35. When in a position of influence, respect others; when in a low position, respect yourself. Gratitude to those who share these insights.
36. Life has its ebbs and flows; keep a calm heart and embrace the tides of life with a broad mind.
37. Life involves progress and setbacks, but never let it compromise your mood. When your mood is good, everything feels right; when it is bad, everything falls into chaos. Cry when you must, laugh when you can; Do not let the world's hypocrisy turn you into a hypocrite. Do not exhaust yourself—learn to keep a certain depth within.
38. We often harbor the illusion that we are indispensable, often becoming self-righteous. This is merely wishful thinking; the Earth continues to rotate regardless of any individual, as everyone struggles for survival. Solitude and revelry, much like blooming flowers and growing grass, perform the opening or closing scenes of fate. Whether in work or in love, one needs persistence rather than stubbornness. What you offer, others may not desire; what you strive for, may not always be achieved.
39. In this life, all things are but passing clouds. Whether gaining or losing, everything is fleeting. Regardless of yesterday, today, or tomorrow, being able to find clarity and peace makes it a beautiful day. The best way to live is to avoid overthinking. When experiencing something or meeting someone, you are both choosing and being chosen. Life is but a few short decades; do not leave regrets. Love when you should love, without unnecessary self-suppression.
40. Only because the blue sky leaves blank spaces can there be waves of "the clouds playing tricks and the flying stars conveying resentment"; only because history leaves a blank space for you can there be empty graves and endless longing.
