Life is short, so one must seize the moment. Human knowledge is extremely limited, and the unknown is as deep and inscrutable as the ocean.
Life is a book; its cover design, preface, table of contents, content, afterword, and even its layout and editing, should all be completed by oneself.

"Dan" is the counterpart to "Li". If the "degree" between them is not mastered, friendship will perish. The friendship of a gentleman is distant in distance but close in spirit; the friendship of a petty person is close in physical proximity but separated by hearts. A gentleman says what needs to be said and does what ought to be done; a petty person says what the friend wants to hear and does what they themselves want to do.
