Some great achievements in the world are accomplished precisely because some people are not "smart" enough to realize that certain goals are considered impossible. Self-confidence is the first step on the path to success, while a lack of self-confidence is often the primary cause of failure.
Life is essentially a process filled with regrets. It is precisely because of these countless regrets that our lives become so wonderful and beautiful. Honesty is a form of wisdom that is closer to the heart. In awkward situations, it is better to sincerely reveal one's true self rather than using eloquent speech to hide the truth; this not only appears friendly but also earns greater understanding from others.
The highest realm of reading is being absorbed so deeply that one becomes oblivious to the surroundings, achieving a state of spiritual transcendence. Those who cannot afford to lose are often the ones who cannot win. It is not life that determines taste, but taste that determines life. There is no inherent good or bad in personality; both optimism and pessimism contribute to the world. The former invented the airplane, while the latter invented the parachute. Heavy rain cannot wet a duck's wings, and fierce winds cannot extinguish the light of a firefly. People are often most rational when they have no other choices.
Life is short, just a few decades. Do not leave regrets behind. Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, and love boldly when the time comes; do not suppress yourself. In the places the wind has passed, there is a trace called longing. Time flows quietly, and years pass silently. We are all like grains of dust; regardless of how deep our footsteps are or how far the journey is, we mostly forget the path we have taken, and no one can leave anything behind them.
When troubles arrive, do not reject or refuse them, nor should you dwell on the idea of "trouble." Take action and meet the trouble with patience. Once you start dealing with it, the trouble naturally disappears. Everyone encounters various troubles in their lifetime; if one persistently rejects, complains, or avoids them, the result is not that the trouble vanishes, but that one gets drowned by it. Because the troubles you once avoided will eventually come back to find you.
In this life, in childhood, we think we understand nothing; in college, we think we understand everything; after graduation, we realize we understand nothing; in middle age, we think we understand everything again; and in old age, we finally realize that we understand nothing of the whole. Everyone is chasing dreams, yet in the busyness, they forget the people and things around them. Every instance of hurt or moving emotion is so brief, for busyness leaves them no time to listen or truly feel.
