65. Do not turn the pages of the past, lest the falling dust blinds your eyes.
66. Water reaches the ocean because it skillfully navigates around all obstacles, constantly turning and finding crevices to move forward. Many clever people fail because they refuse to turn back even after hitting a wall. Life inevitably brings difficulties; learning to bend and detour is a wise approach. If the mountain won't turn, the path will; if the path won't turn, the person will. When the mindset shifts, adversity becomes opportunity. Learning to be adaptable is a great way to move forward.
67. There are always unexpected changes in the world, and it is hard to say when one has truly reached a dead end; as long as there is breath, one can hold hope for everything.
68. The meaning of life shines in the brilliance of ideals; the value of life flashes in the life one creates.
69. The warm winter is about to pass its snowless record, as the exposed earth awaits a new prosperity amidst the singing cold winds. The stirring life will awaken all things on a bright morning.
70. At sunset, there is a heavy beauty, one that feels weathered and a bit desolate. It does not burst in shock, but fades away quietly. It sheds the day's prosperity, casting its last warmth brilliantly in the afterglow. In that bright moment of looking back, it leaves behind its most beautiful countenance. Wandering through heaven and earth, watching the tides rise and fall and the changing eras, nothing in the universe possesses eternal beauty; all that remains is this moment and this heart! And then, a fresh and comfortable morning will arrive.
71. To have a happy life, one needs to understand others, society, culture, and history, thereby being patriotic, law-abiding, studious, and performing one's professional duties well.
72. To choose the most suitable path among ten thousand roads, one should act according to their own strengths and interests, determining goals based on their environment, conditions, and innate qualities.
73. Life is like a dream, and time is ruthless. Looking back, living itself is a state of mind. Whether in poverty or wealth, gain or loss, everything is like passing clouds. Thinking about it, as long as one can find inner peace, every day is a beautiful day.
74. At year-end, the flowers fall, and the city is tinged with sadness. Looking at the withered yellow on the ground, one feels only melancholy. Flowers bloom and fall as they did in years past; life has passed twenty years in a daze. Looking back at these flowering years, having experienced joys and sorrows and partings and reunions, the heart no longer feels great joy or great sorrow, leaving only a trace of floating melancholy.
75. Honest speech is often not ornate, while speech that pursues ornateness is often not honest. Kind people do not make excuses, and those who make excuses are rarely kind. Truly knowledgeable people are not necessarily those with vast experience.
76. If you love, love deeply; if you leave, leave completely. Do not be ambiguous, as it hurts both yourself and others. The greatest regret in life is easily giving up what should not be abandoned, or stubbornly persisting in what should not be maintained. Some losses are predestined, and some relationships have no end. Loving someone does not guarantee possessing them, but if you possess someone, you must love them well.
77. Life should have at least two impulses: one for a reckless love, and one for a spontaneous journey!
78. When encountering difficulties and adversity, some will take the chance to kick you, while others will unhesitatingly lend you a hand. Time will tell you who your true friends are.
79. When visiting clients, salespeople should believe in the principle of "even if you fall, grab a handful of sand." This means a salesperson should not return empty-handed; even if a sale is not made, they should strive to have the client introduce a new customer.
80. Opportunities in sales are often fleeting and must be judged quickly and accurately; one must pay close attention to avoid missing them and should strive to create opportunities.
81. Acting according to importance allows for more effective use of time.
82. I have a friend whom I do not contact often, but I occasionally send a message to ensure she is still on this earth. We maintain the habit of exchanging letters because she rarely uses computers or phones. In this increasingly blurred and noisy world, everyone needs soul companions—they won't disturb you, but you will clearly hear what they say, which is especially precious.
83. Life is impermanent, and peace of mind is home. Occasional setbacks are not to be feared, but one should always speak the truth. Few people realize that life is beautiful because of its imperfections; what we call "turning around" is simply losing the sun of the day and missing the stars of the night.
84. One must strive to compensate for a lack of talent; a low-ranking official should be thrifty and honest. — Yao Buying
85. Everyone has a sad story in their heart, but to others, that story tells of how happy you are.
86. As long as you believe "I can do it," you will realistically evaluate the obstacles ahead and see them as difficulties to be overcome rather than reasons for inaction.
87. I always thought heaven was heartless, and that my past lives lacked sufficient cultivation, leaving me without good friends or soulmates in this life. In moments of disappointment and pain, my heart closed itself off repeatedly, becoming almost frozen. Finding no solution, I turned to the internet, my fingers flying to string my emotions into words, releasing long-suppressed pressure. Whether anyone understands or not, as long as the sorrow in my heart is released, it is enough.
88. True wealth is not necessarily the deposits in your bank, nor does it necessarily refer to land, houses, gold, or silver, for these cannot be held alone and cannot be taken at death. In life, only faith, satisfaction, joy, remorse, relationships, and wisdom are your true wealth! Because this wealth can be enjoyed not only by oneself but also by the masses; not only for a moment but for a lifetime; and not only in this life but also in the next.
89. If you are doing a good deed, you do not need to pray to heaven for protection; if you are not doing a good deed, no amount of prayer will help.
90. Devout people may travel thousands of miles to pilgrimage to please their gods, not realizing that helping the poor and hungry at their own doorstep might please the gods even more. If gods are omnipresent, they must be right here, outside your own door.
91. Keep your mind unmoving and indifferent to what others say or do, like sitting in a thicket of thorny vines: though you cannot make the thorns disappear, at least you will not let them wound you.
92. No matter what hardships or difficulties a person encounters, we must face them calmly, because after today comes tomorrow, and every tomorrow brings new aspirations.
93. Realization often comes too late.
94. People often mistake the feeling of being unable to attain something for love, believing they love the person who causes them such heartache.
