If you do not frequently encounter setbacks, it indicates that what you are doing lacks innovation.
The heart is like a container that can open and close. When we focus solely on our own desires, it shrinks; when we consider others, it gradually expands. A single thought can change the scope of the heart, making it as vast as the universe or as minute as dust.
Encountering setbacks on the path to your goals is not frightening; what is truly frightening is doubting your own abilities because of those setbacks. Stay strong and dare to take risks, and there is hope for victory.
Older generations are often selfless, living cautiously and heavily burdened; younger generations can be overly self-centered, plagued with worries, and equally exhausted. One cannot live solely for others and lose oneself, gaining only social significance; nor can one live only for oneself, ignoring others, gaining only self-satisfaction. The essence of life lies in properly balancing oneself with others, and internal with external realities.
This is the difference between flowers and stones: flowers can be picked, but stones cannot be taken away.
The fastest pace is not a leap, but continuity; the slowest pace is not small steps, but lingering. Focusing too much on your own wounds may make you forget to reach for the hands extended to you. One should not be like a plastic bag, endlessly storing without giving.
Believe in yourself; even the most ordinary story is your own life path. Trust your creativity and plans, and you can make your life shine brightly.
