Laozi said, when the hard teeth fall out, the soft tongue remains. Softness overcomes hardness, and non-action surpasses action. Learning to maintain a modest posture at the right time is not cowardice or shrinking, but a wise way of dealing with the world, representing great wisdom and a high realm of life.
Longing is a poem that lets you find rhythm in ordinary days; longing is a rain that moistens your dry days; longing is a ray of sunshine that brightens your gloomy days.
The ancients cared for their parents with utmost devotion. Today, we can use modern technology to provide material comfort, but do we often remember our aging and lonely parents? What they truly need most is the warmth of familial love!
Regardless of life's length, we must experience much. Some people cannot be etched into memory, and some events cannot be settled into reminiscence. For painful people and things, learn to be indifferent once you move on and to forget once you turn away. Only in this way will our burdens be light and our bodies and minds not be overly exhausted. Remember, reunions are brief, and partings are eternal. No one is your eternal attachment, and no matter is your ultimate longing.
Work is work, and life is life. In work, you play a professional role; in life, you are yourself. Work is only a small part of life; never mistake your means of livelihood for the entirety of your existence!
If the elevator to success breaks down, take the stairs, step by step. As long as there are stairs, or any ladder, to reach where you want to go, it doesn't matter if the elevator is broken. What matters is that you keep climbing steadily.
Fate allows us to create a warm and romantic spiritual home, giving us subtle preoccupations, heartfelt attachments, earnest waiting, and the persistence of this life and the anticipation of the next.
