Time may not prove everything, but it certainly sees through everything. Love is simple: even if someone makes you cry or disappoint you, you still find yourself reaching for their hand. A fulfilling life has both joy and sorrow; a reasonable life has success and failure; a fair life has gains and losses. Life's value lies in its ups and downs. To achieve, one must endure; to find light, one must accept darkness; to pursue a calling, one must sacrifice. Any extraordinary feat involves extraordinary hardship; only those who remain calm in the vortex can reach the far shore.

If others refuse to forgive you, forgive yourself.

时间或许不能证明一切，但定能洞察一切。爱一个人其实很简单：哪怕他让你流泪、让你失望，你仍会不由自主地走过去牵起他的手。充实的人生有苦有乐，合理的人生有成有败，公平的人生有得有失。人生因坎坷而有价值。在胜负与得失间，唯有勇于承担、接受黑暗、付出热忱，并能在旋涡中保持淡定从容的人，才能走向远方。
平淡是生活的底色，精彩是人生的点缀。我们无法回避平凡，也无需沉溺幻想。不要试图用错误掩盖错误，也不要困守于过去的正确。只有学会放下过去的自己，才能享受今天的快乐。如果别人不原谅你，你可以选择原谅自己。
