A winner is usually clear-headed when winning, while only the loser becomes confused.
When they say, 'Let's take some time to cool off, okay?' respond calmly with 'okay' and hang up. Do not beg; they are not seeking your opinion.
The words of the lamp-flower: life is bitter. Do not laugh at my many mistakes. A pair of withered cups, a sense of loneliness as tea grows cold. In the empty mountains and rivers, listening to the night rain. Truly, the world needs no more; mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, all wiped away in one stroke. Only asking about the future, how many will watch? Do not ask me; holding hands with the green mountains, a single word to accompany. It is said: alas, the heavens, the bridge of the human world, tears for three lifetimes, mistakes of three lifetimes. A single command, a person at the bow, a heart at the stern. Dreams divide, people divide; the emotions of the world, the parting of love, the parting of people. Truly, three parts of tender affection, a trace of coldness missed between the brows, and heartlessness in hand and mind. One wait, one kinship, one estrangement; wounded fingertips, awakening to tomorrow, tears in the river of love, holding onto fate to express lifelong longing.
I have grown used to your affectionate calls of 'bad guy' and your sweet smiles. Every time I see your smile, I feel a profound sense of peace. Your tranquil face brings me immense serenity.

Can a person truly ignore gossip and smile at success and failure with bravado? Perhaps we show smiles to the world, but who can truly understand the tears hidden behind them? After success or failure, we inevitably look back. Despite the setbacks and the 'broken teapots,' we do so because we are human—possessing emotions and souls, experiencing both vulnerability and strength. To lament the helplessness of life and to enrich its meaning is perhaps the very value of existence.
The true greatness of a scholar lies in the magnificent work they perform in silence, without seeking fame during their lifetime.
In a single tear you shed, I see the entire ocean within your heart.
Hatred can never resolve hatred; only tolerance can. This is an eternal truth.
