If you want to catch fish, you must get in the water.
With perseverance, you will eventually reach the peak; with cowardice, you will inevitably fall into the abyss.
Loving someone means understanding them as well as offering solutions. It means apologizing and saying thank you; admitting mistakes and correcting them; being considerate and understanding. It means accepting rather than enduring, being tolerant rather than indulgent, supporting rather than controlling, comforting rather than interrogating, opening up rather than accusing, cherishing memories rather than forgetting, and communicating rather than merely reporting. It is about praying for their well-being silently, rather than making endless demands. We should be romantic but not wasteful; we may hold hands, but never casually, and certainly never carelessly.

只要坚韧不拔，最终一定能登上山顶；反之，若怯弱退缩，必将跌入万丈深渊。
爱上一个人，意味着要深入了解也要给予开解；既要勇于道歉，也要学会道谢；既要承认错误，也要改正过失；既要体贴入微，也要彼此体谅。我们要的是接受而非忍受，是宽容而非纵容，是支持而非支配，是慰问而非质问，是坦诚倾诉而非互相控诉，是铭记美好而非轻易遗忘，是心灵的交流而非事无巨细的交代。真正的爱，是默默为对方祈祷，而非向对方提出无尽的要求。我们要保持浪漫，但绝不浪费；可以牵手，但绝不随便，更不可轻率。
