Our life does not exist to please others. We often hear about masculine and feminine qualities. Do you know what masculine or feminine really means? Masculine is being open and brave, while feminine is being gentle and considerate. The greatest trouble of love is that you make me ill, yet you are also my cure. If the outcome is happiness, I am willing to endure brief suffering; if the outcome is sorrow, I am willing to forgo short-lived joy. Do not wait to love or be loved. Our time is limited and precious, so we should seize the opportunity to love ourselves. Learn to be independent; only when your inner strength is sufficient can you support others' happiness. People gain the chance to reflect only when they understand the concept of pause. The ones we love deeply may not be with us until old age, but that is fine. What matters is meeting during the most beautiful moments, accepting my whims and bad temper, yet still smiling at me, and that is enough. Every low point carries the strongest upward power, every tear washes away the deepest shadows. Every hardship you experience will ultimately guide you toward a path of positive development. Adversity is the harshest yet best survival training; the key is whether you recognize its value and use it to grow. We cannot hold onto every beautiful moment in life. Everyone lives in constant change, and everyone’s life flows. Whether a life is remarkable depends not on how many treasures one keeps, but on how many beautiful moments one has experienced and could not retain. Not being able to hold on is sorrowful; never having anything worth keeping is even more sorrowful. What defines a good job: it does not disrupt your routine, it does not interfere with family gatherings, and it can support your family. The best days are simply those when you are playful and they are smiling, experiencing warmth throughout life.
