A weak person who dares to accept honest advice can triumph in adversity, while a powerful person who believes they are invincible may fall from their peak in an instant.
Fish cannot muddy the ocean, fog cannot press down a mountain, thunder cannot shake a ridge, and a fan cannot disperse thick mist. No matter how long a deer's neck is, it will never be taller than its head; no matter how long a person's toes are, they will never exceed the length of the foot; and no matter how fast a person acts, it can never outpace their thoughts. Some people you look at for a lifetime yet ignore them forever; some you glance at once, yet they influence your entire life. Some are warmly happy for you yet are neglected by you; some grant you fleeting joy but leave a lasting chain of thoughts.
Nothing in the world can truly change you; what changes you are your own greed, obsession, suspicion, and jealousy. Life is a process of self-liberation, and no one can truly gift ease to another. The path of life is inherently winding; if you lose your way again, only a fall awaits you. Believe that from beginning to end, the only one we need to change is ourselves.
