Joy is a blossoming that starts from the inside and radiates outward, arising naturally from the depths of your soul. Therefore, once you possess it, the outside world cannot take it away. The most comfortable pillow is fatigue, the most delicious food is hunger, the most effective education is suffering, and the most moving beauty is distance.
Excessive self-focus often means directing all attention solely onto oneself, being overly concerned with how one’s actions are perceived by others, and placing too much emphasis on subjective feelings and intense emotions regarding specific events. Because the object of this focus is limited, such a state can lead to isolation. One’s appearance, mannerisms, tone of voice, pitch, and facial expressions constitute a person's external presentation. Through these aspects, people can more intuitively and vividly judge a person’s character and competence, observe their confidence and emotions, and thereby form a crucial "first impression."
In a year long past, we met at the right time, recognizing each other’s pure and gentle faces. Your tall stature and sun-like smile sketched the trembling contours of my soul for a time. The bus stops of those years etched the silhouettes and memories that belonged to us. I finally realized that my perspective on people was too simplistic. I never considered what kind of face lay beneath the mask; I always treated the mask as the face itself, forgetting that beneath a smiling mask, there is often a face shedding tears.
Yesterday is precious, tomorrow is even more valuable, but for the sake of today, one must set both aside. Life consists of only three days; a person must not linger in the past or dream of the future, but rather forget the most important thing: the present! We must thank every friend in our lives who has shaped each day. Let us express gratitude for past interactions, entrust the future with a plea for assistance, and declare that friendship endures eternally for friends for a lifetime! Perhaps some people are despicable and some are base. Therefore, please forgive everyone you have ever met, be they good or bad.
When the deepest part of your heart truly merges with what you are doing, when your actions become satisfying and goal-oriented, and when what you do benefits both yourself and others, You are engaged in your destined work.
