A smile soaked in tears is the most radiant; a soul that has emerged from confusion is the most lucid.
Live simply, and we will happily complete our life journey.
To become mature, there are some answers that are always correct, such as reading more, pondering deeply, engaging with outstanding people, and then thinking and persisting. This is a timeless truth, yet the question remains: why are there so few people who truly achieve this? Of course, personality and environmental factors play a role, but many people are aware of these principles yet still fail to execute them. Why? Because many lack the intrinsic motivation to do so.
Life is not inherently tiring, but rather burdens us with too many grievances and weights. When the mind is not at peace, intentions become chaotic; when intentions are chaotic, the spirit becomes deluded. Clear water worries not, for it flows with nature; fallen leaves regret not, for their hearts are empty. Let go of all obsessions, and you may admire the moon at night and embrace the autumn breeze.
The benevolent are often schemed against by petty people; the wise are often excluded by mediocre people; the brave are often envied by foolish people; the honest are often struck down by greedy people. A little pressure makes you feel the sky is falling; a little unhappiness makes you feel you are the most pitiable person in the world... Your such fragility stems from having been spoiled in the past, with others supporting you and shielding you with their strength.
A knowing smile, a sincere handshake, a heartfelt conversation—these are things of immense joy. Often celebrate for yourself and learn to seek a joyful mood.
Cherish every piece of clothing, but part with it without hesitation when the time comes.
Life is like a book; birth is the cover, departure is the back cover, and it is up to you to fill in the content.
Gauge your virtue and measure your strength; establish yourself with ambition.
