To me #1 sounds like an appeal to nature without basis. It sounds a little like “The Secret”—positive actions have positive reactions—which I haven’t seen evidence of sufficiently to make a law of.

I don’t know what “listen to our conscience, inner voice regularly” or “abide by virtues in your thoughts“ mean.

Regarding the conscience, it's blabbering of the mind. while you're busy in some activity you may not notice it, but it's there in your subconscious. To observe it, just sit for few minutes and try to see thoughts originating in mind. This constant chatter, which may include grudges, guilt, complaints, fear, phobia, jealousy, envy , worries etc. are emotions that spring up when we're too focused on ourselves in our life. The virtuous, kind actions that we do for others help in expanding our consciousness; our prospective toward life changes and consequently the self-obsession decreases resulting in greater inner peace, calm and contentment.
