My interpretations:

Self-centered people will make many enemies because they don’t think about how things they say or do will effect oter people, or aren’t grateful ro generous.

If you make yourself work hard and do things to the best of your ability, will you get better at obtaining your goals, hence not failing often.

This gentleman always took too long to act. Caution is a great thing to exercise, but waiting to long can be dangerous too. Sometimes you need to trust your instincts or be a little quicker to make decisions.

The first one to me means… If you are only interested in benefits or results for selfish purposes then many will despise your selfishness. (You may think it is great to block the river to water your land, but those down stream from you would not like the outcome.)

the second one. If you hold your self to high standards, you often achieve greatness.

the third one.. don’t over think a decision the opportunity could be gone.

Or it is better to make a decision, right or wrong than to make decision at all.
