In a Zen temple, a kingfisher sought a safer place to nest and chose a steep rock by the sea that was inaccessible to others. A few days later, it was swept away by the waves. The Zen master commented: "Because there is an enemy in the heart, every place feels like an enemy."
The greatest sorrow in life is wanting to be filial when one's parents are no longer here. The greatest tragedy is that the family is not yet wealthy but the relatives are gone first. The most pitiable fate is realizing what one should have done only when life is near its end.
Life is like a story; we are always enacting our own joys and sorrows within the narratives of others.
You become truly charming only when you stop trying to please everyone at all costs.
Some roads must be walked alone. This is not loneliness, but a choice. Dream the dreams you want, go to the places you wish to visit, and become the person you aspire to be. After all, you have only one life. It is better to run and fall countless times than to walk a lifetime in rigid conformity. Those who fear success will never succeed, and those who dare not pursue happiness will never taste it. Doing well by oneself is already difficult; compromising too much for others leads to losing oneself. Rather than envying others, strive to be a better version of yourself. Set a deadline for every worry, solve it with your best effort within that limited time, and dedicate the remaining time to your joyful self.
在禅寺里，一只翠鸟为了寻求更安全的环境，选择在临海的陡峭岩石上筑巢，却几天后被巨浪卷走。禅师对此感叹：因为心中存有敌意，所以处处皆视之如敌。
人生中最令人心痛的，莫过于想要尽孝时父母已逝；人生中最悲惨的，往往是家庭尚未富裕而亲人却先离去；人生中最可悲的，则是到了生命垂危之际，才领悟到自己本该去做什么。
人生如同一部故事，我们总是在他人的叙事中，演绎着自己命运的悲欢离合。
从不刻意讨好所有人，你才显得如此迷人。
有些路，注定要独自前行。这并非孤独，而是一种选择。去追逐你梦想中的梦，去往你向往的地方，去成为你想成为的人。毕竟，生命只有一次。宁愿奔跑中被绊倒无数次，也不要规规矩矩地走一辈子。害怕成功的人永远不会成功，不敢追求幸福的人永远无法品尝幸福的滋味。做好自己已经不容易，如果过分迁就他人，反而容易迷失自我。与其羡慕别人，不如努力成为一个更好的自己。给每一个烦恼设定一个期限，在有限时间内尽力解决，剩下的时间，请留给快乐的自己。
"Dare to do what you want to do."
"It is better to stumble many times while running than to walk cautiously and predictably for a lifetime."
"Even in seemingly hopeless situations, bold attempts can lead to success."
"It is better to stumble countless times while running than to live a life of conformity."
"For the brave, attempt is a new path in life."
