When one gradually enters old age, one should cultivate a sense of indifference to fame and fortune, abandon the anxiety of gaining or losing, learn to be restrained, cherish a clean reputation, refrain from greedy desires, and preserve one's remaining years wisely.
People must grow up, even if they only linger in the memory of that summer.
If one is unstable when reaching for the heights, it is better to walk steadily on level ground.
Clouds clear and rain falls, flowers bloom and wither; though the old departs, the new will always arrive.
One must learn to adjust emotions and try to think positively about everything. Many people, when facing unsolvable problems, fall into complaint and irritation. As a result, poor emotional control often complicates simple matters and makes complex ones even harder. When encountering difficult situations, it is essential to first control one's emotions to allow for calm thinking. The more positively you think, the broader your heart becomes; the more negatively you think, the narrower it becomes.
If you harbor hope, happiness will find you; if you hold dreams, opportunities will surround you. The best mindset is peace, and the best state is simplicity. There are two supreme states in life: understanding and contentment. Understanding allows one to live clearly; contentment allows one to live peacefully. If one is obsessed with fame and profit, one will be bound by them; if one cares too much about praise and criticism, one will suffer from anxiety. The more desires one has, the more束缚 (constraints) there are; the fewer desires, the greater the freedom.
The ability to see things from another person's perspective and consider their needs is compassion.
The person whose own actions are most embarrassing is often the first to speak ill of others. Maturity consists of two parts: half is the pursuit of beauty, and half is the acceptance of imperfection.
I strive to change myself only to become a better version of who I am, hoping that in the future, I can live a life I love thanks to these changes.
We are always curious about the outside world. After venturing out, we experience more pain and wish to return home, only to find that we can never truly go back. We are tired. However, through our continuous effort, what we will gain will be beautiful.
