The trouble in the human heart lies in contention; the suffering in life lies in attachment; and The difficulty in life lies in letting go. In life, what you dwell on will trouble you, and what you care too much about will torment you. Even when facing immense challenges, if you approach them with a mindset of letting things take their natural course, you will realize they are not as significant as they seem—it is merely your own complicated thoughts. Life is like the wind; everything, whether complex or simple, will eventually pass.
Value stillness of mind, moderation of desire, agility of thought, diligence in learning, sincerity in friendship, devotion in emotion, determination in poverty, benevolence in wealth, brevity in speech, moderation in joy, endurance in anger, and health in body!
There are two types of happy people: those who truly understand life and view the world with appreciation and tolerance, and those who love life so much that they know nothing of worry, living perpetually in happiness!
Those walking envy those on bicycles, and those on bicycles envy those in cars. Is it really so? Not necessarily. Humans are strange creatures who often long for what they do not have while overlooking what they should cherish most. Once acquired, that initial sense of "obviousness" often vanishes. What is truly precious is what you possess right now, not the illusions of what you think you should have.
A genius, filled with wisdom, approaches the threshold of life with thoughts that spread their wings, caressing poetry with their gaze and nurturing it with their eyes. Yet, upon encountering the hard obstacles of reality, this poetic egg shatters. For most people, as reality sets in, they inadvertently crush the mysterious egg that was never meant to hatch.
