Temperance is the virtue in prosperity, and fortitude is the virtue in adversity; both are essential tests for those striving for success and are the necessary paths toward achievement. Clouds may temporarily obscure the sun, but they cannot diminish its light; adversity may appear on the path, but it cannot block the arrival of success.
A career is the evergreen tree and the immortal monument of life. Those who leave a great legacy always create an enduring impact. Just as a seed must be buried to sprout and bear fruit, a life must undergo hardships to become full, rich, and mature.
A wise person reflects upon praise, while a foolish person argues against criticism.
There is growth in change, resilience in strength, responsibility in giving, well-being in happiness, forbearance in breadth of mind, joy in work, encouragement in concern, and harvest in letting go.
To achieve success, remember: honesty comes first, learning second, politeness third, diligence fourth, and shrewdness fifth. A complete life requires three essential senses: a sense of mission, a sense of loss, and a sense of crisis.
Kind words are more precious than jewels, while hurtful words are more damaging than swords.
Those who are blindly superstitious or excessively proud will ultimately achieve nothing. The right attitude is to believe without being deluded and to be proud without being arrogant. Walk your own path and always remain clear-headed.
