Life is long, so try to avoid overexertion. Pushing too hard can prevent you from going far; do not treat life’s marathon as a hundred-meter sprint. Use at most 80% of your effort, leaving 20% for maintaining your health and enjoying life. Similarly, loving someone excessively not only exhausts yourself but also the other person, often leading to unsatisfactory outcomes. Love others with at most 80%, keeping 20% for yourself.
As you navigate life, be your own observer. Do not change for anyone; change only because you want to. Those who truly care about you will accept you as you are.
Think carefully before acting to avoid regrets; this is a proper approach to life. However, this attitude can sometimes appear overly cautious. Conversely, acting first and then reviewing and reflecting may yield greater rewards.
