What am I waiting for? I do not know; only that faint emotion is gradually becoming sorrowful. Every word I write is time etched into memory—a departure without farewell, nine thousand pieces of plain paper, each a song of separation.
A person of ambition will not lose heart due to a single failure. If they fall, they will rise; even if they fall a thousand times, they will rise a thousand times, knowing that success lies beyond a thousand failures.
I wish to be a peach blossom, falling upon the mortal world where you exist, leaving a moment of fleeting beauty. I wish to be a flowering tree, waiting by the path you must take, becoming the most beautiful scenery in your eyes. As flowers bloom upon the path, a warm encounter unfolds; with a single glance back from you, I offer my moonlight splendor.
I only wish to bind my dark hair and journey through a lifetime of love; I only wish to hold your hand for a lifetime of tenderness. You spoke of begonia outside the curtain and mandarin ducks on a silk screen, but later, tea smoke rose green and shadows grew dim. I remember everything you said—those gentle, lingering words feel like they were just yesterday, echoing in my ears, though the one who spoke them is gone.
Only when you define success within your heart can you truly attain a sense of controllable happiness and a life of consistent fulfillment. The strong see the peaks of hope, while the weak see only the cliffs of danger; those who complain about fate only bring new misfortunes upon themselves.
In the cold of winter, one eats ginseng and deer meat; in the frost, one takes restorative soups. Winter nourishment is mostly absorbed, while summer nourishment is lost through sweat. Nourish in the past year to hunt tigers this year! A person has only one true interest and one true joy: the full development of their potential. Simply possess and learn the philosophy and confidence of conduct, and do not limit yourself in the confusion of whether something is "doable" or "undue."
When you do something right, you are often not mentioned; when you do something wrong, you are often not forgotten. Only repaying injury with kindness is the fundamental way to end all grievances. Use morality to transform, rather than harboring resentment; repaying resentment with resentment can never turn an enemy into a friend.
Any success is the result of tireless and painstaking pursuit; there is no such thing as easy gain in this world.
Many people set goals but fail to follow through. If they cannot achieve their goals within a set timeframe, they give up. When I set a goal, I ensure I follow through.
Understand the principles of Yin and Yang to find peace of mind. Light accompanies darkness, correctness accompanies error, progress accompanies decline, highs accompany lows, prosperity accompanies adversity, joy accompanies pain, strength accompanies weakness, gain accompanies sacrifice, labor accompanies rest, speed accompanies slowness, closeness accompanies distance, beauty accompanies ugliness, love accompanies hate, and glory accompanies shame. All things follow this principle; the difference lies in the degree.
When judging right and wrong, the amount of knowledge is not as important as the choice of stance. Stances are divided into public and private, self and others. When dealing with public interests, one should express opinions from their own stance, as most private interests constitute the public interest. When dealing with private matters, one should stand on a public footing to avoid conflict with public interests. When dealing with the interests between oneself and others, one should try to consider the situation from the other's perspective, benefiting oneself while also benefiting others.
Those who avoid reality will face an even less ideal future.
Choosing a marriage determines a woman's half-life of happiness.
If you gaze at a flower long enough, you will become a butterfly.
A busy person is tested by only one demon, but a lazy person is tempted by a thousand.
99% effort and 1% inspiration are not enough for success; you must also possess 200% moral character as a guarantee.
The three most precious emotions in life: romantic love, familial love, and friendship.
