Young women often long for a gentle man who provides warmth on rainy nights, while young men hope for a kind woman who serves tea during the chilly twilight. Yet, the ones who truly stay together are the man who roughly adds a coat and the woman who bickers while serving meals. Time isn't cruel; it simply chooses reality over beauty when the two are at odds.
There are times when we long for someone, wishing for a real embrace within our dreams. May you dream of that person. We should maintain a heart of beauty and appreciation. What one must master is not finding absolute security, but learning to accept the uncertainties of reality.
Conceal your strengths and overlook others' flaws; forget past grievances and remember past kindnesses; perceive hypocrisy without revealing it, and endure setbacks without complaining; bestow kindness without boasting and receive help without forgetting. If you wish to be understood, let others know you first; if you seek respect, respect others first.
Growth is never a smooth journey. No one is born knowing how to speak or walk; everyone grows through accumulation and tempering. Believe that paths are forged by walking, so never say you can't. In work, be brave enough to express your views—even if your speech is halting or your opinions are imperfect, what matters is the courage to stand up.
