Poverty is nothing to be ashamed of. It is neither a glory nor a disgrace, but simply a relative state of life. If viewed as an ugly cloak, it will obscure the light of the soul. If you cannot break free from the shackles of the mind, you will never discover the beauty of life. Everyone has their own path; there is no need for debate.
The mind is the key to everything. An ordinary mind can create an extraordinary person and add endless brilliance to an ordinary life.
Youth is a long journey. We never know where the road ends or what lies ahead. It is an unknown path, filled with both bitterness and joy—bitterness as dark as ink, and joy as refreshing as a cold drink when thirsty. Along the way, there are beautiful landscapes and companions; through wind and rain, we experience reunions and partings. In youth, we possess strong bodies, vibrant spirits, and graceful presence before the world.
You will never know how strong you truly are until being strong is your only choice.
