If today's plans are unfulfilled, there is still tomorrow. Yet, if this life's desires remain unrealized, there will be no afterlife. Therefore, one should not hesitate to extract the value from every single day, but one should not be too demanding about a lifetime without any external support. Remember: the number of things a person can accomplish in a lifetime is limited. Whether you achieve one or many, it is all worth being satisfied with.
Every moment in life is a unique repetition.
To evaluate a person's life, first observe whether they have a genuine interest, that is, a career that serves as the anchor of their existence. If they can immerse themselves in it completely and feel internal pleasure and fulfillment, it indicates they are realizing their true self. This 'self' refers to their individuality and the unique value of their life.
Modern people can often only taste the spring fields through a cup of fresh tea.
In this bustling world, I often ask myself: Where exactly is my place? I do not belong to any mainstream, non-mainstream, or anti-mainstream circle. So, do I fundamentally not belong to this noisy world? However, I am by no means a recluse who withdraws from the world. I can only explain it this way: No matter how busy the world is, the hustle and bustle only occupy a small part of it. The world beyond the noise is boundless, and that is where my place lies—a quiet place.
The occupation of one's mental space is often driven by coercion. If the poor and the miserable are compelled by poverty and suffering, then the busy are compelled by fame, profit, and responsibility. Fame and profit are also a form of poverty; the pain of insatiable desires also bears the characteristics of deprivation, and the competition on the stage of fame and profit is equally filled with the anxiety of a struggle for survival. Therefore, a busy person is very likely also a poor and miserable person in spirit.
