Life is about oneself, and days should be lived on one's own terms. The opinions of others do not matter; what truly matters is the mindset you adopt to experience life. Happiness and joy are internal feelings and have nothing to do with others. If the gossip or unintentional slurs of others can disturb your peace, it means your heart is not yet broad enough and your self-cultivation requires further effort.
Show compassion and provide relief to orphans, widows, and those in dire need.
Speak slowly in urgent matters, clearly in important matters, and humorously in trivial ones. Be cautious with things you are unsure of, do not make empty promises for things you cannot achieve, and avoid saying things that cause harm. Share joy only at appropriate times, avoid broadcasting your sorrows to everyone, keep the affairs of others private, and let your own matters be governed by your heart. For the present, take action first.
Never long for what you have never possessed, for if you never possessed it, you would never miss it... but I once had you, how can I not miss you?
The difference between life and death is but a single step, but if you choose the wrong path, there is no turning back.
