Being poor is not terrible; what is truly frightening is relying on others for relief. Loneliness is not terrible; what is truly frightening is being accustomed to being alone. Unemployment is not terrible; what is truly frightening is being too passive to seek work. Illness is not terrible; what is truly frightening is being incurable. Failure is not terrible; what is truly frightening is total defeat.
The rising of the morning glow is not caused by the rooster's crow, but is a necessity of natural laws.
Gazing at the setting sun, one's imagination accidentally steps into a beauty that is both solemn and serene. It is beautiful with a touch of vicissitude, and quiet with a hint of desolation. As the bustling day fades, the last bit of residual heat blooms in the sunset afterglow, leaving the most beautiful countenance in the moment of a bright look back.
Without wind and waves, the true nature of the sail cannot be displayed; without twists and turns, the pleasure of life cannot be savored. Tribulation is the strict teacher of life, and only the strong can become its favored disciples. Do not mistake temptation for opportunity, nor opportunity for temptation. Many people spend most of their lives led away by temptations, thereby missing numerous genuine opportunities. Life is a wise elder and an erudite teacher. It often guides us out of confusion and provides life enlightenment quietly, like spring wind and rain nourishing things silently.
The greatest regret in life is nothing other than persistent wrongness and easy giving up. It seems as if there is nothing anymore that can make one weep immediately, and no outlet can be found to release sadness. Life teaches us to learn to protect ourselves and cherish ourselves. When feeling aggrieved, tell yourself not to be sad, for that is just how the world works. Being misunderstood or criticized is common. When you are helpless, you may cry, but after crying, you must pick yourself up. Making a comeback from a desperate situation is not rare in life.
