No matter how long the journey is, you can reach the destination by moving forward step by step. No matter how short the road is, you will never arrive if you refuse to take the first step. Do not let too much of yesterday occupy today. In life, there is no need to argue over everything. Learn to let go of stubbornness and prejudice when dealing with others. As the saying goes, “When water is too clear, there are no fish; when people are too exacting, they have few friends.” What life truly requires is a calm and peaceful mind, a free and unburdened heart, and a simple yet thoughtful attitude toward life.
“Five things to do: sing, dance, stay charming, smile, and keep fit. Six things not to do: don't wait until you're hungry to eat, thirsty to drink, sleepy to sleep, tired to rest, sick to get a checkup, or old to regret.”
The blue sky leaves space, allowing the poetic beauty of “delicate clouds weaving wonders and shooting stars carrying sorrow” to emerge. History leaves blanks as well, inspiring endless reflection and imagination.
Stay close to wise mentors and serve them with respect; loyalty should not be betrayed.
Life is like a pencil that is constantly being used. It starts out sharp, but gradually becomes smoother and more rounded. Yet if it becomes too rounded, it will eventually need sharpening again.
Learn to enjoy life. When faced with its joys and sorrows, sweetness and hardships, there is no need to struggle excessively. Embrace every experience with a calm and composed heart.
