The sky may be high, but it is still within sight; the ocean may be vast, but it has its boundaries; the desert may be wide, but it still holds an oasis. After flowers fall comes harvest, and after long separation comes reunion. May you be happy every day.
I like a phrase called "stripped of worldly glamour." It reflects a state of mind rather than literal cleansing. It is about gradually understanding, letting go, and finding peace after experience. What once mattered fades like smoke, and upon meeting again, one can smile without resentment.
Pursuing fame and fortune is not as important as maintaining a good mood. Life does not need excessive attachment to external success. Calmness like clouds and steadiness like stone help one escape inner turmoil. Life moves forward and backward; rather than worrying, it is better to smile. Suffering and joy are both natural parts of life, and the wisdom lies in finding joy within hardship.
Life does not need perfection. Goals exist to make life fuller. As long as you have tried, there is no regret. Life circumstances cannot always be changed, but one’s mindset can be adjusted. Whether living in a high-rise or not does not define happiness; what matters is one’s perspective.
Do not seek great wealth or status, but simple security in life. Do not seek luxury, but simple meals. Do not seek high office, but meaningful contribution. Do not seek fame, but personal fulfillment. Do not seek perfection, but peace of mind. Do not seek results, but enjoyment of the process. Do not seek crowds of admiration, but true companions. Do not seek long life, but health and happiness.
