern society.
