Only when there is spring in your heart can your inner flower bloom; only when there is an ocean in your chest can your horizon be broad; only when you have good strategies in mind can you handle affairs efficiently; only when your eyes have spirit can your gaze be keen; only when your arms have strength can you deliver powerful blows; only when your steps have rhythm can you move lightly. Life is a song, singing the rhythm and melody of existence; life is a road, extending the footprints and hopes of life; life is a cup of wine, filled with the purity and sorrow of life; life is a ball of hemp, intertwining the worries and joys of life; life is a painting, depicting the experiences of life.
Socrates once said: 'A poisonous spider only injects its toxin into the human body upon contact, but "youthful beauty" is even more terrifying than a poisonous spider. No contact is needed; just one glance can make a person intoxicated. Therefore, I advise you: when you see a beautiful person, run away as fast as you can.'
On the road of life, you may find yourself in the midst of spring breezes or facing rough terrain. No matter what, we must keep moving forward. Whether it is glory or disgrace, we must face it with a calm mindset, with less helplessness and sighing, and more composure and indifference. Unmoved by honor or disgrace, I leisurely watch the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard; with no attachment to coming or going, I quietly observe the clouds gather and disperse in the sky. When the heart is leveled, life is a pool of still water; when the heart is lightened, life is a free-floating cloud.
Do not live too hard, and do not be too exhausted from busyness. If you want to eat, don't complain about the price; if you want to wear something, don't call it a waste. If you are upset, meet with friends; if you are sleepy, fall asleep immediately. A peaceful mindset is always the most beautiful, and being happy every day is what matters.
