We may sometimes go against our nature to please others and society, but ultimately, one must live in accordance with their true self. To find happiness, you must understand your own nature to avoid pursuing things beyond your capacity. One of life's most crucial tasks is to avoid environments that conflict with one's innate talents; otherwise, internal conflict will turn life into a prolonged tragedy. A withered form and dull color can blossom into beauty and release a delicate fragrance with the infusion of water, leaving a lasting impression as it rests beneath the clear green waters. If you truly care and truly desire something, you will achieve it. Nothing is as difficult as it seems, yet maintaining consistency every single minute is the real challenge. Fate is not determined by grand opportunities, but by the tiny choices made in every passing moment. Life requires a touch of everything: be humble, polite, and indifferent in conduct; be calm, charitable, and steady in character; be sincere, magnanimous, and enthusiastic in friendship; be moderate, balanced, and light in diet; be knowledgeable, honest, and responsible in work; be low-profile, restrained, and grateful in success; be patient, open-minded, and perceptive in adversity; and be carefree, simple, and optimistic in life. No one is indispensable; being unable to live without someone now does not mean you never will. There is nothing you cannot let go of; it is just that if you don't give up, you might find that what you hold onto gives up on you first.
