With ambition, one can cross oceans; without it, one can hardly take a single step.
They seem somewhat out of place in this city. Even on holidays, there is no shortage of people rushing, struggling, and feeling anxious. The city does not lack passion, but it lacks a sense of leisure. Men in the city often dare not rest, fearing that any moment of relaxation might lead to being overtaken. Only a few, as if seeing through the arrangements of fate, seize the moments of idleness to enjoy the present joy.
The pain and pleasure of life are like two sides of a coin. Loss is pain, and hope is pleasure; the experience is pain, but the reminiscence is pleasure. Today's hardship may become tomorrow's joy. Neither is eternal; they often exist only in a fleeting moment of the mind. Therefore, do not be ecstatic in gain, nor be devastated by loss.
If you do not wish to pursue grand things or are not suited for them, focus on cultivating your current position. The philosophy of financial management and investment should remain a constant in your life. Over time, you will find that through ordinary work and careful financial planning, you can also create your own world. No matter your circumstances, remember to enjoy life moderately and not lose yourself to temporary pleasures.
Responsibility is the backbone of a man, the pillar that keeps him standing tall. What is promised must be done, and what is undertaken must be carried. Maturity is not measured by age, but by the weight of the responsibility one can bear. The more excellent a man is, the greater his responsibility and the wider his scope. Even if one cannot become a great man, one should at least be a responsible man.
Keep a sense of composure for yourself, so you can face setbacks calmly and accept gains and losses naturally. Understand that not all opportunities are meant for you; everything in life involves gain and loss, success and failure. Life's boat naturally drifts between the two.
