28. Life is like a tug-of-war contest; the outcome is destined from the moment of birth, where victory is the only option besides defeat. 29. An ocean without storms is not a true ocean, and a life without adversity is not a true life. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are inherently intertwined. How can one appreciate joy and happiness if life lacks the backdrop of sadness and misfortune? 30. Life is akin to an exam, where history serves as the ultimate grader. 31. The building of life must be constructed through action, not depicted with beautiful words. 32. The path of life is tortuous and fluctuating. Anyone who imagines it to be flat and straight is the biggest fool under the sun. 33. Life should be like a flame in winter; it only holds meaning when it burns. 34. Interaction through "rites" focuses on exchanging emotions and conveying blessings, as the saying goes, "A goose feather sent from a thousand miles away is light in gift but heavy in sentiment." 35. Learning and thinking are like the two wings of an airplane; they are complementary, and neither can be dispensed with. Reading alone is not enough; one must also seek advice from others and think critically to attain true knowledge. Conversely, learning without asking questions or thinking will inevitably fail to yield genuine competence.
