No one in the world is forever free from slander, and no one is always praised. When you speak too much, others will criticize you; when you speak little, criticism still comes; even in silence, it follows you.
Learn to be decisive: let go of what should leave and hold on to what should stay. Learn to be strong; a person can live beautifully alone. Learn to endure: remain silent when necessary. Learn to be content; contentment brings happiness. Learn to forget; memories fade, and life continues in the present. Learn to let go completely, without hesitation. Learn to be happier than before; even when sad, face life with a smile.
No one can have a lifetime of smooth sailing, and no one can guarantee constant peace of mind.
Everyone is born like a tadpole and may grow into a frog at the bottom of a well. This is not your fault, just your limitation, but you must find ways to overcome it. To understand the world, you must venture afar.
You are not your parents' sequel, not your children's prelude, and not a side story in your friends' lives.
Time gently slips through our fingers; whether we feel it or not, we leave contours in the cycles of life. Time never stops, but recycles steadily, not missing a step, not changing, and the sense of change comes from our feelings between then and now.
I remember Gu Cheng's line: “We stand, without speaking, and it is simply beautiful.” I love such quiet moments—standing silently, exchanging gazes, needing no words, hearts filled with joy, and the world feels beautiful.
In an era where only the survivors thrive, those who endure become leaders in their fields.
I enjoy warmth in the flow of time and forget the blooming flowers in the passing years.
