The greatest misfortune in life is the inability to face one's ignorance or accept constructive criticism. The essence of life lies in letting go of selfish desires. In the arduous journey of life, it is not hardships but self-interest that dulls one's spirit. Life is a long journey; as long as you do not fall, you must keep walking. Live boldly and passionately amidst the vast world. When reading, if your mind is not on the book, your eyes will not focus. If you read aimlessly without concentration, you will not be able to remember what you read, and even if you do, it will not last. In reading, the state of mind is most important. When the mind is present, the eyes will follow. Success does not happen overnight. Although superior family environments, excellent schools, and abundant resources can provide everything, without perseverance and willpower, becoming a great person is difficult. To imagine without practicing is as meaningless as admiring fish from the shore without ever weaving a net. The best way is to start from small things and the present, moving steadily toward your goals through practical effort. Everyone is born pure, but as we grow, our interests, habits, and environments shape us differently. As the saying goes, 'It takes a moment to fall into bad habits, but a year to build good ones.' A good habit like reading can be lost instantly to gaming, while a bad habit like smoking can take a long time to overcome.
