Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. A good life means doing what should be done at each stage; do not think that drawing circles repeatedly is not progress. Why do people spend so much time praying for something trivial instead of working to earn enough to buy it? There are three ways to solve all problems: accept, change, or leave. Forge ahead without dwelling on the past or gloating over past achievements. Yes, I will wait. Just as I am lying here now, gazing at the blue sky and the sea. While no one is successful and happy throughout their entire life, maintaining a magnanimous and open-minded heart can at least increase our joy and reduce our suffering. Similarly, although no one is a failure or in pain forever, a mindset of constant anxiety and petty calculation will certainly magnify suffering and diminish happiness. Awakening often comes too late.
