I miss you in my own way; I accept that no one can stay forever; I see that beyond human selfishness and change, there is an inescapable loneliness; I acknowledge that everyone is an independent entity, a mere speck in the vast universe; I realize that the most precious things are often not by our side; and I believe that as we walk through layers of solitude, paths will eventually unfold before us.
Work should be like sailing at sea, aiming for high standards, high starting points, and high efficiency, like sails full of wind on a high mast. However, one must remain grounded; no matter how much success one achieves, one should not let arrogance take over, or they will lose their integrity and eventually sink into the ocean of worldly chaos. Be high-profile in your actions, but low-profile in your character. When riding high, one must remember to lower the sails; just as in a storm, one must cut down an overly tall mast to prevent the boat from capsizing due to a high center of gravity.
Facing the turbulent world again, one finds a sense of calm. To live the life one desires, one must have the courage to let go. There is no absolute justice in this world, and no perfect solution exists. No matter how many times you transcend yourself, realize your dreams, or acquire what you desire, you will never feel satisfied if you do not know how to be content.
In life, we often suddenly realize how much we have overlooked things once familiar. A friend once bought a bottle of aged vinegar and cried while drinking it on the street, simply because he missed the taste. Many things, no matter how close they once were, become strangers once they grow distant.
If you can identify your own flaws as accurately as you identify the flaws of others, your life will become extraordinary.
Only by walking the path do we realize its length. We are often too busy to feel life or enjoy happiness. We struggle and chase goals all our lives, and even if we please the entire world, we often end up neglecting our own souls. If we are never satisfied and refuse to let go, life becomes bitter. Be more open-minded, learn to let go, and remember that nothing in life is more important than happiness.
