39. Someone says: "No one is as happy as you imagine, and successful people have endured more pain than you can imagine." "Without rain, there can be no rainbow; no one succeeds easily." In truth, if you want to succeed, you must endure more hardship and exert more effort than others. "One effort doesn't guarantee one harvest, but nine efforts will certainly yield one!" To reach your goals, you must work twice as hard.
40. On life's journey, we meet many people. In truth, encounters are governed by fate: relatives may have been friends in a past life, and friends may have been relatives; those who bring us trouble might be those we hurt in the past. Therefore, treat your family well, care for your friends, and forgive those who hurt you. All things are tied by fate; only by cherishing these connections can they continue. This is karma.
41. Because we lost paradise, we long for sunshine; because we have been hurt, we believe the sky will clear after the rain. We are all one-winged angels, and only by embracing each other can we fly.
42. Turning the simple into the complex requires imagination but often results in pretension; turning the complex into the simple requires summarization and, more importantly, honesty.
43. Live as if you were about to die or live forever; think as if you knew nothing or knew everything. There is nothing in life to be feared, only things to be understood.
44. I had no intention of being different, yet my taste stands out.
45. Hold the greatest hope, make the greatest effort, and prepare for the worst.
46. The more sanctimonious a person appears, the more caution you should exercise.
47. Life depends on whom you meet. Regardless of where you are or your environment, you must never lose sight of your goals. Everyone has the right to choose—to pursue or to give up—depending on what they can grasp. If someone claims they have unavoidable difficulties, one can only empathize, as that too is a reason for giving up.
48. The words in one's heart are not intentionally hidden; not all pain can be expressed through shouting.
49. May you be like a carefree child in the sunshine and a mature, responsible adult in the storm.
50. Love is like sand in your hand; the tighter you grasp, the faster it slips through your fingers. Emotion is like the moon in the water; trying to scoop it up only makes it more illusory. The mortal world is like a flower in a mirror; after many blooms and fades, it is but a passing cloud.
51. Life is like standing on a scale; there are fewer moments of balance than moments of imbalance.
