While the methods used by the Japanese may not always be honorable, their spirit of striving by all means to master advanced technology is truly worth learning and emulating. We earn love by helping others, charm through gentleness, trust through kindness, and respect through virtue. Dwelling on fruitless matters only leads to exhaustion, and things that do not belong to you, no matter how wonderful, are nothing more than objects of envy. When others treat you with coldness, you should be grateful, as it may empower you to truly learn to let go. Anything that can be stolen is essentially worthless. If people speak ill of you behind your back, it is because you are walking ahead of them. In many ways, we are our own greatest problem. The source of all suffering is rooted deeply within our own hearts. If we choose to view the world through the lens of problems, everything in the outside world will appear problematic.
