When an accident happens to someone else, do not always remain a bystander. Instead, reflect on what insights and experiences you can gain from it.
From today on, be a happy person. Happiness is not about intense joy or sorrow; it exists only in a sensitive heart. It is like a small flower swaying in the wind—when you feel it with care, its faint fragrance will gently nourish your soul. It is also like the starlight hidden behind clouds; when you clear the mist and see love and being loved within your heart, and the deepest inner peace, happiness will quietly bloom like a flower.
Some people believe in feng shui, while wise people believe in the mind. Everything is created by the mind. People often say learning lies in the mountains, but they do not realize it exists within a small space of the heart. Those with virtue naturally have good fortune; the wise focus on principles rather than appearances, while the ignorant focus on appearances rather than principles.
Compassion is a bit like a cold; once you catch it, those around you can hardly avoid being affected as well.
When you are about to lose your temper, consider how you actually feel—it is not pleasant. So why carry hatred with you? Hatred brings no benefit to yourself or others; it is merely a burden too heavy to carry, no matter how short or long the journey.
Do not always say it is still early, because perhaps the next second will already be too late.
