该句使用并列结构强调先后顺序，通过“before”连接两个被动语态，突显了主观心态对客观结果的前置影响。
In this world, there are only emotions that cannot be overcome, but no matters that cannot be passed. A pessimist is defeated by themselves before being defeated by life; an optimist conquers themselves before conquering life.
One may lack a beautiful or charming appearance or a slender and outstanding figure, but the composure in every gesture and word, the ability to manage both domestic and social affairs, and the calm demeanor in dealing with others reveal true grace.
If you are right, try to let others agree with you gently and tactfully; if you are wrong, admit it swiftly and sincerely. This is far more effective and interesting than arguing for oneself.
Life requires reflection. By occasionally looking back, one can achieve spiritual sublimation through the tasting of gains and losses, sweetness and bitterness. Looking forward represents dreams and goals, while looking backward serves as inspection and correction. Without grief and without resentment, the heart remains tranquil.
It is not that imperfection is beautiful, but that perfection has never existed in this world. Beauty and ugliness, right and wrong, black and white, heat and cold, high and low, strength and weakness, big and small, many and few, long and short, fast and slow, wealth and poverty, and honor and disgrace—all are dialectically unified and mutually transforming. In the process of gaining, one is also losing. Gain occurs here and now, while loss occurs there and then, making it imperceptible to many. What we call sages or wise men are simply those who are adept at measuring pros and cons, weighing gains and losses, and grasping the balance of acquisition and letting go.
世间只有过不了的心情，没有过不了的事情。悲观的人，先被自己打败，然后才被生活打败；乐观的人，先战胜自己，然后才战胜生活！

如果你是对的，就要试着温和地、有技巧地让对方同意你；如果你错了，就要迅速而热诚地承认。这要比为自己争辩有效和有趣得多。
人生需要反思，常回头看看，才能在品味得失与甘苦中升华。向前看是梦想与目标，向后看是检验与修正。不哀，不怨，心坦然。
不是残缺为美，是因为这个世界从来就不存在完美。丑、对错、黑白、冷热、高低、强弱、大小、多少、长短、快慢、穷富、荣辱，无一不是辩证统一、相互转换。在得到的同时也在失去。是得在此时此处，失在彼时彼处，故而不为人所察觉。谓高人、智者，不过善于度量利弊、权衡得失、把握取合罢了。
