Degeneration often stems from neglecting the process. The value of life lies not in how much one acquires, but in the pursuit of perfection and excellence in the process. Tempering is hard to bear and makes one's steps difficult, but it enables the strong to stand taller, walk more steadily, and generate stronger combat spirit. Those who dare to declare war on darkness must be filled with light in their hearts. Dreams are destined to be a lonely journey, with little room for doubt and ridicule along the way. But what of it? Even if covered in scars, one must charge forward bravely. Some things make you envious but remain out of reach; some missed opportunities leave you lingering with regrets for a lifetime. Tests are both discipline and growth. In the most real social trials, people grow the fastest and mature the quickest. I enjoy the warmth of time, yet I forgot to bloom in the flow of years. Knowing half the truth, even through one's own effort, is better than knowing the whole truth through imitation. There are millions of reasons for success, but if one's will is weak, all reasons are useless. Opportunity does not knock twice. Those who wait for the perfect moment will never succeed. I am not as strong as I imagine, yet I cannot find a place for my weakness to rest.
