Thousands of years ago, sages had already revealed the shortcuts to navigating the world. Difficult matters in the world often begin with the simple, and great achievements start with the small. Therefore, when handling any affairs, one should begin with the minor and easy aspects. This is like soldiers on a battlefield; once they find the "breakthrough" in the enemy's defense, a "breaking through bamboo" momentum is formed, causing the enemy to collapse like a falling mountain. Choosing the weak point does not mean avoiding the heavy for the light; it is a process of gradual progression. We should first do what we are most confident about, moving from easy to difficult. As familiarity and confidence grow, subsequent tasks become more manageable. Even if difficulties increase, we can remain composed and not lose our composure.
Appropriate praise is often more effective than reprimand.
Proper kind words are like golden apples in a silver box.
Everyone’s life has its disappointments, every season has its sorrows, every era has moments that make you cry, and every memory has impulses that make you smile. Do not lose the past happiness in the vortex of pain. It is inevitable to have emotional ups and downs, especially for women. Allow yourself to be willful or mischievous occasionally, and treat yourself well from time to time. No matter how many people you have loved, or how painfully or happily you have loved, in the end, what you learn is not how to fall in love, but how to love yourself.
To understand people is to read them deeply: reading the top to know the bottom, the far to know the near, the past to know the future, the surface to know the interior, the fast to know the slow, the heavy to know the light, the wide to know the narrow, the deep to know the shallow, the complex to know the simple, the thick to know the thin, the dynamic to know the static, the exhale to know the inhale, the true to know the false, the ugly to know the beautiful, the evil to know the good, the loss to know the gain, the worry to know the joy, the murky to know the clear, the bitter to know the sweet, the dark to know the bright, the falling to know the rising, the night to know the day, the winter to know the spring. Through multi-dimensional observation, one truly understands the human heart.
Life is nothing but a hurried journey through the world. We are like a grain of dust falling into the human realm, merely a drop in the ocean in this vast world. Life seems long to us, but if merged into the flow of history, it is but an instant. Perhaps you have realized that life is a game; when the game ends, we remain as clean as when we arrived, taking not a single wisp of cloud with us.
