1. In judging right and wrong, the depth of knowledge matters less than the choice of stance. Stances can be divided into public or private, self or others. When dealing with issues of public interest, one should express opinions from a personal perspective, as the private interests of the majority constitute the public interest. When dealing with private matters, one should adopt a public stance to avoid conflicting with the public good. In navigating conflicts of interest, one should strive to see things from others' perspectives, seeking self-interest through altruism.
2. In life, certain events will gradually fade from our sight and slip away from our hearts. There will be no more quiet longing by the window, nor light wandering under the moonlight. Time silently strips away old memories and scenes. The soul cannot carry too much or too heavy; it is better to be light. Let the tears flow and the sorrows be voiced. The bitterness of life comes from accumulated wounds, and the worries of living come from added pains. No matter how vast a heart may be, it will feel suffocated when blocked.
3. Some opportunities slip away due to a moment of hesitation, and some connections vanish due to a moment of caprice. Many relationships grow distant because of a single wrong thought; many thanks, left unsaid, remain buried in the heart and become lifelong regrets. Therefore, when you are indecisive, ask yourself: "Will I regret this in the future?" Use today's efforts to ensure there are no regrets tomorrow.
4. Nothing in this world belongs to you forever, including your loved ones, the children you raise, your wealth, and even your body—all will eventually return to dust. We hold only the right to use things, not the right of permanent ownership. Everything is borrowed; things arise due to causes and vanish when those causes fade. You cannot force what is meant to be. Life is like a traveler: come with joy and leave with peace. Most importantly, seize the moment!
5. You may not have grand dreams, but you must know what to do now. You may be ordinary and lost in a crowd, but you must not follow the tide and become a characterless replica. You may weep a hundred times under pressure, but remember to smile a thousand times in response. You may be used to giving to others, but do not forget to live for yourself. You may learn to pretend, but never become the kind of person you once hated.
6. Mother said that if I admitted my mistakes, she would hold my hand again. You said that sometimes admitting fault is what allows us to hold hands once more. Relatives will always forgive because you are their child; but lovers often find it hard to forgive, because we are all still children at heart.
