King Edward of Britain once visited the slums of London for an inspection. Upon arriving at the door of a dilapidated house, where a destitute old woman lived, he asked politely, "May I come in?" This humble inquiry revealed the essence of noble culture: it is easy to be rich, but difficult to be noble. One can be called rich with money, but without a strong spiritual force and a noble concept of respecting others, one remains merely a vulgar person no matter how wealthy they are.
Forgetting a person does not mean never thinking of them again, but rather that when you do think of them occasionally, your heart remains calm without ripples. True forgetting requires no effort. In everyone's phone book, there is likely a number you will never call but never delete; in everyone's heart, there is likely a person you will never mention but never forget.
Pushkin once said: "If life deceives you, do not be sad or angry! In times of trouble, restrain yourself; believe that a day of joy will come." How far is happiness from us? In fact, happiness is hidden in every small thing in our lives. Treat your inner self with kindness; you can make yourself suffer, but you can also make yourself happy, because You are the true master of your own life.
Life is a mix of bitterness and joy, sadness and happiness. Gains and losses constitute life, while sorrow and joy make up our days. We often strive and pursue in a state of confusion; what we gain is not necessarily cherished, and what we lose is not necessarily regrettable. We should not beg for fate's favor nor rely on others; the confusions in life must be experienced and resolved by ourselves.
Due to limitations of subjective and objective conditions, not everything one "wants to do" or "should do" can be realized. In such cases, to make a tangible contribution to society with one's life value, one must focus on doing what is "possible" to do.
Life is not perfect. If you find you have made a mistake, start over; if others do not forgive you, you can forgive yourself. Never use one mistake to cover up another.
If you do not know how to listen, you cannot truly communicate.
