Sometimes, people apologize with words only because they are unprepared to apologize with actions. It is not the rapid change of mind that is frightening, but the constant vacillation. Knowledge is like food that makes a seeker hungrier the more they consume it. It is not life that determines taste, but taste that determines life. I hide in the corner as you pass by, pretending that you are the one who missed me. I am not a fortune teller on a bridge, capable of telling you all the things you want to hear. Learn to relax—you don't have as many spectators as you think; don't exhaust yourself.
In those long-ago years, we met at the right time and recognized each other's pure faces. Your tall stature and sun-like smile once touched my trembling soul. The bus station of those years imprinted our figures and memories. I eventually realized how simplistic my view of people was; I never thought about the face behind the mask; I always treated the mask as the face, forgetting that beneath a smiling mask, there is often a face in tears.
Do not fear grand dreams; only fear the lack of them. Even if people mock your unreachable dreams, do not mind; at least you have dreams to compare them to. Through persistence and hard work, your dreams may come true. Dreams are the stage of life, but often they are locked in the empty buildings of environment and time. Only by persisting as a joyful clown, fighting time with all our might and patience, can we finally laugh at life in victory.
Do not become complacent due to luck, nor lose heart due to misfortune. A true strong person is adept at finding shadows in prosperity and light in adversity, constantly recalibrating their path forward.
