Just as fingers vary in length, knowledge has its highs and lows.

Only by loving yourself can you truly embrace life. Blind arrogance is a sign of ignorance, while constant self-deprecation stems from pessimism. Understanding oneself is harder than understanding others, and loving oneself is more difficult than loving others. With a healthy sense of self-esteem, one can remain resilient in the face of setbacks. Do not lose yourself to external temptations, and do not deny your worth due to temporary failures. Evaluate yourself objectively and learn to praise yourself with optimism.
Life is so short; giving up today does not mean you cannot achieve something tomorrow.

When you think you are incapable, remember that there are many things you can actually achieve; you simply haven't taken action yet.
A sword is sharpened by grinding, and plum blossoms bloom through the bitter cold. If you are a sword, life is your whetstone, and you must undergo tempering; if you are a plum blossom, you must endure the winter. I wish you to be as enchanting as a plum blossom and as invincible as a sword.
