Only true inner peace can lead to genuine tranquility. A calm mind is not stagnant water, but a calm sea harboring new waves. It is not a motionless stone, but a tree growing quietly into a mighty giant. At many intersections where reality meets illusion, I have met different people who have moved me in unique ways. Some of these distinct scenery may be fleeting, yet they are worthy of being cherished. Aura is a state of mind. Appearance and props certainly play a role, but the true source lies within the heart. People with a strong aura are respected, approached, and attracted to by others; they cannot be easily ignored or looked down upon. It doesn't mean having to be powerful like the Small Universe of the Saint Seiya, or keeping others at a distance, or killing with a single glance, or making others tremble in fear. It simply means becoming yourself, rather than just any ordinary person. If one wants to conquer the world, one must first conquer oneself. "Knowing what to do and what not to do" is the fundamental prerequisite for achieving great success. As Gorky said: "Even a small restraint over oneself can make a person strong and powerful." One should strive to overcome all bad habits. An ancient maxim states: "Those who seek fame will have their fame ruined by lust and desire; those who seek profit will lose their profit due to lust and desire; those who manage their homes will see their households ruined by lust and desire; those who serve in office will see their careers fall apart due to lust and desire!" Defeating oneself is the most tragic defeat, while conquering oneself is the most precious victory. The biggest difference between doing and not doing is: the latter holds the right to comment on the former. Life is like such a book: written with sweat, tears, and even blood; paginated by time; bound by experience; and read with the soul.
