In life, we need moments to slow down and find peace, to listen to the sound of flowers blooming and observe the delicate unfolding of leaves. Remind yourself: life is truly beautiful.
I wish I could lie on a sunflower; even if I am frustrated, I can still face the sunlight. I know that most things in life do not go as planned. I will feel sad, I may pause my progress, and there are times of despair. Yet, a ray of sunlight always remains in my heart, for I am lying on a sunflower. True strength is not about not shedding tears, but about running forward while crying. As long as belief remains, hope will surely exist. After all, life is lived by spirit.
Remaining indifferent is perhaps the best form of revenge. Why prove anything to people who are not worth it? Living better is for yourself.
Sometimes, I suddenly want to cry, yet the sadness prevents me from doing so. Sometimes, in the quiet of the night, I realize I am not unable to sleep, but stubbornly unwilling to do so. Sometimes, passing a familiar street corner and seeing a familiar silhouette, I suddenly recall a person's face. Sometimes, though there are many words in my heart, I don't know how to express them. Sometimes, I want to let go and give myself a break, hoping to scream and unleash my emotions thoroughly.
If you surpass others by a little, they will envy you; if you surpass them by a great margin, they will admire you.
To live the life you desire, you must bravely give up certain things. The world is not always fair, and you will never achieve a perfect balance. If you want freedom, you must sacrifice security. If you want leisure, you cannot achieve the success defined by others' evaluations. If you want joy, you need not worry about how those around you treat you. If you want to move forward, you must leave where you are currently staying.
Your current position does not matter as much as the direction in which you are moving.
There are only two kinds of people in the world. Take a bunch of grapes, for example: one kind of person picks the best ones to eat first, while the other saves the best for last. Conventionally, the first type should be optimistic, because each grape they eat is the best among the remaining ones; the second type should be pessimistic, because each grape they eat is the worst among the remaining ones. However, in reality, it is the opposite. The reason is that the second type still has hope, while the first type only has memories. — Qian Zhongshu
True satisfaction comes from your inner self, not from external people or objects.
It is raining in the city, and I am thinking of you.
