Refusing to bear what should be borne is rashness; bearing what should not be borne is weakness.
In life, we often fail to find happiness because we do not know how to cherish what we have in the present. We always look toward a "paradise" ahead or dream of better things in the future, thereby neglecting what we currently possess. In reality, the only things you can truly grasp are the ones you already have. Only by sincerely enjoying the present moment can one experience genuine happiness.
Only through diligent work can one achieve their goals. Without arduous effort, how can one reap success? Even when suffering from serious illness, Bergson continued to work diligently; this is the spirit essential for a genius. Young people, if you are not willing to put in the effort, do not delude yourself with the fantasy of success. To become an outstanding elite in society, one must exert efforts that exceed the norm.
If one is willing to let go of the small, they may gain the great; if willing to let go of the near, they may reach the far. If life remained as it was in the first encounter, we would never experience the joys of success, the pain of failure, or the spectrum of human emotions. Because we possess things, we fear losing them; because we desire them, we are anxious about gaining and losing. In truth, nothing in this world truly belongs to us. We are merely passing travelers, arriving naked and departing with nothing.
Life is simple. If you have missed yesterday, do not miss today. Leave past matters to time to handle; let future matters be proven by time. What we truly need to do is firmly grasp today, letting today's self surpass yesterday's and shaping tomorrow's self. By concentrating on the path before our feet, we avoid stumbling and taking wrong turns. Give yourself a chance to start over.
Humans should be born as middle-aged people and then gradually become young. If that were the case, they would cherish time and not waste it on meaningless matters.
The most painful moment for the heart is not screaming in tears, but being unable to shed tears. The moment the heart is thoroughly chilled is not talking endlessly, but being unable to utter a word.
If life remained as it was in the first encounter, we would never experience the joys of success, the pain of failure, or the spectrum of human emotions.
