21. Do not monopolize glory; the glory you claim solely today may become the bitter fruit you swallow alone tomorrow.
22. Fate is in our own hands. Only we can truly change our destiny; we have no need to live according to the will imposed upon us by the outside world.
23. Life itself is already full of vicissitudes. If we cannot offer ourselves even a glimmer of hope, it would be too cruel. May our souls find warmth and solace.
24. Consecutive failures do not mean we will never succeed; they simply mean we are a bit further from our goal. As long as we keep running, luck will eventually meet us.
25. Beyond work, we also need emotion, for we are emotional beings, not machines produced solely for labor. Those lacking love and care often experience loneliness.
26. Peeking at private letters is unethical, especially publishing them. However, I know some people long to share their secrets, using genuine feelings to move those around them and sharing what they have gained or realized. I do not love receiving letters; I simply love sharing.
27. Much of life involves endurance. After giving something, one cannot expect to be fully satisfied with everything. Being as light as water, enjoying encounters, and leaving a lingering aftertaste after parting—that is enough.
28. True strength lies in inner strength. Give your heart to others, and shoulder the weakness yourself. May time remain timeless, may we both be well, and may time witness our ability to let go.
29. Irritable toward family, enthusiastic toward friends, and cautious toward oneself—perhaps that is who we are today.
30. Do not make decisions when you are angry, sad, or under any intense emotion; decisions made then are mostly wrong and irreversible.
31. See a whole world in a grain of sand; see a paradise in a wildflower.
32. A weak personality in relationships often manifests as being easily infatuated, misinterpreting a member of the opposite sex's normal care. After clarifying the situation, even if one truly likes them, they might retreat instead of pursuing them. Life values action; when hesitating, take a small step forward. Do not regret moving forward; if it is beautiful, it is wonderful; if it is bad, it is experience.
33. If someone you haven't contacted in years suddenly tries to get close to you, it's fine—just get used to it! It doesn't mean anything; don't overthink it.
34. Drink more water, and then drink a little more.
35. Learn to persist, but also learn to let go. As the ancients said: "Great giving leads to great gaining, small giving leads to small gaining; if you do not let go, you cannot gain." Clenching your fists leaves you with nothing; opening your hands brings the world to you. From childhood, we are taught to work hard and never give up, but often, learning how to let go is more important.
36. Life is a vast and noble gift. Life is like a stage; until the curtain falls, you will never know how brilliant you are. Success and setbacks, joy and sorrow, are all part of life. First, stay peaceful—keep a steady mind regarding honor and failure. Second, persist—once you have decided, keep going, for nothing is easy at the start.
37. Remember everyone who is kind to you, for they could have chosen not to be. No love should require you to sacrifice your dignity or degrade yourself. Love may cause jealousy or tears, but ultimately, it should be warm and provide security. If it doesn't, you have either loved the wrong person or used the wrong method. Rather than suffering, it is better to be single.
38. Treat others with sincerity, enthusiasm, and politeness.
39. Life is like a pencil in constant use: it starts sharp, but gradually wears down to be smooth. However, if it becomes too smooth, it is time to sharpen it again.
