Like maple leaves that remain fiery red in severe frost, like pines and cypresses that stay evergreen in cold winds, and like wintersweet that stands proudly in ice and snow—this is the true strong person in life. Happiness is largely a state of tranquility and comfort, for only in a peaceful atmosphere can genuine joy and happiness exist.
Young people carry lofty ideals and are determined to pursue truth, regardless of life or death. Do not look back, and do not lose heart.
When you do the right thing, it is often not mentioned; when you make mistakes, they are often remembered. Only by repaying harm with virtue can all resentment truly be resolved. Use kindness to influence others, and do not harbor hatred; repaying hatred with hatred can never turn enemies into friends.
Dear self, you have just begun to regain strength, please do not let yourself sink into despair again. Nothing is worth prolonged sorrow—be a little happier. In life, so many dreams cannot be fulfilled, and so many goals are difficult to achieve. How can everything go as one wishes? One should only seek to have no regrets in the heart. Perhaps all waiting is for the moment when everything settles. Through the endless passage of time, those fragmented days have been polished into wind chimes, softly singing on the threshold of the heart.
Though an ant hole is small, it can collapse a thousand-mile dam.
