使用了并列结构来表达节奏感与选择的重要性。
Life is not tiring by nature, but rather due to the excessive burdens and hardships we carry. When the mind is not still, thoughts become chaotic; when thoughts are chaotic, the spirit is lost. Clear water is carefree because it follows its nature; falling leaves have no regrets because their hearts are empty. Let go of all obsessions, and you can enjoy the moonlight at night and the cool breeze in autumn.
Gold always shines, but not everything that shines is gold.
The eight sufferings of life: birth, aging, sickness, death, unfulfilled desires, separation from loved ones, meeting with those disliked, and attachment to the five aggregates.
Since things are this way, why not take them more lightly? Why hold onto excessive obsessions? Persisting in what should be persisted in is a form of gain; learning to let go of what should be let go is a form of enlightenment. One must know when to advance and when to retreat. Don't dwell on things you cannot understand, lest you harm your health; don't take things too seriously once you have understood them, lest you hurt your feelings.
We should face life rationally—first resolve your mood, then resolve your matters. If we cannot be the masters of our mindset, we will eventually become slaves to our emotions. A good mood leads to a good state, allowing us to achieve more with less effort and live a more fulfilling life.
人生之所以疲累，是因为背负了太多的苦衷与负累。心不静，则意乱；意乱，则神迷。清水无忧，皆因随性；落叶无憾，皆因心空。放下所有执念，夜来赏月，秋来好临风。
是金子都会发光，但会发光的不一定都是金子。
人生八苦：生苦，老苦，病苦，死苦，求不得苦，爱别离苦，怨憎会苦，五取蕴苦。
既然如此，凡事为何不看淡一些；为何还要有过度的执念。坚持该坚持的是一种收获，放弃该放弃的更是一种领悟。做人，要知进退。想不通的事情，不要想，以免伤身；想通了的事情，别太较真，避免伤心。
既然如此，我们为何不理性地面对，先解决心情，才能更好地解决事情。如果我们做不了心态的主人，那最终将只能沦为情绪的奴隶。心情好，状态才会好，做事才能事半功倍，生活才会得心应手。
