Many factors can serve as favorable conditions for our success. As days pass, bonds deepen; though distance may separate us, our hearts remain connected.
Life is fleeting; decades pass in the blink of an eye. In these dreamlike years, we have much to do and many paths to walk. We encounter countless passersby, enact various stories, and experience innumerable joys and sorrows. Life is essentially a process of reunion and parting. Today, you are the cinnabar in my heart; tomorrow, you may be someone else's distant horizon. Everyone wishes to fulfill the vows made upon first meeting, yet time causes us to forget our promises and lose our perseverance.
Most mistakes and losses stem from a lack of effort, persistence, and the willingness to hold on, only to tell ourselves later that it was all fate. In reality, many things require continuous persistence in the face of effort, loneliness, ridicule, exhaustion, confusion, and pain. Perhaps the result of persistence may still be empty-handed, but the result of giving up will definitely be nothing at all. There is no secret to success, or if there is, there are only two: First, persist to the end and never give up. Second, when you want to quit, look back and follow the first rule again.
