'despite'引导让步状语，'remains steady'系表结构准确表达了状态的持续不变。
We often unconsciously choose partners we shouldn't love, marriages we shouldn't enter, positions unsuited to our abilities, or dreams that remain out of reach, thereby plunging into various life dilemmas. Remarkably, life's hardships are like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west; they do not change based on our choices. Different choices merely lead to dilemmas of varying intensity. All we can do is accept reality.
Everything may be unfavorable, but one's mood must remain positive. Everything may be lacking, but self-confidence must not be absent. Everything may be discarded, but happiness must not be abandoned.
When desires are unmet, there is suffering; once they are fulfilled, there is boredom. Life swings between suffering and boredom.
Do not merely gaze at the distant future. Instead, focus on tasks at hand and spend a joyful, fulfilling today, for only the present is real.
Let the heart be like a mirror. Although external scenery changes constantly, the mirror itself does not turn. This is a state of equanimity, where The mind remains steady despite changing circumstances.
我们往往会不自觉地选择不该爱的人、不该结的婚、不适合自己的职位，甚至追求难以实现的梦想，从而陷入人生的各种困境。神奇的是，人生的困境如同日出东方、日落西山，不会因为我们的选择而改变。不同的选择只会带来不同程度的困境，我们能做的只是接受事实。
一切境遇可以不佳，但心情必须良好；物质可以缺乏，但自信不能缺失；万物可以舍弃，但快乐绝不能放弃。
欲望得不到满足便痛苦，一旦满足则感到无聊，生命正是在痛苦与无聊之间摇摆。
不要只顾观望遥远的未来，而应着手处理眼前的事务，度过愉快而充实的今天，因为唯有今天才是现实。
心如明镜，虽外景瞬息万变，镜面却静止不动，这便是平常心，即能够随景转变而内心不乱。
