Birds appreciate beauty, not just in their feathers but in their melodious songs; fish appreciate beauty, not just in their scales but in their lively movements. Humans appreciate beauty, not just in their attire and dwellings, but in their character and virtue. Live happily, and do not let time be wasted in sighs over past traumas.
Everyone possesses unique talents. Therefore, we should strive to utilize these talents in all aspects of life. There are no straight paths in the mountains, yet it is the curves that provide grandeur and the ups and downs that create ripples, much like how a stream needs obstacles and unevenness to sing its song.
People crave opportunity, yet opportunity is often a fleeting moment. Whether one can seize it depends on the decision made in that very instant. The greatness of a great man lies in this: when others lose their reason in adversity, he remains determined to achieve his goals.
Your eyes are like the moon in the sky, one like the first quarter and the other like the full moon. A good man helps a woman understand the world, while a bad man makes her misunderstand it. Do not regret the past, do not waste the present, and face the future with full dreams. Time is like sifting sand; it washes away the superficial to leave only the essence. The things that make you sad today, you will one day speak of with a smile. The most romantic and selfish words are: "You are mine alone." And those who fear suffering are already suffering because of that fear.
To try is to be a bird soaring through the clouds amidst darkness; to try is to be a small boat sailing bravely through heavy waves. For the brave, trying is a new path to life; for the cowardly, it is an insurmountable wall. Does being together from birth to death define fate? No! From strangers to acquaintances, from reunions to partings, and from love to resentment—all are fate! The more one experiences the joys and sorrows of meeting and parting, the more entangled and painful the scars, the deeper the bond of fate truly is.
