If one wishes to conquer the world, the first step is to conquer oneself. "Knowing what to do and what not to do" is the fundamental premise for achieving great things. Gorky once said, "Even a small self-restraint can make a person strong and powerful." Everyone should strive to overcome all bad habits.
All achievements, whether in the business, academic, or spiritual realms, are the result of guidance by correct thinking. They are governed by the same laws and employ similar methods; the only difference lies in the specific goals achieved.
Life is never perfect. If you make a mistake, start over. If others cannot forgive you, forgive yourself. Never cover one mistake with another.
Life is like a process of healing. We get hurt, heal, get hurt again, and heal again. Perhaps each healing is merely to prepare us for the next wound. Maybe only after experiencing complete despair can we truly live again, transforming into a better version of ourselves.
Work hard as if you are not expecting a reward. Love sincerely as if you have never been hurt. Dance with full dedication as if no one is watching. Isn't that a good way to live?
If truth is against you, surrender to the truth.
Following the road chosen by the crowd seems the safest, but it often leads to traffic jams.
The greatest difference between doing and not doing is that the latter holds the right to comment on the former.
