British writer William Shakespeare once said: "True courage is the ability to endure the most humiliating indignities with wisdom, not being bothered by worldly honors or disgraces, and avoiding unnecessary calamities with an attitude of peacemaking." Facing a life full of pressure and difficulties, courage is indispensable.
A person's achievement is not measured by wealth, but by how many people you have treated kindly and how many people remember you throughout your life. A businessman's ledger records income and expenses, where the difference is profit; but A life's ledger records love and being loved, where the sum is achievement.
To love someone means to embrace both their virtues and their flaws. Love is not about seeking what you want from someone else, but about giving and sacrificing without expecting anything in return.
Human life is limited. If a person cannot decisively let go of things that do not deserve their energy, and instead craves everything while exhausting themselves everywhere and all the time, the result will only be disappointment. Therefore, life requires regular reflection and decluttering.
Does being a person require a sense of height? Laozi said, "The highest good is like water." The most virtuous person is like water. The nature of water is to flow to the lowest places and never seek the heights; to go upwards would be against its nature.
When hormones are high, love is a utopia, a metaphysical realm where moonlight, sunsets, and starlight make even a cloud of dust invisible. But when hormones recede, life becomes a terrestrial realm, grounded in the realities of daily existence.
You come from a previous station and move toward the next. Standing at a turn in the road, with a long past behind you and an uncertain future ahead, you might wonder: where have your former companions gone? Have the joyful and sorrowful days of the past drifted away? What will the unknown years ahead bring? Dear, do not be melancholy; you have lost nothing, you are merely experiencing a turn. The centrifugal force of a turn will naturally cause you to discard old things, so that you can be ready to embrace new things as you move forward. Life is full of turns, and each turn separates your previous station from the next. Thus, walk through every turn with composure, without sorrow, knowing only that the end is far and the road ahead is long.
Those who do not know how to make full use of time do not know how to live.
