Fate is a mysterious thing. Although everyone has their own ambitions, difficulties often arise when realizing ideals, sometimes leading one down a path contrary to their initial intent, yet resulting in sudden success. I think I am like that. — Konosuke Matsushita
Smoothness or hardship, in my view, is more a matter of mindset.

Foreknow three days, gain wealth for ten years.
Why does a man need to be wealthy? Why must he have horses, exquisite clothes, beautiful houses, and the right to visit public places and entertainment venues? Because of a lack of thought. If you give his soul a new image, he would escape to a lonely garden or an attic to enjoy it; such dreams make them so wealthy that even a province given to them would not compare. Ultimately, we realize we lack money because we lack thought. — Emerson
To a strong person, misfortune is like an iron plow tilling the soil of their inner land; though painful, it allows for sowing.
Those who are bound by trivial facts and dare not imagine lack creativity.

We have nothing; our only capital is youth. Dreams make me unique; struggle allows me to change my destiny!
Dreams are distant, yet within reach. No one knows what a dream might be. Dreams are ever-changing. A person without dreams is like a walking corpse; without dreams, one is like a soul without a body.
Simple and plain dreams; we support those dreams with our singular belief and perseverance.
Oh, how sublime are the ideals of youth, striving for truth, whether in life or death! Oh! Do not look back, do not lose heart. — Robert Bridges
Holding your hand, fingers interlaced, we will enjoy happiness together intensely.
If a sapling refuses pruning for fear of pain, it will never grow into a great tree.
A gentleman avoids misfortune through frugality, rather than seeking glory through stipends. — I Ching
