Slowly, you will realize: only play what you can afford to play. Never attempt what you cannot, or you may lose everything.
Where there is hope, even pain is sweet; where there is an ideal, even hell can become paradise. Hope is the greatest driving force in life; with hope for tomorrow, today's suffering becomes our greatest joy.
Many things are predestined, which is "fate"; but how you face them is up to you, which is "destiny." Instead of asking what others have done for you, ask what you can do for others.
The greatest enemy is oneself, the greatest failure is conceit, the greatest ignorance is self-deception, the greatest sorrow is self-abandonment, the greatest bankruptcy is despair, the greatest solace is devotion, and the greatest wealth is health.
When a cup is full, even the finest tea must be finished before it can be refilled. When the mind is full, one becomes arrogant and self-centered. Constantly remind yourself whether it is time to empty your "inventory." Only with an empty cup can one start anew. What Buddhism calls "letting go" and what economists call "forgetting sunk costs" are both contained within this empty cup.
When facing setbacks, always find someone to talk to. Relaxation is better than suppression; a healthy psyche is a powerful weapon for facing future challenges.
In reality, many things have a predetermined outcome. Do not worry too much about whether the result is good or bad, but rather learn to enjoy the process. Learn to forget and relax when things pass by. Laugh loudly when happy, and cry freely when sad; occasionally look up at the sky—the sun is bright and the sky is blue. Believe that time can change everything.
