Only after experiencing pain do we learn how to protect ourselves; only after crying do we understand what heartbreak feels like; only after foolishness do we learn when to persist and when to let go; only after love do we realize how fragile we truly are. Life does not require so many unnecessary attachments. Not everything must be held onto—sometimes it is simply fate that is mismatched, love that comes at the wrong time.
A tender young leaf picked in the early morning, after going through multiple processes, seems to have aged, losing its original green vitality and softness, like an old person curled up in a sealed space, quietly awaiting its fate.
Learn to be grateful to those who gave you life and allowed you to experience the world; grateful to those who helped you and showed you human warmth; grateful to those who needed you and made you realize your own value; and even grateful to those who hurt you, for they helped you understand the meaning of growth.
Those who accept bribes are guilty, but those who offer bribes bear even greater responsibility.
Be sincere in both character and action, and uphold honesty in dealing with others and handling affairs.
The wise often carry melancholy, while the foolish tend to live carefreely.
Deception through borrowed strength may succeed temporarily, but it will ultimately be despised.
Life is like a flower, love is its nectar; ideals are like a boat, confidence is its rudder.
Life is a mountain; the harder you climb, the more magnificent the view becomes.
Life is like a book, written with sweat, tears, and even blood; paginated by time; bound by experience; and read with the heart.
A towering tree grows strong because of deep roots; a brilliant life is achieved by refusing to remain ordinary.
The essence of life lies not in waiting or imagining, but in exploration and pursuit.
Beautiful waves are formed by the collision with reefs; brilliant sparks are created by the striking of hammer and anvil; the value of life emerges through pursuit and struggle.
Life is short, yet joy exists within hardship, if one knows how to appreciate it.
Life is like a fleeting bloom; rather than planting seeds of regret, it is better to cultivate the sprouts of love.
Life is not only about pleasing others’ recognition, but also about self-pursuit and self-affirmation.
