Rather than seeing life as a journey, it is better viewed as an appreciation of scenery. Ups and downs are common, gains and losses are inevitable, and time flows ever forward; do not let your youth slip away. The troubles of life often stem from the limitations of one's own mind. Every moment—whether unpleasant, pleasant, gratifying, or awkward—is a turning point of destiny, or even a hint from fate. Cherish this life, for once missed, it is gone forever. A torch can light many other torches without losing its own flame. Happiness is like fire; you can continuously bestow happiness upon others without sacrificing your own. If there is no joy in your heart, even traveling to the ends of the earth will not find you a paradise; if your heart is content with joy, even in the most dire circumstances, you can remain at ease. Life is a passing through and also a transcendence; it is both an attainment and a letting go. Missing an opportunity is not a disaster, but also an opportunity. This missed chance is often for a better opportunity next time. Therefore, do not regret what you have missed, but become stronger so that you do not miss the next one. What is truly meant for you will never be missed. A man will never refuse someone who feels right, even if he is already in a relationship.
