Life is short, yet time is long. True happiness lies in living and being joyful.
Life is about cultivating a certain spirit and posture, seeking ease and pleasure. For people and things that cannot be changed, learn to compromise; when feeling tangled in pain, try to let go; for things that are hard to accept, learn to endure; for scenarios that are hard to imagine, try to understand. Only then can one find more moments of joy.
Even the most serene soul harbors desires; even the most open-minded heart may face desolation; even the most youthful face will eventually show the marks of time; even the clearest gaze can sometimes be lost in confusion.
Even the most profound love may end in heartbreak; even the most modest personality has its stubborn side; even the most beautiful life has moments of melancholy; even the most free-spirited life encounters disappointment.
Only by being willing to lower your head will you avoid bumping your head; only by enduring hardships will you find strength; only by striving hard will you achieve success; only by letting go will you find happiness.
Stand tall as a person, but bow low in your work. Be sincere with friends and devoted to your parents. Regarding the details of life, do your best and leave the rest to fate; as for the trivialities of daily living, simply let nature take its course.
