In both conduct and dealings, one should not be overly greedy. Small favors, when accumulated, can become a profound void. If you accept a favor, always look for an opportunity to reciprocate; just as summer rain nurtures the earth, giving is a prerequisite for receiving. It is simply the relationship between a seed and its fruit. Do not let naivety mislead you; remember, life is like a play, essentially a game of balancing interests. Only through balance can one move forward.
Those who do more will not suffer loss, for ability is like muscle, gained through constant practice and exercise.
Facing difficulties is the perfect opportunity to showcase your talent.
In life, the worst attitudes are complacency, self-righteousness, and a lack of deep understanding. Only by maintaining a rigorous and meticulous attitude can one minimize errors.
Fortune comes from enduring loss, virtue from patience, wisdom from tolerance, and intelligence from diligence. Hardship is wealth, the end of suffering is sweetness, and charity is mercy. Releasing life is love, respect is humility, a pure mind is righteousness, responsibility is weight, lack of office is blessing, selflessness is immortality, and generosity is divinity. Selflessness is nobility, greed is evil, helping others is joy, and deceiving others is debt. Fairness is clarity, excessive desire is calamity, and integrity is kindness.
If everything seems displeasing, it might be more than just your eyes that are weary.
Not wanting to be mere passersby, we live life with intensity, only to realize that some things are beyond our control—some clouds cannot be cleared, and some fates cannot be changed. In the flow of time, we are all occasionally bumped by the seasons.
Human relationships are reciprocal: you may choose others, but they also have the right to choose you; when you test others, you must be prepared to be tested in return.
No one can take away the person you care about, unless they choose to leave.
If you are afraid to lose, the result will likely be defeat; but if you do not fear losing, victory becomes possible.
Sometimes, we create our own dust and then end up suffering from it.
People are constantly busy, yet this busyness often prevents them from achieving anything meaningful; in our rush, we often miss the most meaningful parts of life.
