When faced with multiple choices, people often feel conflicted; yet sometimes, having no choice leads to success. This indicates that while opportunities are important, the ability to maximize one's potential is even more critical. A right choice is not about calculating immediate gains and losses, but about weighing long-term pros and cons. If a choice facilitates personal growth and development, even if temporary losses exceed gains, it remains the correct decision. Those who focus solely on short-term interests rarely achieve greatness.
Whether one strives for perfect precision or seeks to cultivate a sensitive heart, life does not require overly complex thoughts; instead, one should maintain a sense of detachment and equanimity. If mistakes are made, there is no need for excessive regret or blame, for no one is perfect. If you fall, simply stand up and try again. Without enduring storms, how can one see a rainbow? Every experience is a precious asset.
Do not wear your sorrow on your face, and do not keep indifference on your lips. Life is short; let passion be the main melody of your existence.
With the desire, determination, and perseverance to create wealth, anyone can become a master of prosperity.
Chekhov once said, "Money is not happiness; a person can be happy even in poverty."
Pursuing interests does not merely mean chasing wealth and status, but includes seeking anything that benefits oneself. However, when profit becomes the sole motive and the ultimate rule, it can corrupt both the human heart and society. Hoarding merchants, counterfeiters, and speculators seeking overnight riches are all manifestations of greed corrupting society. Since greed stems from a primal urge for possession, it often leads to violating the morals of humanity and society.
The more desires one has, the more suffering one encounters. If human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, one will find themselves in an unbearable struggle. Attempting to possess everything may result in getting nothing, leaving one trapped in a life of constant struggle and intrigue. Such a life is far too exhausting.
Only by being kind to others and overcoming suspicion and defensiveness can one gain sincerity and affirmation from others.
If you are simple, the world will be simple to you.
