An elegant life nurtures composure and tranquility. You may run ahead of time, but do not run ahead of your serene heart. Ultimately, the scenery of life is the scenery of the soul. If the heart becomes hasty, the spirit wanders, thoughts become chaotic, and the beauty fades; in such a state, no matter how far one travels, there is no true charm to speak of. The environment may be chaotic, but the mind must not be; tasks may be rushed, but the heart must not be hurried.
When walking, each step taken is akin to grounding destiny. We must strive to bring joy, peace, and serenity down to earth.
Do not be impatient when facing difficulties. Do not rush to conclusions, especially when angry; never make decisions in a fit of pique. Learn to think from others' perspectives, minimize major issues, and resolve minor ones. Handle complex matters simply, and avoid complicating simple things.
Loving or not loving, liking or disliking—are separated by just one character, yet represent a distance of a single thought.
People are often shaped by pressure. In a sense, everyone must 'eliminate' their once-colorful world to engage in the things they are compelled to do.
