31. Good habits are like wings that allow our dreams to soar; they are also like sunshine that helps the seedlings of success grow rapidly. Good habits signify efficiency and are a lifelong wealth anyone can possess. Start now, and through willpower, cultivate these habits. It requires persistent training rather than overnight success. By completing daily plans, good habits will eventually become a lifelong treasure.
32. Irritable toward family, warm toward friends, and cautious toward oneself—perhaps this is our current reality.
33. Life is short. Regardless of how long we live, time passes quickly. Therefore, we must spend our lives doing what we love. Since the future is unknown, we should live each day as if it were our last.
34. Resilience is a key element of success. If you knock on the door long and loud enough, someone will eventually answer.
35. The heights reached by great people are not achieved in a single leap, but through the arduous process of climbing step by step while others are asleep.
36. One must look far ahead. When taking the first step, the second step must already be in mind; this is the experience of my life.
37. A cup feels the scalding heat when boiling water is poured in—that is the feeling of love. When the water warms, the cup feels comfortable—that is the feeling of life. When the water cools, the cup feels fear—that is the feeling of loss. When the water becomes completely cold, the cup feels distressed and pours it out. Even if the cup shatters, every fragment bears traces of water; it knows it still loves the water and wishes to love it again, but it is impossible.
38. When you are poor, you can practice charity through physical service, such as sweeping, sprinkling water, or carrying things.
39. Our illusion is that we are indispensable, driven by self-importance. But the Earth turns regardless of who is here, and everyone is merely seeking survival. Solitude and revelry, like blooming flowers and growing grass, perform the opening and closing of destiny. Whether working or loving, one needs persistence without being stubborn. Your efforts may not be what others want, nor will they always yield the desired results.
40. On the journey of life, we must not only do what we like but also learn to do what we dislike to adapt to life's needs. Learning to excel at things we do not enjoy might be the true sign of progress.
41. People feel mentally exhausted because they often waver between persistence and giving up. Happiness has no yesterday or tomorrow; it exists only in the present.
42. Joy and sorrow, happiness and trouble always coexist. There is no reason to blame yourself for bad encounters or misfortune. Plant more beautiful dreams for yourself. Forgive your imperfections and do not let down the self that had a one-in-a-billion chance of being born into this world.
43. It is not the past that hurts, but the memory. Let beautiful memories be just a smile on your lips; smile and let it go. Wipe away your tears, bid farewell to yesterday, and let love become a thing of the past. Some people may be more compatible after months than those known for decades; some may stay closer despite long periods of no contact.
