Live life naturally; peace of mind is true happiness. Maintain a positive and balanced mindset—know what to pursue and what to let go of, what to do and what to refrain from. There is no need to mask yourself or flatter others; simply be your authentic self. Peace of mind is the most beautiful state of living. Do not over-expect or force things; if it is meant to be, it will happen.
One must learn to transcend, or one will lack the breadth of spirit; one must take responsibility, or one will lack the foundation for success. Cherish life and hold fast to it, but do not forget its limits.
If your finger is dirty, there is no need to cut it off. If your hat is too small, there is no need to shave your head. To check if an egg has gone bad, there is no need to eat the whole thing.
Do not lament that you are not strong, nor believe that only heroes are powerful. When you experience the joy of overcoming yourself, you have already attained the heart of a strong person.
Friendship! How many people use this word to refer merely to pleasant casual conversations or tolerance of each other's weaknesses? Is that truly what friendship is?
Live your life with awareness every day. Do not live as if in a dream. Life is meant for experience, not just for drifting through the days.
You may fail in the past, but you must not fail in the future. You may fail in your tasks, but you must not fail as a person. Failure in tasks is temporary; failure in character is lifelong.
Nothing is insurmountable; it is just that some things can never be returned to.
A tree with shallow roots is easily toppled by a storm; a person is less likely to fall when they carry weight.
The art of wisdom is the art of knowing what to ignore.
Everyone receives two types of education: one from others, and more importantly, one from oneself.
When you feel happiness has left you, consider whether you have locked it away in a room. Open the door to happiness with your heart, and you will find that everything is still beautiful.
Associating with negative people will delay your future, and associating with those without conscience will drive good people away. People live through their own actions and experiences, while others merely watch and comment.
Life is a serialized story encompassing everything. The things that torment you are actually the motivations that inspire you.
