A dream ends, worldly ties dissolve, half a life fades like mist, a step away from the mortal world, playing the qin for the afterlife. Once again, the Qingming Festival arrives, coinciding with Feng'er's birthday. If Feng'er's arrival was not a calamity, why would they be left in the mortal realm on a day for mourning the dead? Why search for the distant figures of parents in the heavenly realm while suffering in solitude amidst the dust? The Dream of the Red Chamber shatters, blood and tears bury the dust, a handful of yellow earth covers the beauty. Feng'er in this life, upon entering the mortal world, is destined for a lifetime of sorrow. Counting the desolate karmic cycles behind, listening to the unspoken grief on the path, using a heart's wound to play 'Laughing at the Dust.' Feng'er transforms into a wisp of clear breeze, dancing gracefully from the mist, drinking in the joys and sorrows of the world. A single dance is already a thousand years; the melody ends, the strings snap, life extinguishes.
One's work attitude must be upright and earnest, leaving no room for carelessness. Preparations must be meticulous and thorough. A slight deviation leads to a great error.
Smart people often play with their intelligence, but if someone is very smart yet always modest, such a person has great potential.
Pain makes one stronger; tears make one braver; heartbreak makes one wiser. Therefore, thank the past, for it gives you a better future. To live is to dare to fight one's self to the death. There are two paths in life: one meets the expectations of others, and the other follows one's own heart. The former may gain many applause but lacks one's own applause; the latter may have no one cheering, but you yourself will cheer for yourself.
Rejoicing in others' happiness is the antidote to jealousy. When others find joy, if you feel happy for them, you will be infected by their joy.
Rather than being preoccupied with desires that cannot be attained, it is better to be satisfied and grateful for what you already have.
Thinking thrice before acting to avoid regret is a correct way to handle affairs. However, this attitude can sometimes appear overly passive. Conversely, acting impulsively without consideration and then conducting inspections and retrospections may yield greater results.
We have so many needs and desires that we experience so much struggle and suffering. The source of pain is actually rooted in our own hearts. This is like assuming our body suddenly acquires magnetism for some unknown reason, causing iron filings or steel needles to stick to us and prick us. Similarly, the cause of suffering is often not external, but our nature has a strong affinity for things that can bring us pain.
