If you desire something too intensely, you will inflate its importance, potentially viewing it as the entire world and allowing it to occupy all your thoughts. My advice is to step back promptly, regardless of whether you achieve your wish. See its true place in the world—its insignificance in the infinite span of space and time. This way, you won’t be intoxicated by success nor devastated by failure.
A person only becomes a true strong one after experiencing seven layers of solitude.
Although I am not a real superhero in movies, on the path of chasing dreams, everyone can first become their own hero. It originates from here.
If you force yourself to view simple matters as complex, you will be in great pain.
Men need companionship, women need support; men and women come together to cultivate affection.
From the day a child is born, persist in writing a diary to record their growth. In my view, all cultured parents should do this; it is an extremely valuable thing they can do for their children and themselves.
From how a person educates their children, you can best see their attitude toward life. Parents who force their children into various classes to learn skills are often impatient and short-sighted in their own lives. Conversely, a person who is indifferent to fame and gain will surely be willing to let their child grow happily according to their nature.
The essence of a person’s life lies in diligence. Diligence prevents scarcity. A turning door axis does not breed worms, and flowing water does not rot. This is the underlying principle.
Your ears were originally sensitive, your eyes bright. Serving your father, you were originally filial; treating your elder brother, you originally observed the etiquette of a younger brother. There is no inherent deficiency; it only depends on your ability to stand on your own feet.
In general, if one focuses only on success and gain, they will inevitably be ill-adapted to failure or loss. If one anticipates failure before success and considers potential loss before gain, then success and gain are not worth much joy, and failure and loss need not cause worry. Is that not a kind of spaciousness of mind?
