Sometimes, the most touching thing about a man is when he saves up for a long time just to buy his wife a long-desired gift. This is perhaps far more precious and meaningful than the luxury goods of the wealthy.
Our greatest enemy is ourselves; our greatest failure is arrogance; our greatest ignorance is self-deception; our greatest tragedy is self-abandonment; our greatest bankruptcy is despair; our greatest solace is dedication; and our greatest wealth is health.
In judging right from wrong, the amount of knowledge matters less than one's stance. When dealing with public matters, one should act for the common good; when dealing with private matters, one should balance self-interest with public interest. In relationships, try to see things from another's perspective to benefit both sides.
Success is not measured by money, but by how many people you have treated kindly and how many people remember you. A businessman's ledger tracks profit and loss, but a person's life ledger tracks love and being loved—that is true achievement.
The greatest luxury in this world is someone willing to spend time with you. Time is precious; by giving you their time, they are giving you a piece of their world. The essence of "love" is simple: someone who stays with you until the very end.
A mother says that if you admit your mistakes, she will hold your hand again; a lover says that sometimes admitting mistakes is the way to reconnect. Family tends to forgive because you are their child; lovers can be harder to please because we are all still children at heart.
If the elevator to success breaks down, take the stairs. As long as there is a staircase, you can reach your destination. The failure of the elevator doesn't matter; what matters is your persistent climbing.
When you have nothing left to lose, that is when you truly begin to gain.
When misfortunes arrive and life feels heavy like dark clouds, we must remind ourselves to embrace life as it comes and let things flow naturally.
When hurt, rise quickly from your sorrow. There is no need to dwell on emotional wounds or weep over pain. Instead, stand tall and keep moving forward on the path of life.
