Just watching you quietly is my sweetest distance.
There is a kind of growth where, when faced with something you once cried for but couldn't have, you find yourself completely indifferent when it is offered to you later.
We are all swimmers, crossing the river of life. The fool thinks happiness lies on the far shore, but the wise man knows happiness is found in the breaking waves and the splashing spray. Do not envy those who surpass you; instead, look at those who are drowning—simply not being submerged is a stroke of luck. Do not mock those who come after; perhaps when the sun rises tomorrow, they will be swimming against the current. No matter where you are, think positively, look forward, and move toward your goals, so as not to live in vain.
Life is not perfect; twists and turns are also scenery. Once you see through it and understand it, it becomes perfect. Look clearly at yesterday, work solidly today, and look happily at tomorrow. Seek experience from yesterday, motivation from tomorrow, and results from today.
One must walk the path of life themselves, and success must be fought for. Many things are best understood personally through experience; many changes do not need to be spoken, only understood. All days will come, and all days will pass; everything seems to happen, yet everything seems as if nothing happened.
When it comes to love, our result is often having no result.
There is no absolute good or evil in this world. Humans are not grass or trees, and it is natural to have dark thoughts; I simply believe that when one strives for their own interests, being kind means not harming the innocent people around them. — Hong Yu, *Gu Jian Qi Tan*
The greatest freedom in life is not doing whatever you want, but not having to do what you don't want to do.
A prisoner about to be released from prison expressed his feelings: "Having spent so many years here, I'm actually a bit reluctant to leave my 'alma mater.' If I get the chance, I'll definitely be back!" The guards were left speechless.
Cherish the flowers when they bloom, and do not part when they fall. The hardest part of life is not effort or struggle, but making the right choices. Life itself is not bitter; bitterness comes from excessive desire. Life is a single path, with scenery at every step. God does not favor anyone; only when you have the courage to give up do you have the chance to gain. A magnificent fall is better than aimless wandering; even if you lose completely, treat it as another grand feast of fate.
Whether it is stormy waves or calm waters, it is merely a difference in lifestyle choices, with no distinction of high or low, right or wrong. Everyone has the right to choose a life that suits them, but regardless of the path, everyone has a reason for why they began. — Zhao Xing, *Don't Let Your Future Self Hate Your Present Self*
Let things take their course and live with a clear conscience. Be as calm as a bystander, observing life with detachment; maintain a positive mindset: seek what is worthy and let go of what is not; do what is right and abstain from what is not. Peace of mind is the most beautiful state of living. Do not over-expect, do not assume, and do not force; let things happen naturally, for if it is meant to be, it will be. Though the world changes, keep your heart untroubled. Ultimately, life is about one's state of mind. People often feel exhausted because too many things sway their emotions—the changing weather or the warmth and coldness of human relationships. If you look past them, the sky is merely sunny or cloudy, people merely meet and part, and the earth is merely high or low. Even amidst great changes, if your heart remains undisturbed, you will find freedom in following fate, remaining peaceful without sorrow or joy—that is your sunny day.
Do not pretend to be great; those who pose often find themselves brought down by others.
We are mortals, with our own joys, sorrows, loves, and hates. This is a restless world, but our hearts must not be restless. As the saying goes: Life never lacks beauty, as long as we remember that what we want is life itself.
The important thing in life is not where you stand, but the direction you are facing. In reality, some cry, some laugh, and some remain silent. Life is a form of endurance; beauty or ugliness, good or bad, lies only in one's own inner feelings. It is not society that gives us pressure, but the many selfish thoughts and distractions within ourselves.
Life is so long; you are merely a piece of scenery within it.
Life consists of only three days: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Yesterday passes quickly and time never returns; thus, cherish time. Cherish today, put friends and family first, and value the small details of life; cherish everything you have, and may our tomorrow be even more beautiful.
Learn to be resilient, for only in this way can you overcome the many difficulties in life.
Deep friendship is life's most precious wealth. When misunderstood, friendship brings comfort; when wronged, it brings peace of mind; when lonely, it brings care; when successful, it brings blessings. It is friendship that teaches us sincerity, moves us, and makes us understand happiness. The joy of friendship is endless.
Life is like a multiple-choice question; what troubles you are often the many options, not the question itself.
