46. All pain and joy are concentrated within your heart. If you cannot change your environment, you must change your inner self.
47. Forcing things rarely leads to good results. If something is meant to leave, let it go; something better awaits you ahead.
48. When the heart is small, trifles become great; when the heart is large, great matters become small. In the face of difficulty, look to your responsibility; in adversity or prosperity, look to your breadth of mind; in joy or anger, look to your composure; in gain or loss, look to your wisdom; in success or failure, look to your perseverance. Let things take their natural course; meet events with equanimity; remain calm in success and composed in failure; accept that hardship and twists are inevitable and find enlightenment through life's vicissitudes. Drink tea in tranquility and keep your mouth closed to disputes.
49. Opportunities will not stay with you forever; only your personal ability will accompany you for a lifetime.
50. Do not make blind promises; be a person of your word. Planting action yields habits; planting habits yields character; planting character yields destiny—habits shape a person.
51. When resistance becomes ineffective, learn to enjoy the moment.
52. In the moment of anger, one's IQ often drops to zero.
53. If cherry blossoms fall at 5 cm per second, how long will it take for two hearts to meet? If two hearts approach at 5 cm per second, how long until one decides to leave after they are closest? If one heart decides to leave at 5 cm per second, how long will it take for the other heart to heal?
54. The meaning of life lies in continuous struggle. As long as you understand this, your life will never be without meaning.
55. Avoid exaggeration. It is better to speak incompletely than to speak excessively.
56. The process of earning money is like building a house, brick by brick; the process of spending money is like an earthquake—no matter how long it took to build, it can collapse in an instant.
57. If you lose your shade, those seeking shelter will naturally leave you.
58. Do not be lost in the past or the future, letting life slip through your fingers. Cherish every day, and you will possess every moment of your life.
59. Sometimes I can be very indifferent, yet sometimes I am obsessively attached. In silent dialogues, your gaze is like falling dust; your vows have never changed, and they cannot be taken off like a ring. A promise itself is a kind of hurt; why not be honest? The ring on the ring finger is not true love, but merely a cover for past foolishness. Open a window, let go of the past, and with my love, depart quietly.
60. To be able to take and to be able to let go—that is true grace.
