67. When a woman stops acting coquettishly, it often means she no longer loves you; when a man stops greeting you, it often means he has found someone else. 68. Reflect on your own faults before sleep. 69. Year after year, time passes like a polite yet heartless friend, smiling as it moves past, leaving you to struggle through pain, strength, endeavor, disappointment, sadness, and hope. A true life finds openness in tears; an ordinary life finds fullness in the sunshine. 70. Maturity does not mean being slick or worldly. To understand the ways of the world without being corrupted by them is true maturity and kindness. 71. The mind is naturally calm; there is no need to seek it externally. Cultivate the heart in every thought; cultivate the heart to be without evil and the mouth to speak kindly; cultivate compassion without greed or anger; speak truthfully without falsehood; cultivate a righteous heart according to faith; act with goodness in every deed; cultivate a broad heart to embrace both good and evil; speak softly to bring joy to others; live uprightly and honor your parents; be merciful without killing or stealing; live purely by helping others selflessly; smile often to build good connections; and cultivate a mind free of obsession, unattached to fame and fortune. 72. You must experience heavy makeup to appreciate the freshness of a bare face. You must drink many carbonated drinks to return to the simplicity of plain water. You must wear high heels for a long time to miss the youth represented by canvas shoes. You must grow accustomed to the urban clamor to rely on the tranquility of the countryside. You must miss many people to realize, in a certain moment, that you must grasp the right one. Isn't it always like this? The more you see, the better you choose. 73. Friendship is a cup of rich coffee, a stepping stone to maturity, a kind joke on April Fool's Day, and a fiery rose on Valentine's Day. Friendship is also like aged wine; whenever tasted, it intoxicates the soul. 74. Rejoicing in the happiness of others is the remedy for jealousy. When you feel joy for someone else's happiness, you will be infused with that very joy. 75. Trust is like an eraser; every mistake wears it down a little more. 76. If you are afraid to lose, you might not win; but if you are afraid of losing, you are surely destined to lose. 77. The intellect of most people serves mainly their desires, leaving them struggling in a cage of cravings, losing the ability to understand and appreciate greatness and nobility. Only pure, objective thinking and aesthetic engagement with art can bring us pure pleasure. If life lacks this dimension, our entire existence will be confined to a lower level. 78. The world is a true mirror. Through our relationships with external things and our interactions with others, we can recognize ourselves and see our true nature, facilitating inner awakening. Yet, we often treat the world as a playground for personal ambition and pleasure. Instead of using the mirror to reflect upon ourselves, we are content to scribble on it. The mirror has been treated like a blackboard!
