Some changes need not be spoken aloud; others will see them clearly. If one day, what once moved you no longer stirs your heart, and what once made you sad no longer brings tears, you will understand what time and life have given you, and what you have paid for in order to grow. Walking alone on a desolate path, emotions are dyed in the cold night, yet no comfort is found. It is only because the vows of the past were too beautiful, turning longing into an ailment.
Walking the roads of the past, the scenes of life-and-death separations, the vows carved in lies, and the chaotic coldness of the world remain vivid. One wishes to act as if it does not matter, to quietly bury all the sorrow, but that burning pain chews on bitterness and eventually becomes an eternal scar, where the lost warmth can never be recovered. As the splendor fades, the heart is sealed and resentment locked away. Bare-handed, the soul wanders the nine heavens, the spirit scatters across a thousand miles, laughing bitterly at the mortal world, sighing over how many sad events remain, and how many melancholy poems fall into dreams.
In each person’s heart lies a sad story, which, in the eyes of others, portrays just how happy you are.
No success is innate. The fundamental reason for success is the development of the boundless potential of human beings. Every person possesses considerable potential. As Edison once said, “If we did all the things we know we can do, we would undoubtedly be greatly surprised by ourselves.”
There are three traps in life: carelessness, gullibility, and greed.
