What matters is not how long you are remembered, but who remembers you and why.
Opportunity is a bird that never stops flying.
Friends may not share blood, but they share destiny; though they may be bitter medicine, they heal the heart; though they see through you, they still like you; though they are two bodies, they share one heart; though they seek nothing for themselves, they offer help in times of need; though life may not allow for constant physical support, their emotions remain deeply connected; though the rain has long since stopped, the umbrella remains held; though the scent of flowers has faded, the devotion remains.
Maggie Cheung once spoke about aging: "Asians tend to care too much about getting older. I grew up in the UK and lived in Paris for ten years; people there don't have this concept. Why must beauty mean being young and wrinkle-free? Being beautiful is not everything; it can be a waste of life. True beauty is when you add flavor, happiness, and other elements to make life complete."
If I could, I would travel with you forever. To an uninhabited island or a famous ancient city, capturing our smiles and the scenery along the way. We could share breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, watching sunrises and sunsets together. Even if the food is mediocre, having you wipe a smudge from my lips matters more. The scenery doesn't matter; what matters is growing old with you.
When we wake up in the morning, let's tell ourselves: "Today is the best day!" Whatever happened yesterday is in the past and unchangeable. Don't let yesterday's worries spoil today's mood! When starting your work, no matter how busy or stressful it is, don't complain. Don't let it affect your mood; just focus on living each day to the fullest.
I keep reaching out to you simply because I care. When people around you constantly flatter you, it can be hard to tell if it's manipulation, so don't let everyone into your heart. But the person who constantly thinks of you is the one who truly cares about you. Please cherish them!
Even if you have flaws, do not forget that you may have strengths in other areas. Winners rely on passion to work, willpower to overcome weaknesses, and effort to seize opportunities.
