To live the life you want, you must have the courage to let go of certain things. This world is not entirely fair: if you seek freedom, you must sacrifice safety; if you desire leisure, you will not achieve success in the eyes of others; if you seek joy, you need not mind the attitudes of those around you; if you wish to move forward, you must leave where you are now. — Anne Beibei, 'Clear Records – Simple'

Loving each other is not so easy; everyone has their own temperament. Once past the age of dreaming, passionate intensity is inferior to quiet companionship.
If the same person comes to mind first whether you are happy or sad, that is perfect. If it is not the same person, you should choose the one you want to share your sadness with, as life has more bitterness than joy.

If you are willing to tell them your sadness, they are the person you cherish most. — Zhang Xiaoxian

Living with a kind person is like entering a room filled with Angelica root; after a long time, you no longer notice the fragrance. Living with a wicked person is like eating abalone; after a long time, you hear no sound of it.
Setbacks are the best teachers; they allow us to recognize our shortcomings and strive forward.
You cannot change your environment, but you can change yourself; you cannot change facts, but you can change your attitude; You cannot change the past, but you can change the present; you cannot control others, but you can control yourself; you cannot predict tomorrow, but you can grasp today; you cannot be successful in everything, but you can be devoted to everything; you cannot choose your appearance, but you can display a smile. Good morning.
