Choices lead to missed opportunities; missing opportunities leads to loss; loss leads to cherishing; cherishing leads to gain; and gain leads back to choices.
A man is like a button; if you fasten him correctly, he is both decent and practical. If you fail to secure him properly, do not blame him for being crooked or falling off.
Choices lead to missed opportunities; missing opportunities leads to loss; loss leads to cherishing; cherishing leads to gain; and gain leads back to choices. Everything in the universe is a cycle, much like a play; if you do not force things, karma will eventually unfold.
Wounds heal with time, grievances fade with understanding, and pain becomes a habit through endurance. Some words are kept in the heart not out of secrecy, but because some pains cannot be voiced aloud.
One should show tolerance toward petty people; taking a step back opens up a wider sky. Great people are magnanimous, while petty people are narrow-minded. Avoiding trouble-makers is often the wisest course.
As the rain falls, reminiscent of a thousand years past, the scent of reeds and lotus fills the air. In the old pavilion, I write words infused with ink. Perhaps no one in this life will understand my unspoken emotions; I can only watch the fleeting beauty of life and gaze toward the distant horizon.
Exchange sincerity for sincerity: Speak with your heart, and I shall respond with mine. A person who never appreciates others will never be appreciated by anyone.
Any success is the result of tireless and hard pursuit; there are no shortcuts to great achievements.
Escaping doesn't mean avoiding, facing isn't always the hardest, solitude isn't always lonely, gaining isn't always permanent, losing isn't always final, and turning away isn't always weakness. True friends do not boast about friendship; they do not demand things, but rather do everything they can for one another. I may not believe in reincarnation, but I believe in karma. How you treat emotions is how they will return to you. If you mistreat someone who loves you, that very hurt will be returned to you in full.
Choices lead to missed opportunities; missing opportunities leads to loss; loss leads to cherishing; cherishing leads to gain; and gain leads back to choices.
