You don't need to agonize over how to please others; if you always believe in yourself, you will find that many people will come to please you.
Are you willing to let your remaining life become a colorful stone, meeting you throughout your life?
It's okay to walk a little slower; at least the road won't be so crowded.
Life is like a stream, inseparable from the water, yet unable to escape the rocks beneath.
Let your soul approach the bosom of the ocean. As the ocean accepts a hundred rivers, our hearts must embrace both good and bad, success and failure. Learn to endure, to tolerate, to smile, to be brave, to be simple, and to be indifferent. Step into the sea, merge with the sea, and become the sea. Do not always complain, but occasional venting can be a way to relieve pressure—pour out the bitterness, and then continue.
If you are performing or speaking, continue with all your heart as long as there is even one person listening. Even if no one applauds, keep performing, for this is your path to success. You don't need the audience to succeed; you need to succeed in what you do.
We often treat the small kindnesses of strangers as great favors, yet take the unwavering love of those close to us for granted. Those who truly love you rarely perish from major upheavals; instead, it is the accumulation of small disappointments that becomes the fatal wound. Sweet words are often just lies occasionally kept, while deep affection is a heavy burden we can never truly carry.
Hating others is a great loss to yourself; forgiving others is creating space in your heart to find balance.
Only by letting go of the past can you live more happily.
Life is short; we should treat our being with kindness and contemplate the meaning of existence. Life is not meant for finding answers or solving problems, but for living joyfully. For every bit of trouble in life, one needs a bit of Zen to find relief.
