“Faint” is relative to “sweet.” If one fails to grasp the “degree” between the two, friendship may be stifled. The friendship of the noble, though separated by distance, has hearts that are connected and closely united; the friendship of the petty is often stuck together, seemingly intimate, but with hearts that are isolated and unable to communicate. The noble tells friends what should be said and does what should be done; the petty say what friends want to hear and do what they themselves want to do.
Coming into the world, beyond food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, one also pursues beauty and success, hoping for achievements in career, even fame and distinction. However, excessive pursuit becomes greed. Greed causes us to lose autonomy over our lives, turning us into numb individuals who only chase fame and profit.
We should cherish and manage our time wisely. Some people always feel short of time, busy all day yet chaotic and disordered. This is often because they do not know how to use time effectively.
From babbling to becoming a talent is not an overnight process; many unknown difficulties will be encountered along the way. If you wish to be unique and become a person of great capacity, you must possess the ability to persist longer than others.
In the hearts of young people, there is no failure and no giving up. “Fearless forward, the brave are invincible” is the belief they always adhere to.
Living in the world and facing various harsh environments, there are always situations we cannot handle. In such cases, “running away” may be the best strategy.
God is always ready to forgive those who frequently repent and reform. At any time and in any place, once you recognize your mistake, you can apologize anytime. The manner of apology can be direct or subtle. As long as the attitude is sincere, the form does not matter.
We have no reason not to hurt others, unless we know how others hurt us.
Love without understanding is unreliable—understanding must come first, love follows.
If no one believes in you, believe in yourself; if no one appreciates you, appreciate yourself; if no one blesses you, bless yourself. Use your heart to touch the sunshine that belongs to you, and use love to create a century that belongs to you. Only when you understand yourself can the world understand you.
