Bitterness is often the best medicine. It allows us to cast away mediocrity, refuse numbness, and resist falling behind. It is important to understand that pain is merely the down payment for success and victory. The more you taste it, the broader the space that belongs to you in the future. No one can take away your suffering and pain; you must face it all on your own.
In love, if you perceive your partner as almost perfect, this is a frightening realization. It is either because they hide their flaws too well, or because you have idealized them too much in your mind. Both possibilities can lead to severe emotional hurt in a relationship. There is no such thing as a perfect partner or perfect love; there are only two imperfect people coming together to write a complete life story.
Work hard, but there is no need to push to the limit; just do your best. Dress with style, but avoid blind competition; having your own unique style is sufficient. Enjoy leisure activities after work, but do not overdo it; just ensure it brings you comfort. Earn money honestly, never at the cost of your conscience. Cherish friendships, but there is no need to be together every day; simply remembering each other often is enough.
In this world, among the many people you know, time is a passerby, stopping and then leaving; marriage is a cup of tea, becoming strong and then weak; life is a funnel, gaining and then losing. Being just right in conduct is the highest realm of life; doing things with perfect moderation is the greatest wisdom. If you believe someone is invincible, it only means they have not shown you their vulnerability, not that they do not have it. When your mindset becomes simple, you have the energy to manage your life; when your life becomes simple, you have the time to enjoy existence. Yesterday is a landscape, seen and then blurred; time is a passerby, remembered and then forgotten; life is a funnel, gained and then lost.
