Due to subjective and objective limitations, what one "wants to do" and "should do" may not always be achievable. In such times, to make a tangible contribution to society through the value of one's life, one must focus on what is "possible to do." Life should be a matter of addition and subtraction: increase knowledge, friendship, kindness, confidence, magnanimity, and momentum; decrease worries, resentment, discouragement, loss of trust, jealousy, and the consumption of tobacco or alcohol.
For those who praise everything, say little; for those who condemn everything, believe little; for those who are indifferent to everything, believe firmly not; for the exceptional, trust without dependency; for the ordinary, trust with dependency; and for the despicable, neither dependency nor trust. All good things must come to an end; the ultimate destination of life is death. The moment of eternal sleep is like the conclusion of a grand ball. The people encountered and the stories told in that ball will eventually vanish like smoke as the soul departs.
No matter when, where, or what one is doing, it is essential to maintain a correct direction to avoid detours and mistakes. Without a sense of direction, one will drift further from their goals and eventually reach a dead end.
