Those who use their hands are laborers; those who use their hands and minds are helmsmen; those who use their hands, minds, and hearts are artists. However, only those who combine hands, minds, hearts, and feet are salespeople. Doing the right things is often more important than doing things right.
Do not be too concerned about those who treat you poorly, for no one is obligated to be kind to you. The knowledge you have acquired is your weapon; it allows you to start from nothing, but it never allows you to be defenseless. How you treat others does not dictate how they treat you; failing to see this clearly only adds to your troubles. The bond with family is a once-in-a-lifetime connection—cherish it well, for in the next life, whether you love or not, you will never meet again.
No matter how bitter life may be, smile it off, for sunshine always follows the storm. Make a wish upon the meteor shower, hoping that tomorrow's tomorrow will still be filled with friends!
People who appear carefree are often deeply susceptible to sadness. They bury their emotions in the deepest parts of their souls. A ray of sunshine, a familiar plot, a known silhouette, or even a glimpse of familiar features can trigger a panicked, helpless retreat.
Life is always filled with regrets of missed opportunities; though we share the same path in the vast world, we often do not know where it leads. An encounter is an unexpected surprise; a heart-to-heart is a beautiful fragment; mutual appreciation is an elevation of emotion; and missing someone is a unique kind of beauty. Why fate arrives, do not ask for reasons. Just wish to live thus: sing and chant, walk and warm, warm and cherish. Remember the beauty when flowers bloom; forget the loneliness when they wither. As Zhang Xiaoxian said: "The rise and fall, thickening and fading of fate are not within our control. What we can do is to cherish that brief moment well when circumstances align."
