Life has its ups and downs, but no matter what, never lose your peace of mind. When your mood is good, everything goes well; when it is bad, everything falls into chaos. Cry when you want to cry, and laugh when you want to laugh. Do not let the hypocrisy of the world turn you hypocritical; do not wear yourself out, and learn to keep things deep within.
Idealizing the person you love is a dangerous thing. It could be that they hide their flaws too well, or that you have painted them too beautifully in your mind. Both can lead to heartbreak. There are no perfect lovers or perfect love, only two imperfect people coming together to write a complete life.
Hold beauty in your heart, and warmth will surround you; hold great love, and greatness will follow; hold others in your heart, and true affection will be returned; hold hope, and happiness will arrive; hold dreams, and opportunities will surround you; hold perseverance, and joy will accompany you; hold sincerity, and peace will follow; hold kindness, and sunshine will shine upon you; hold gratitude, and mentors will favor you.
The past will not return, and what returns is never perfect. If you are not strong, who will you show your weakness to? Face a complex life with a complex heart and walk a complex path. Live with an attitude of being at ease with whatever comes. Occasionally reflecting on the past may make you feel as if you are regressing. Expectation, waiting, and failure—life is often a series of struggles. Sometimes, it is not that we are incompatible, but rather that others are a better fit.
Making money is no different. Healthy wealth requires intense competition, significant time, and energy. One needs a business mindset, patience, and perseverance, along with accumulated skills. Those who seek quick riches through dishonest means rarely find peace and seldom meet a good end.
Support and mentor those who are just beginning.
Serve and respect your parents with filial devotion.
Life will always be much different from what you imagined, but let that not diminish the aspirations in your heart.
