It is sad not to see your own strengths, and pitiful not to recognize your weaknesses.
Wealth is relative; those who have little and desire even less are richer than those who have much but want more.
Greedily taking unjust wealth is disgraceful. A truly wealthy person would never obtain riches through such shameful means, for it brings the punishment of conscience and the racing of one's own heart.
The best age is the day you finally realize and firmly believe how good you truly are. This is not pretension, exaggeration, or praise from others, but a clear recognition within yourself: yes, I am indeed this good!
Only by letting go can you truly take up. Simplify your life as much as possible, and you will find that the landscapes once blocked are the most suitable for your life. Do not cling excessively, lest you carry a heavy burden.
