But dreams remain graceful, like the setting sun reflecting on the water.
Be a person of integrity, and do not fear poverty.
Always look on the bright side, no matter how many hardships life throws your way.
The passage of time often brings a sense of heartache. Standing on the path of youth, watching my once blurred silhouettes recede into the past, and gazing toward an uncertain future, I feel lost. How has time passed so quickly? A year slips through my fingers; we grow, but what is the true essence of that growth?
Looking back, life is a process of constant loss. From driving to cycling, from cycling to walking, from walking to using a cane, from using a cane to losing legs, and eventually, facing the loss of life itself... You might laugh at my pessimism, but only through such comparisons can we temper our excessive desires. In this lifetime, whether one lives as an emperor or a beggar, everyone ultimately returns to the dust.
