The primary goal of mathematics is to serve the public interest and explain natural phenomena.
Confucius said, "Flowery words often mask a lack of virtue. A lack of patience in small matters can ruin great plans."
"With a lofty goal to support, continuous work, even if slow, will eventually lead to success." — Albert Einstein
Always remain vigilant with strangers, especially those who appear overly enthusiastic and offer unsolicited help. In unfamiliar situations, pay close attention to the actions of those offering assistance to avoid harm.
A person with a strong sense of self does not let the attitudes of others dictate their own emotions. You may weigh and measure their actions, but you should never let them occupy your inner peace. As Obama demonstrated: you may regret your words, but you do not have to apologize blindly. If you simply agree with everything others say, you lose your own identity.
Happiness depends on one's inner state. Rousseau once asserted that humans are born twice: once to survive, and once to live. This means that beyond biological birth, a spiritual birth is essential. Tranquility is the meadow that nourishes the human soul and the necessary path to achieving a state of maturity and enlightenment.
Rather than longing for fish in a pond, it is better to return and weave a net. — Ban Gu
Zengzi said in the Analects, "A scholar should be resolute and steadfast, for his responsibility is heavy and the road is long. To take benevolence as one's mission—is that not heavy? To persevere until death—is that not long?"
For those who have hurt me, after the initial pain, I try to think: "They may have had their reasons." This understanding allows me to view things from different perspectives and see what others might miss. However, I am not a "pushover"; while I offer understanding, I also maintain my principles.
Victory is not just the time to realize your ambitions, but also the best opportunity to turn enemies into friends.
Choice itself is not the ultimate goal; success is. The key lies in what you do after making that choice and how you navigate the path toward it. Instead of spending excessive time on indecision, giving up, and restarting, devote your energy to steadfastly pursuing your goals. I hope the youth can establish firm objectives and walk their chosen paths with unwavering determination.
