A successful salesman once said: “A person with a smile is always welcome, for it is not only a sign of friendliness but also of confidence.” Therefore, before entering anyone’s office, he would always pause, think of things he was grateful for, put on a sincere smile, and step in just as that smile appeared on his face. This small gesture was one of the primary factors in his sales success. If you are still struggling with self-doubt, give yourself a smile to drive away the inner inferiority and effectively boost your self-confidence.
Life is a process of choices, and each choice also implies a surrender. Every step in life is a crossroads, and no road has an end, for there is no turning back. The abundance of life stems from the compassion of our hearts, and the beauty of life stems from possessing a calm and ordinary mindset. The path of life does not need to be polished artificially; one only needs to work diligently and live simply.
Among thousands of people, you meet the one you were destined to meet; among thousands of years, in the vast wilderness of time, neither a step earlier nor a step later, you just happened to be there. There are no other words to say, only a soft inquiry: “Oh, you are here too?”
Being human is a kind of fate. Since we have chosen life, we should face the potholes on the road head-on and bravely carry the burden of life. Since there are no return tickets for life, why not let everything follow fate and live with a free and easy spirit?
Gazing at the sea of clouds on Mount Huang, walking under the night moon on Mount Lu; bathing in the misty rain of South Lake, treading on the residual snow of West Lake; exploring the famous gardens of Jinling, seeking old traces in Guangling; listening to Suzhou ballads, searching for ancient texts in Huizhou; savoring new tea from Yangxian, peeling early tangerines from Dongting; tasting fresh fish from Wuxing, getting drunk on the fragrant snow of Shaoxing.
