Three days of heavenly life provide us with the map of our existence, giving us a direction to sail toward beautiful visions.
While the world awakens, I remain intoxicated; let not fame and fortune cloud my thoughts. If one is still three parts sober even when drunk, what harm is there in being three parts more drunk?
If life goes well, I will remember you; if it goes poorly, I will not.
Empathy is a gift, not a duty. Do not take the concessions of others for granted, for no one is obligated to be kind indefinitely.
Beauty fades in a blink. Rather than pining for someone from afar, it is better to let go and wander freely in the world.
We cannot control our bodies—their birth, sickness, or aging. Nor can we control our inner selves, to make them still and reflective like a mirror.
No matter how much one reads, if the mind is narrow and the spiritual realm remains unopened, their writing is merely ornate decoration. But if one possesses a broad mind and profound insight, even the simplest words possess a soul-shaking power. Just as a person of low character appears vulgar in fine silks, a person of high character exudes an extraordinary grace even in coarse clothing.
Your future depends on the decisions you make and the efforts you exert today.
Life is like a mirror; what people see in it is a reflection of their own mindset. If your mindset is dim, life will appear lusterless; if it is bright, life will be filled with sunshine. Living with helplessness, doubt, fear, or anxiety is nothing but an ordeal. Conversely, living in the peaceful joy of existence reveals life's true beauty, bringing tranquility to the soul. This is the attitude we should all strive to possess.
It must be admitted that time changes much. Some things are better left unseen to avoid heartache; some people are better left misunderstood to avoid sorrow. Life is a kind of ambiguity and blurriness. To see clearly is trouble; to understand deeply is sadness. Not seeing clearly brings a sense of lightness and peace.
Care does not require sweet words, only sincerity; friendship does not require constant presence, only remembrance; greetings do not require elegant phrasing, only a true heart; protection does not require specific forms, only warmth. In life, your circle needn't be large—just enough to hold yourself; friends needn't be many—just enough to be natural.
Your sudden appearance dazzled my time. Seeing a buzz cut, I think of you; seeing a black T-shirt from behind, I think of you; seeing someone playing sports, I think of you. Take good care of yourself, and I will strive to become the excellent version of myself in your eyes.
Youthful secrets: a heart full of joy but lacking courage. If it is missed, it is missed; should I watch silently or muster the courage?
I was once labeled as introverted and socially awkward, but I will work harder to change and find my true friends.
Don't bow your head, or your crown will fall; don't cry, or the wicked will laugh; don't sob, for your parents will ache.
Life is short, and even shorter. Youth is the starting point of life. One of life's greatest mistakes is wasting youth.
Life is unpredictable, with constant ups and downs. In the process of growth, everyone sustains wounds. Happiness does not vanish into thin air; it usually erodes bit by bit. Happiness does not arrive suddenly; it accumulates bit by bit. The insights gained from loss and gain are also tasted bit by bit.
One cannot regret the past, but one can change direction. A kind heart is naturally beautiful, and a compassionate heart is naturally gentle. The more you think you are extraordinary, the less extraordinary you are; the more you realize you are nothing special, the more extraordinary you truly become. Thus, the sage is not self-proclaimed, and the ordinary person is not self-described.
May everything get better; may every step I take now have meaning; may I no longer self-pity; may I achieve my desires and live up to no one's disappointment.
