Set your ambition early; with ambition comes hope.
Society is full of competition, and universities are no exception. Success in competition depends on one's own strength.
If you constantly think about who you dislike and who shares your interests, you are mistaken. Instead, you should focus on how to be accepted by others, rather than only choosing who you accept.
In dealing with people, you must position yourself correctly. Do not always see yourself as someone important, a leader, or a wealthy figure, nor should you be overly self-satisfied. Even if you achieve success, remain humble and modest, for everyone ultimately reaches the same end; it is only our perception that complicates life. As the saying goes, do not take yourself too seriously.
Remember: you may trust others, but you should not rely on them. Do not reject goodwill, and do not stop smiling. You may make mistakes, but do not repeat them. Criticism should be accepted, though not blindly followed. Speak when you should speak and stay silent when necessary—this is wisdom. Act when needed and step back when appropriate—this is insight. Show yourself when appropriate and hide when necessary—this is maturity.
The past is an illusion, the future is a dream; only the present truly matters.

如果总是思考哪些人你厌恶、哪些人与自己志趣相投，那就大错特错。更重要的是思考如何让别人接受你，而不是你选择接纳谁。
待人接物要摆正自己的位置，不要总把自己当成重要人物、领导或富翁，也不要过度自我感觉良好。即便有所成就，也应保持谦逊与低调，因为人生终点都是相同的，只是过程被自己复杂化了。俗话说：千万别把自己太当回事。
请记住，可以相信别人，但不要依赖别人；不要拒绝善意，也不要停止微笑；错误可以犯，但不要重复犯；批评必须接受，但不必全盘认同。该说的话要说，该沉默时要沉默，这是一种智慧；该做的要做，该退让时要退让，这是一种睿智；该展现时展现，该隐藏时隐藏，这是一种境界。
过去已成虚幻，未来仍是梦想，唯有当下最为重要。
仲夏夜晚，满月依旧，却透出些许凉意，在未及犹豫之间，已弥漫出收获的气息。踏着过往的悲喜，寻找心灵的慰藉。
