Human relationships are like rain: they fall and then dry up. Friends are like clouds: they gather and then disperse. Melancholy is like wine: you get drunk and then sober up. Loneliness is like a star: it flickers and then fades. Life is like a dream: you tire and then fall asleep. How far is life from death? In a breath. How far is confusion from enlightenment? In a thought. How far is love from hate? In impermanence. How far is ancient to present? In conversation. How far is you from me? In understanding.
Everyone has their own nature and way of living. You are unique in this world; as long as you stay true to yourself, life will be magnificent.
One should become middle-aged first and then gradually grow younger; in doing so, one will cherish time and not waste it on trivialities.
There are only two ways to solve a problem: either change the problem itself or change your attitude toward accepting it.
Being organized and conscientious are essential qualities for achieving great things, and extraordinary dedication is the reliable guarantee of success.
Keep your sharpness in your heart, gentleness on your face, talent in your actions, and righteousness in your dealings.
Honest people may not always be reliable, but reliable people are always honest.
In the flow of time, everyone will have profound memories of their lives. Life follows a linear sequence from beginning to end. When middle age arrives, it reminds us of the passing of time and evokes a sense of awe and reflection regarding the transience of life.
Growing up does not mean maturity, wealth does not mean prosperity, achievement does not equal success, and status does not mean nobility. Humanity, compassion, virtue, and character are the true measures of a person.
The only constant in the world is change. Life is not merely a series of multiple-choice questions, but a set of practical problems. Instead of listening to skeptics and pessimists, trust your intuition and stay focused on your goals and passions.
After experiencing the pain of heartbreak, learn to let go. Always believe there is a reason worth being happy.
There are no perfect angels in this world, only kind-hearted women.
Living simply is a form of enlightenment, and working steadily is a form of cultivation. Move like a stream—shallow and flowing; remain calm like a mountain. Lift your head in the storm, and humble your heart in glory. Live a calm and composed life.
