The art of governance: speak correctly in busyness, recognize the right people in chaos, and choose the right path in complexity.
When the mind is small, trivial matters become huge; when the mind is large, great matters become small. Facing major challenges, one shows responsibility; Facing adversity and prosperity, one shows breadth of mind; facing emotions, one shows composure; facing gains and losses, one shows wisdom; facing success and failure, one shows perseverance. Let things take their natural course, remain calm in the face of adversity, stay composed during success, and stay peaceful during failure. Hardships are inevitable, and wisdom comes with experience. Drink tea in tranquility and keep your mouth shut to gossip.
"Don't demand excessively while eating, and don't fret too much while sleeping"—this is the key to a peaceful and happy life.
Do not overthink; let nature take its course, for what is meant for you will eventually come. There is no need to suppress yourself or resort to flattery; maintaining your integrity will earn you more opportunities and respect. Do not be overly kind or overly unkind to anyone, and never allow yourself to be exploited by others.
Health is the hardware of life, while one's state of mind is the software.
The you who unshackled my ankles, humming a strange dialect, walking through the palace.
To live in this world is to inevitably endure many grievances.
If you can achieve this, you may call yourself the master of your own destiny.
No one's success is ever a mere accident.
There is always someone who lives in the heart, yet has departed from life.
If an enemy can make you angry, it means you lack the certainty of defeating them.
Things that are too beautiful are often hard to experience; once lost, they are impossible to forget.
