Chasing glory and wealth is like chasing shadows; it is better to seek an authentic self. Seeking power, status, or riches is futile compared to seeking a joyful heart. A mind as light as drifting clouds yet as steady as a rock allows one to escape inner turmoil. Life has its ups and downs, but no matter what you lose, never lose your peace of mind. We all must live through this life; rather than frowning, it is better to find joy in the small things. Facing more hardships than pleasures is an inevitability of life, being able to endure both is a sign of composure, and transforming suffering into joy is the transcendence of a wise person. Leaning against a balcony to listen to the wind and rain, calmly watching the world pass by.
