Growing up does not equal becoming an adult, having money does not equal being wealthy, achieving results does not equal success, and holding a high status does not equal being noble. Nothing is greater than human nature, nothing is richer than love, nothing is more meritorious than virtue, and nothing is more precious than character.
Gradually, you will realize that free time can be quite boring, lacking the sense of fulfillment one felt during high school.
Be transcendent in solitude, decisive in action. Be clear when there is nothing to do, and resolute when dealing with matters. Be calm when successful, and serene when facing disappointment.
In a lifetime, one meets many people, but not everyone becomes a friend. Some are merely passersby, not worth befriending or remembering. In short, be cautious in making friends and avoid associating with harmful influences.
The perfection of character is the foundation; the establishment of wealth is secondary.

As people grow up and mature, having experienced much, they often become more fragile and sensitive. Often, even when unhappy, they do not share their feelings with family or friends. Instead, they transform all their joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, into a faint melancholy at their fingertips, blooming quietly in every season.
