For the strong, failure is a beginning; for the weak, failure is the end. As age increases, it may become a norm to go six months without sexual activity. Before you retire, avoid wearing pajamas when taking out trash or walking the dog, even in the middle of the night. Only by knowing and conquering yourself can you master others. Shakyamuni Buddha said, "With hatred, hatred is never appeased; with love, hatred is appeased." As long as I am in love, I will never leave; if I no longer love, I will never linger. Even an endgame is important—life is much the same. Life must be taken step by step; one cannot rush through it all at once. Life is a lever, and belief is its "fulcrum." With this "fulcrum," there will be a flame that continues to burn in the heart. Just as Sima Qian, after suffering castration, worked hard to write his books, producing the "finest song of historians, a rhythm-less 'Li Sao'" as praised by Lu Xun, the Records of the Grand Historian. A brave person needs perseverance and resistance, clenching their teeth to grow alongside both the wind, rain, and sunshine. Someone who deceives you once will not miss a second chance, so do not harbor illusions about scammers. Attempting to improve oneself by belittling others only exposes one's own ignorance and poverty. One needs good character and profound knowledge to ensure that scammers do not dare to approach.
