A kingfisher in a Zen temple sought a safer place and built its nest on an unreachable seaside rock, only to be swept away by the waves days later. The Zen Master said: "If you hold enmity in your heart, you will find enemies everywhere."
Finding work that utilizes your strengths is the key to achievement. It is unwise to compete for unsuitable positions out of vanity or other motives; one should approach work with a calm mind.
Miss someone in your own way; Accept that no one can accompany you forever; see through the essence of humanity—beyond selfishness and change, there is an inescapable loneliness; acknowledge that everyone is an independent entity, a mere speck in the vast universe; realize that the most precious things are not always by our side; believe that as you walk through layers of solitude, paths will unfold before you.
We often have expectations for good friends, believing they will stay forever. However, as paths and circumstances diverge, even if we remain in contact, we can never return to the best of times. Losing someone is painful, and the memories often linger. We tell ourselves not to be too emotionally invested to avoid hurt, but is that truly possible?
Do not dwell on a friend's flaws, reveal their secrets, or hold their mistakes against them. Those who flatter you with sweetness are not true friends; those who offer honest advice are. True friendship does not demand anything in return, but rather seeks to do everything possible for the other. True friendship is rare, and equal friendship is even harder to find.
本在禅寺的翠鸟想求得更安全的地方，便在无人能攀的临海岩石上筑巢，几天后被浪涛卷走。禅师云：因心中有敌，便处处是敌。
找到一个可以发挥特长的工作是取得成就的关键。若为了虚荣或其他不良念头而去竞争不适合自己的职位，是极不明智的选择，应当心平气和地对待工作。
用自己的方式去思念，接受没有人能陪伴到永远；看透人性的本质，除却自私与变迁，还有挥之不去、躲不过的孤独；承认每个人都是独立的生命个体，是浩淼宇宙中的一粟；明白最珍贵的往往不在身边；相信从层层孤独中走来，道路终会在眼前展开。
人对好朋友总是有期待，以为能相伴一生。然而随着道路与际遇的不同，即便不再往来，也回不去最好的时候。失去时是如此难过，甚至会一直惦念。虽说不要轻易对人付出感情以免受伤害，但这真的能做到吗？
不追究朋友的缺陷，不泄露朋友的秘密，不记着朋友的过错。用甜言蜜语诱惑你的不是好朋友，忠言劝谏你的才是。真朋友并不为友谊而相互索求，而是尽力为对方做力所能及的事。世上友谊本罕见，平等的友情更难求。
