Success is when you wake up, no matter where you are or how old you are, and spring out of bed because you are eager to do the work you love, believe in, and have the talent for. This work is more significant and sacred than yourself, and you cannot wait to dive into it.
Embrace every surprise life offers with a smile. Life is a beautiful word; gain and loss are just states of mind, and joy is a mood. Life will never be perfectly smooth; only by being open-minded can it approach perfection, and only by letting go can one find happiness. Tolerance is the most beautiful quality of the soul and a profound spiritual awakening. By recognizing and seeing through the storms of life, one will find calmness and composure.
In this fast-paced era, the map of life is not always paved with smooth roads. If you only choose straight and flat paths, you may eventually find yourself with nowhere to go. Life is a winding and long journey, much like a curve; the bitterness and sweetness, the fullness and emptiness, are what make life real and meaningful.
Life is like music; it must be composed with hearing, emotion, and instinct, rather than relying on hearing alone.
Some people never have the chance to meet, only to hesitate when the opportunity arises; some things are never done, only to lose interest when the chance comes; some words are buried in the heart for a long time, only to become unutterable when the moment arrives; some loves are never given a chance, only to find that the feeling has faded when the opportunity finally comes.
A classic life is not measured by the height of one's power or the amount of one's wealth; it is measured by whether one can be happy every day, whether one can travel the world with ease, and whether one can live a life free of burdens.
Life itself is a process of tempering. Since we do not wish for our lives to be a blank slate, there is no need to reject the storms and trials. Grow through experience and become strong through pain; no one's path can avoid the weathering of time.
