We often cannot change how others see us; the only thing we can truly change is ourselves. A difficult life is not caused by others' sins, but by our own deteriorating mindset. The key to a better life lies within ourselves. By letting go of resentment and sighs, a beautiful life becomes attainable. Instead of waiting for others to improve our circumstances, we must take charge of our own lives.
欲成其大，首须志远，不为琐事所羁，不为蝇利所惑，不为暗局所迷，不较锱铢得失，不计当下成败，眼有大视野，胸怀大气魄；次须心高，不纠于情，不缠于人，能隐于市，可静于喧，控欲壑泛滥，防陋习滋生，神平气自和，心宁境自升；再须能舍，树高去繁枝，人立弃小我，放下什么，得到什么。
In our lives, approximately 90% of things are good, while only 10% are bad. If you seek happiness, focus your spirit on that 90%. If you seek worry and exhaustion, pour your energy into the 10% of bad things.
When a relationship ends, you might run away in tears, looking back to see if they are watching. But as you run, you eventually distance yourself—no longer crying, no longer looking back. You are running for yourself. Every heartbreak and every tear makes you stronger. When you become truly excellent, you will be worthy of an even better future.
我们常常无法改变他人的看法，唯一能改变的是我们自己。生活的糟糕不在于他人的过错，而在于我们心态的失衡。让生活变好的钥匙掌握在自己手中，学会放下怨恨与叹息，美好便会如期而至。与其寄希望于他人来改善生活，不如自己成为生活的主人。

生活中大约有90%的事情是美好的，而只有10%是糟糕的。若想获得快乐，就应专注于那90%的善意与美好；若想深陷忧虑与疲惫，便将精力耗费在剩下的10%琐事上。
当一段感情逝去，你或许会流泪奔跑，试图寻找留恋的痕迹。但跑着跑着，你会发现，你不再回头，不再流泪，你奔跑是为了自己。每一次心碎后的成长，都是在积攒变强大的力量。当你变得足够优秀，你才配得上更好的未来。
