When the weather is cold, eat ginseng and deer antler; when the ground freezes, drink tonic soups. Winter tonics work for nine out of ten people, while summer tonics are often wasted. If you build your strength this year, you can tackle any challenge next year! There is only one true benefit and one true happiness in life: fully developing your potential. Focus on acquiring the mindset and confidence to navigate the world, rather than limiting yourself to confusion over what is possible or impossible.
