You were once the most important passerby in my life, and the reason you are a passerby is that you never stayed for me. You once sowed seeds of joy in my life, but they never bloomed because they were never watered; you once left a scar in my life, but it failed to heal because there was no tender compassion; you once brought a momentary flash of light only to plunge me into total darkness, for you never thought to illuminate my path.
The reason for feeling mentally exhausted is hesitating between persistence and giving up; the reason for confusion is the habit of looking at things negatively and being unable to extricate oneself; the reason for unhappiness is not that we have too little, but that we crave too much; the reason for pain is having too good a memory, keeping both what should and should not be remembered. In short, human troubles stem from: being unable to let go, unable to think clearly, unable to see through things, and unable to forget.
Life is not as complex as it seems; it is just that we think too much and dwell too deeply, weaving a web for ourselves and then struggling within it. Love is not always as beautiful as it seems, yet we indulge in its romance; some things only become clear once we have experienced them—staying simple and realistic is the key to a lighter life.
The ease of earning money is relative, but the difficulty is absolute. A windfall from heaven might be poisonous; when you open your mouth to enjoy an unexpected feast, it might just be the final chapter of your life.

Learn to get things done amidst disputes, rather than letting disputes hinder your progress.
In this world, there are three types of speech: the first is public talk, which contains both truth and falsehood, suitable for public forums; the second is private talk, which is also a mix of truth and lies, often driven by emotion and quickly forgotten; the third is the talk in one's heart, which some may keep hidden for a lifetime.
Practice makes perfect, perfection leads to expertise, expertise leads to mastery, mastery leads to excellence, and excellence leads to greatness.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but about learning to dance in the rain.
