把名利看得如水般轻淡

原文英文

To see through things is to transcend and perfect oneself; it can benefit a nation, a family, or oneself. Treat fame and fortune as light as water, but view your career as heavy as a mountain. True life value is not measured by how much fame or wealth one possesses, but by what one has done and whether one possesses sufficient confidence and integrity. Reflect deeply on your lessons and actively learn from them, to bring more joy and happiness to your life and fewer failures.

How far we can walk depends not on our feet but on our ambition; high-flying birds aim for the heavens, while small birds settle for the eaves. How high we can climb depends not on our bodies but on our will; the strong grow braver through setbacks, while the weak succumb to defeat. What we can achieve depends not on our hands but on our wisdom; diligence tempers character, and thought creates the future. How far we can see depends not on our eyes but on our breadth of mind; if you can embrace the world, the world will embrace you.

As the noisy era fades like the wind, a heart tempered by life becomes calm and soft, sowing seeds of warmth and fostering a peaceful state of mind. No longer chasing fleeting prosperity, we realize that time is an unsentimental sword that consumes all things; even the finest flowers will eventually scatter, and even the grandest scenes will one day dim. Only the tranquil years, accompanying our simple lives, allow us to gaze at the flowing stream, listen to birdsong and smell flowers, and walk together to the end of life.
