In dining situations, taking the initiative to order food is a considerate gesture, though this is not typically the role of the host or the guest of honor. It is important to inquire about others' preferences rather than ordering only what one personally enjoys, which requires familiarizing oneself with the menu and accumulating relevant experience. Once the food is served, respect the host's arrangement and do not seat yourself prematurely.
“Life is the constant process of shedding what is destined to die within oneself.” Life is, in essence, a journey of self-conquest. Yesterday's self challenges today's self, and today's self will in turn challenge tomorrow's self, continuously “shedding what is dying within.” The meaning of life lies in elevating oneself from mediocrity and animalistic instincts, achieving constant self-transcendence and renewal. Life is like climbing a mountain, stepping upward step by step; every step must be taken solidly, establishing oneself firmly at a high position, stable as a great pillar. Therefore, I boldly believe that the meaning of life is to live a “simple” life for the sake of some noble value.
What are you afraid of? If someone loves you, let them love. If flowers are given, express your gratitude. If you are invited, consider the offer. In this world, others being kind to you rarely hurts you; rather, it is your kindness to others that may backfire and cause pain. Therefore, accept love boldly but love others cautiously. Falling in love with someone is granting them the right to hurt you.
No one can become great or excellent without going through many hardships and twists and turns in life.
Just as a magnet attracts the iron filings around it, passion can attract the people around you and change the surrounding circumstances.
