One should have perseverance, but not be obstinate. Many things in life cannot be changed; we must learn to change what can be changed and adapt to what cannot. Changing the world is difficult, while changing oneself is relatively easier. What does not belong to you cannot be kept even if you love it. There is no need to care too much about certain people or things; let nature take its course and face life with the best mindset.
If we pile all our problems together and then look at others’, we often find ourselves regaining a sense of relief.
Life is only a few decades long; do not leave regrets behind. Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, and love when it is time to love—do not suppress yourself. Do not be afraid to face anyone or anything; perhaps they are more nervous than you are, and these situations may be tests for you. One of the easiest things in the world is procrastination, which requires the least effort but consumes life the most.
