TRANSLATION: After finishing Tephilat Schacharit, a person should 
learn Torah for a
few moments or go to the Beis Midrash and listen to the students. 
Then he should attend
to his affairs and proceed to his place of work because Torah 
learning that is not combined
with work has no value. Poverty will then lead him to violate his 
Master's rules. He should
conduct his business in good faith. He should speak softly to other 
human beings. He
should not start fights with anyone. He should be careful not to take 
an oath even
concerning a matter that he knows to be true. Most certainly he 
should not take an oath
falsely and he should not mention G-d's name in vain. He should avoid 
idleness because
idleness causes improper urges. Instead he should always pursue lofty 
goals and he should
always be examining his personality and his deeds. If a person 
conducts himself within
these parameters he will be certain that G-d with bless him with 
success in whatever he
undertakes.
