65. Giving up doesn't require courage. Anyone can give up, and most people are doing exactly that—giving up on their dreams and themselves.
66. Those who appear happy may harbor unspeakable sorrows; those who smile often may hide silent tears; those who flaunt their lives may be far from the splendor they show. Personal happiness is understood only by oneself. So, do not be hard on yourself or dwell on the judgments of others; live according to your own comfort. Happiness is like drinking water—only the drinker knows if it is cold or warm. Your happiness lies not in the eyes of others, but in your own heart.
67. Knowing you are no longer alone, I still haven't learned to let go of love.
68. When you see others laughing, do not assume you are the only one suffering; others are simply better at masking it. When you feel inferior to others, remember that we are all just ordinary people. We spend our lives pursuing happiness, and no one refuses happiness, just as one does not refuse a coat when cold or bread when hungry.
69. The longest and shortest, the fastest and slowest, the most ordinary and precious, and the most easily overlooked yet most regretted thing in the world is time.
70. Go outside and walk; the world often offers much more than the things we obsessively imagine. A person who respects themselves lives without compromise, gaining taste through integrity. A person who respects others is not overbearing, gaining morality through kindness. A person who respects nature does not plunder, gaining sustainable wisdom through preservation.
71. As long as you possess a broad mindset and a leisurely state of mind, you will possess peace of heart.
72. Leisureliness cannot be faked. Idleness has nothing to do with leisure, and doing nothing is not the same as being leisurely. If doing nothing is like a desolate wilderness, then leisure is like a scenic journey. One can learn to be idle or pretend to be busy, but one cannot fake true leisure.
73. Life is a grand encounter where everyone plays different roles among a diverse crowd. You are always the protagonist of your own life, though there may not be thousands of spectators cheering for you. In such moments, you must learn to calm your restless mind and live life steadily.
74. Life grants us a vast and noble gift. Life is like a stage; until the curtain falls, you will never know how brilliant you truly are. There will be ups and downs, joys and sorrows; this is the nature of life. First, stay peaceful—remain steady amidst honor or disgrace, success or failure; those who treat gain and loss with equanimity are invincible. Second, persevere—if you have chosen the right path, stick to it, for nothing succeeds effortlessly from the start.
75. Scientific inspiration is never something one simply waits for. If there are accidental opportunities in scientific development, such "accidental opportunities" only come to those who are well-educated, capable of independent thinking, and possess a spirit of perseverance.
76. Slowly, one realizes that being kind to someone does not guarantee a return, while those we overlook are often the ones who value us most. One realizes that many things are serendipitous and cannot be sought, and many things can only be experienced once. Life may leave us scarred, but some wounds require time to heal, while some unspeakable heartaches can only be salvaged by music and released through words.
77. People feel weary because they often waver between persistence and giving up. Actually, I laugh easily and cry easily; I laugh without a care, but when I cry, it is a suffocating pain. Happiness has no tomorrow and no yesterday; it does not long for the past or yearn for the future; it only exists in the present.
78. Everyone has weaknesses. Those who use others' weaknesses as topics of ridicule or targets of attack will never have a future.
79. Less mockery, more love; life is full of enchanting colors.
80. He who plays with life will achieve nothing; he who cannot master himself will forever be a slave.
