19. Only through hard training is the fastest and best way to improve oneself.
20. There are people who care for you regardless of whether you care about them—cherish that kinship. There is a kind of devotion that gives unconditionally regardless of whether you belong to them—cherish that passion. There is a kind of tacit understanding that exists whether or not you stay in touch—cherish that friendship. There are things that slip away quietly regardless of whether you try to hold on—cherish that time. May you value time as much as gold and cherish every detail that time might ruthlessly take away.
21. Why do people always hurt each other? Often, the deeper the love, the heavier the hurt.
22. I act very casually as I pass through your world.
23. Endurance is often superior to intellect.
24. To change your destiny, you must first change your heart. The heart is the lighthouse of navigation, guiding your direction. The greatest tragedy in life is a lost heart. Once you determine your direction, effort is no longer an issue. Remember: it is better to play the fool than to be pseudo-clever; it is better to work hard than to seek instant gratification; it is better to appear poor than to flaunt wealth.
25. Amidst the bustle of the world and the frost of the years, one should face life's gains and losses with composure. Do not be sorrowful over people and things that drift away; instead, face life with the attitude of 'to gain is my luck, to lose is my fate.' Approach life's gains, losses, and grievances with a broad mind like the ocean. Show mercy where you can; for if you persist in conflict, you hurt both yourself and others. It is better to endure for a moment of peace than to clash and lose the vastness of the sky.
26. Time flows like sand through an hourglass. The wind remains gentle, and the clouds remain light. Looking back at the past, whether beautiful, sorrowful, joyful, or sad, everything folds into a yellowed letter with the turning of the seasons. The world is as hazy as smoke and as misty as rain. But where does the smoke and rain come from? They are but illusions of the mind; the world remains the same, and humanity remains as it was.
27. If you turn your back on the world all day, the world will turn its back on you. Although destiny cannot be changed, we can change our attitude toward it. Meet every day and every moment with a calm heart and experience the joy of life; then, even the most terrifying fate will cease to be so.
28. A smile is a gift of time and a necessity of life. Moving forward each day with a smile, I walk without fear.
29. Life has no ownership, only the right of use.
30. Seeking pity and sympathy in times of failure will only lead to inferiority.
31. Stealing someone's time is equivalent to murder.
32. If you think you are working for others, you will always work for others. If you believe you are working for yourself, you will eventually build your own career.
33. When you no longer care so much about possessing and demanding...
34. Sometimes we feel exhausted because we cannot let go of our 'face' (ego). Excessive vanity blinds our true selves, making us unable to distinguish between needs and desires. We treat others' opinions as our highest standard and their praise as our greatest reward, becoming lost in the maze of secularity. If you put your pride aside and live authentically, you will find that life is not as heavy as it seems.
35. I love myself, for I know no one will love me more than I love myself.
