Dear self, you have just started to pull yourself together, so please do not sink into depression again. Nothing is worth your sadness; please choose to be happy. In this life, there will always be dreams we cannot fulfill and goals we cannot reach. "How can everything go as one wishes? One only seeks a clear conscience." Perhaps all the waiting is for that moment when the dust finally settles; through the endless dawn and dusk, those fragmented moments have been polished into wind chimes, singing softly on the threshold of my soul.
Since the goal is a distant horizon, one should possess more calmness and composure. The bountiful fruits of the earth depend on the hard sowing in spring; the flowing blood of the ocean relies on the tireless surging of the streams.
The most difficult thing in life is to find the perfect balance. No one knows what will happen if you take a step forward or a step back; let us simply aim for that sense of "just right." Make "perfection in timing" a goal in your life.
If you aspire to success, remember this: inheritance is zero, honesty comes first, learning second, politeness third, diligence fourth, and shrewdness fifth. A complete life should possess three senses: a sense of mission, a sense of loss, and a sense of crisis.
I urge men not to let tears fall for too long. Once you have cried your heart out, stand up again—that is what it means to be a man.
