When your mistakes are exposed, do not lose your temper. Do not assume that acting capriciously or making a scene can hide or overcome your shortcomings.
Life has two essential cups of water to drink: one bitter, one sweet. No one can avoid them. The difference lies in the order: those who succeed often drink the bitter water first, then the sweet; while the general public usually drinks the sweet first, then the bitter. In the pursuit of success, perseverance is crucial. When facing setbacks, tell yourself: persist, try once more.
If you don't know where to go next, do the tasks at hand well. If you don't know the truth, don't participate in discussions. If you don't understand respect, don't demand admiration. If you love traveling, take the brave step. If you wish to learn, lower your posture.
For those who have forgotten everything, straw becomes a huge ship. For those at a dead end, shadows become mirages.
Time is like a small river; once it flows past, it never returns. What I did in this second is my choice; what happened in the next second is unknown to all but me at that moment. If you feel time is not precious now, you will realize its value when you grow old.
To seize opportunities, you must overcome the mindset of being content with the status quo and clinging to old habits. Shake off inertia, break traditional habits and arrogant tendencies. Pay attention to events around you at all times and stay ready, for opportunities can arrive at any moment.
Human desires should be cut out from their initial rise. Like cutting fresh grass, the effort is easy. But if you enjoy the convenience and merely taste it with a finger, you will sink ten thousand fathoms deep.
The few falling green leaves and red petals on the steps, when gathered, are nothing but poetic material.
Success is valued for its duration; career is valued for its specialization.
Life is destined to have regrets, and past time cannot be retrieved. Not everything goes as you wish. Those unchangeable outcomes are unrecoverable. All entanglement and pain are merely internal emotional consumption, futile and useless. It is better to choose to let go calmly.
