Human relationships are like rain—they fall and then dry up. Friends are like clouds—they gather and then disperse. Melancholy is like a pot of wine—one gets drunk and then wakes up. Loneliness is like a star—it flashes and then dies out. Solitude is like the moon—it rises and then sets. Death is like a dream—one sleeps when tired. How far is it from life to death? Just a breath. From confusion to enlightenment? Just a thought. From love to hate? In the midst of impermanence. From ancient times to now? In a moment of laughter. From you to me? In the act of understanding.
Many people spend their lives accumulating experiences, but to others, those experiences might just be like outdated clothes that no longer fit.
If you want to catch fish, you must get into the water.
It is not that I want to be extraordinarily hardworking, I just don't want my future self to look down on my present self.
For some, life is beautiful because they spend their entire lives striving for a certain goal.
Most things in life do not go as planned; no one's life is always calm. Since we cannot control or predict life's encounters, the best way to avoid friction is to learn to adapt to circumstances.
Social norms often make people seek approval from others. However, only by truly knowing oneself can one keep their life's ship from losing direction. With a clear goal and confidence, one can achieve greatness.
Happiness is both far and near; it depends on your perspective and mindset. Sometimes it is something you struggle to obtain; sometimes it is a destination you reach after a long journey; sometimes it is a sense of relief when seeing others' misfortunes. More often, happiness is a feeling—a mindset. Once you realize it, you will find its shadow everywhere in life.
