Life is a form of endurance; we must learn to support ourselves. When those we love depart, no amount of grief can change fate, for life is defined by inevitable partings and reunions. When rumors fly, even the most eloquent defense may fail to clear one's name, as the world is inherently turbulent. Do not place too much weight on yourself; the grievances, frustrations, and tears are all essential parts of your journey.
Maintaining innocence is vital. Never lose your open mind and childlike enthusiasm, as they unlock infinite possibilities. While truth can be ambiguous, lies often seem straightforward. The best approach is to rely on experience without losing your sense of wonder. Miracles exist in everything; one only needs to observe with an open heart.
Even in a humble room, one can find companionship in objects and enjoy moments of leisure. To use a metaphor: I am no more lonely than a duck in a lake or the lake itself, for nature provides constant companionship. Like a dandelion on the vast prairie, a leaf, a fly, or a bee, we are never truly alone.
Do not waste your life on things you will eventually regret.
Those who can lighten the burden of others are truly valuable in this world.
The twenties can be a period of profound confusion. In their twenties, Shi Yuzhu studied mathematics at Zhejiang University, Jack Ma faced constant setbacks, and Wang Shi served as a driver in the Gobi Desert. There is no such thing as a job that is "high-paying, low-effort, and close to home." During the most vital years of life, one must rely firmly on oneself.
Life ebbs and flows, moving between stillness and motion, intensity and tranquility. It possesses the lightness of a drifting leaf, the grace of a dancing spirit, the brilliance of youth, and the serene peace of old age.
