57. I have a friend whom I don’t contact often, but we occasionally send messages just to confirm that the other person is still in this world. We maintain a letter-like way of communication because she hardly uses computers or phones. Everyone needs a kindred spirit—someone who does not disturb you, yet whose presence you can clearly feel when it matters. In an increasingly blurred and noisy world, such connections are especially precious.
58. Smile more often, and it will gradually make you truly happier.
59. Keep speaking well of others behind their backs, and there is no need to worry whether those words reach them. When someone gossips in front of you, just respond with a smile.
60. Perhaps every step in life is a moving poem, every chant like rippling waves forming blossoms, every tear a dancing melody, and every struggling step forward a vivid picture of an ever-living existence.
61. The past is already an illusion, the future is still a dream; what matters most is grasping the present moment.

63. If you love someone, remember to be more tolerant and understanding in the relationship. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes in everything. A step back opens a wider sky. Tolerance brings sweetness and heart-to-heart communication, allowing both people to feel true ease. Life is not easy, and having a loved one is rare; with the greatest capacity to accept each other, true happiness naturally follows.
64. If one spends their life only chasing money and protecting existing wealth, then money itself will no longer bring real benefit or meaning.
65. Enlightenment always comes too late.
