Dear self, you have just found your strength again, so please do not let yourself sink into depression. Nothing is worth your sadness; please find joy. In this life, there are many dreams we cannot realize and many goals we cannot reach. "One cannot expect everything to go as one wishes, but one can strive to have a clear conscience." Perhaps all the waiting is merely for that moment when the dust settles. Passing through the endless dawn and dusk, those fragmented moments have been polished into wind chimes, singing softly upon the lintel of my soul.
If you imagine soaring like an eagle, you must fly with eagles, not with swallows; if you imagine galloping like a wolf, you must run with the pack, not with deer or sheep. In life, you may not have fame or vast wealth, nor be a great leader or a high official, but as long as you possess a pure and spotless heart, your soul can look up to the heavens without shame.
Learn the principle of Yin and Yang to find peace of mind. Light exists with darkness, correctness with error, progress with decline, peaks with troughs, prosperity with adversity, joy with pain, strength with weakness, gain with sacrifice, labor with rest, speed with slowness, closeness with distance, beauty with ugliness, passion with hatred, and glory with shame. All things follow this logic; the difference lies only in their degree.
The first person receives the oyster; the second receives the shell.
If I had sufficient funds, I would be delighted to fly to Mars. I hope to realize this dream, even if I can never return to Earth.
The hardest and most significant task in life is to be a person—to be a true human being in this world. Such a person brings wealth and happiness to others while alive, and leaves a lasting memory in the hearts of others after death.
Life may share similar patterns, but it follows different principles; opportunities always favor those who are spiritually rich.
As we grow day by day, our parents grow older. What can we give to repay the grace of their upbringing?
Everyone born into this world should be like brothers. May we live under the same roof like kin, huddling together warmly to welcome the first light of dawn and chasing the sunset in joyful play.
