As a wise person, you must not be predictable all the time. You have to learn how to be unreadable, never let your feelings be written all over your face.

It is always common for humans to respect what is mysterious. If as a person you do not show any sign of mystery in you, and you keep presenting yourself as an open book that everyone can read, you may find it difficult to command the respect that you desire.
When you are excited, don't show it off too much, reveal just a few smile and keep the rest to yourself only. Always be strong, and never be carried away by your emotions, learn how to display them in a manner that you have designed and desire, so that it would not reveal your weakness and make you lose respect.
If you are a person that everyone can read like a book, people can easily frame you. And if you are someone that can framed easily, you might find it hard to succeed in any endeavors of life.
Mount your guard, be wise as a serpent and let your moves be unpredictable like a Lion.
