- Wait for emotional wave clarity — don't make revolutions at the peak of emotions
- Check your principles — do they serve the community, not just your ego
- Balance sensitivity with self-protection — you're not obligated to meet all needs
- Use revolutionary power wisely — changes should improve, not destroy
