Divide life into two halves: do not hesitate in the first half, and do not regret in the second.
When you miss someone but do not wish to see them, you finally realize that you miss them not because of their virtues, but because no one else has made you feel that way since. What you are reminiscing about, from beginning to end, is love. No one in this world is destined to be alone; it would be too tragic if a person could only love one person in a lifetime. There will always be someone else who appears to love you again.
Beauty belongs to the confident, composure to the prepared, miracles to the persistent, and success to the resilient.
A mistake is an occasional error, but a missed opportunity is a permanent regret.
Although the blue sky is beautiful, it is often unpredictable. However, it often becomes a monumental figure because it can withstand the tests of great winds and waves. — Fang Haiquan

For humanity, survival itself is a journey. — Dong Shan Kui Yi
Leaning gently on the years, reading the passing time. A moment of Zen makes life warm and peaceful; a touch of simplicity keeps time untroubled. Picking up a bit of peaceful years, planting a bit of understanding; as time flows through autumn, a smile blooms in the heart, telling a story of Zen, letting simple thoughts scatter with the wind and rain, leaving words of peace across the city. Time is so beautiful and tranquil, and that is wonderful!
Prosperity does not lead to decadence, and poverty does not lead to lowliness; a man who reaches this is a hero. — Cheng Hao
Life is like a ball; the person who taught you your first steps may not be the one who stays until the end.
One must maintain pride when successful, and endure anger when facing failure.
Those who live in yesterday lose the past; those who live in tomorrow lose the future; those who live in today possess both the past and the future.
Inner joy is the pleasure one feels when living a healthy, normal, and harmonious life.
Life is a great treasure, and I know how to select the most precious jewels from it.
Life is a practice: through tempering, you become strong; through parting, you perceive the joy of reunion; through bitterness, you know sweetness; through loss, you learn to cherish what you have; through disappointment, you learn to choose with composure; and through imperfection, you grasp the meaning of perfection. Through joys and sorrows, flowers blooming and falling, keep a sense of preciousness; walk the path with peace, joy, and enlightenment.
No matter if there is food on someone else's face, please look in the mirror first.
Have the courage to bow your head, and the confidence to lift it.
We do not need to compare ourselves with others; everyone has their own life trajectory and imperfections, yet every life has its own joy. We should accept our losses and deficiencies with an open mind, understanding that imperfection is part of life. To recognize one's shortcomings, face them bravely, and continue to move forward while enjoying the process of life, is the attitude we should have.
Do not try to add time to your life, but rather add life to your time.
If happiness lies in physical pleasure, then it should be said that cows are happy when they find fodder to eat. — Heraclitus
No matter how you made up your mind initially, no one knows what will happen until the result is out. So rather than worrying, work hard. Throw away hesitation, as it only wastes time; throw away worry, as it only distracts you. All you can do is believe in yourself and do your best. Remember the determination you made; as long as the path is your own choice, you do not fear the distance.
Life is like a stream, encountering many obstacles and twists, eventually flowing into a calm lake.
Life is like a match; forbidding its use is foolish, while abusing it is dangerous.
The greatest tragedy in life is not losing too much, but calculating too much, which is a major reason for unhappiness.
Life is like a USB drive: copy what you need and delete what you do not.
Thorns exist so that wild grass is not easily trampled upon.
He who plays at life will achieve nothing; he who cannot master himself will always be a slave. — Goethe
Busyness is a blessing that leaves no time for pain; rushing about is a joy that allows us to truly feel life; exhaustion is an enjoyment that leaves no room for emptiness.
What often makes people lose their reason is external temptation; what often exhausts one's heart is one's own desire.
Success is not something that only exists in the future; it is the continuous accumulation from the moment you decide to act.
Do not worry about an obscure future; only strive for a clear present.
Sometimes, by letting nature take its course, you will realize whether things are truly worth having.
Struggle is the father of all things. — Tao Xingzhi
In childhood, happiness is simple; in adulthood, simplicity is happiness!
Do not let the pressures of life crowd out your joy. No matter what happened yesterday, no matter how embarrassed, helpless, or bitter you were, it is all in the past and cannot be changed. Let yesterday carry away all the bitterness, exhaustion, and pain; today, we must collect our spirits and start anew!
Say your love out loud, for you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first!
There is no eternal 'night' in the human world, and no eternal 'winter' in the world. — Ai Qing
I never regard ease and pleasure as the essence of life—I call this ethical foundation the 'pigsty ideal.' — Einstein
Life cannot be deceived; one must live with integrity and honor. — Feng Xuefeng
One should live in the moment without attachments. With nothing that must be done and nothing that cannot be done, and nothing to play with or forbidden to play with, one stays far from disputes. Thus, regardless of what happens or what does not happen, one remains indifferent and free from worry. Only this transcendent state is unaffected by anything.
People who think they are clever often meet a poor end. The wisest people in the world are the most honest, for only the honest can withstand the test of facts and history. — Zhou Enlai
Life is a one-way journey; even if there are regrets, we have no chance to start over. Rather than obsessing over an unchangeable past, it is better to cherish the future with a smile.
On a bus, you might feel lucky seeing a cyclist pedaling hard in the cold wind, while the cyclist might feel a sense of relief seeing you squeezed like a sardine in the bus. It turns out that our shortcomings are often discovered in others.

Society is like a boat, and everyone must be prepared to steer. — Ibsen
Labor is a form of creation. — Gorky
What you flaunt is what you lack; what you hide is what you are insecure about. A 'normal' person is simply someone with better self-defense. True psychological health is being undefended yet unharmed.
Perfection cannot be pursued in everything; only doing one's best can. This way, without pressure, the results will actually be better. — Fang Haiquan
No one can go back to the past to start over, but you can start creating a new ending from today.
I never regard ease and pleasure as the purpose of life itself—this ethical foundation, I call it the 'pigsty ideal.' — Einstein
Time is the ultimate resource for everyone.
Destiny is like your palm lines: although they are winding, they are always held in your own hands.
Flowers bloom in desolate places even without a name; humble grass can spread a lush green. Accept what you gain calmly, let go of what you lose gracefully, follow nature, and strive for what is necessary. Be peaceful in time and grow old in the years. In life, just let things be; peace of mind brings natural happiness. In this world, one needs to constantly clean the dust from the soul, reflect, realize, and respect oneself. Two people, understanding and respecting each other, without entanglement or possession, simply accompanying one another.
As people grow, they realize that what they once cared for deeply is no longer worth mentioning; as the heart matures, one understands that simplicity is most beautiful and pure joy is most genuine. When acting in the world, do things with a beautiful heart; when being in the world, keep things simple. Living is actually very simple if you keep it so; only by smiling at gains and losses can you achieve a broad vision; only with a transparent heart can spring flowers bloom. In life, why carry so much baggage? Just let go, look past it, and move on. That is all.
Human life is like a rushing torrent; without hitting islands or reefs, it is difficult to create beautiful waves. — Alexander Nevsky Ostrovsky
Mutual respect is the first virtue, and necessary distance is the prerequisite for any kind of respect.
Life is like a grand stage, and everyone has a role to play. As for what role to perform, that is for you to decide.
