One should know one's place, just as one knows one's own face; this is the clearest form of self-awareness. Stripping away vanities is more beautiful than casual embellishments. Therefore, focus on what you can do and do it to the best of your ability—this is the essence of being human. What I regret most is not what I did, but what I failed to do. What matters most in our lives? For instance, when someone performs a good deed, others might weigh whether it was worthwhile or if there is any reward. Wise judgment comes from experience, and experience often stems from misjudgments. Among the easiest things in life, procrastination requires the least effort.
