36. Life is like a cup of tea; whether full or empty, what is there to struggle for? Whether thick or thin, it has its own flavor. Whether hurried or slow, so be it. Whether warm or cold, let us share a smile. Life is painful because of attachment, and hurtful because of doubt. We find joy by letting go and happiness by being indifferent. We are all travelers in this world; many things are beyond our control, so let us follow fate.
37. Do not make excuses for your laziness.
38. You can recover from physical exhaustion with rest, and from financial depletion through frugality, but once you exhaust your credit, no amount of effort or money can buy back the trust of others.
39. Everyone has desires, but too many desires make life exhausting.
40. Many philosophies of life, whether expected or unexpected, will eventually be etched into our minds.
41. Those who cannot afford to lose often fail to win. It is not life that determines taste, but taste that determines life. There is no such thing as good or bad character; optimism and pessimism both contribute to the world—the former invented the airplane, while the latter invented the parachute. Heavy rain cannot wet a duck's wings; fierce winds cannot extinguish the light of a firefly... When humans are most rational, it is often when they have no other choice.
42. As long as one can endure and wait, opportunities will eventually come, but waiting often comes with a heavy price.
43. To practice "forgiveness" requires not only a great heart but also more courage than seeking revenge. It is far more difficult than retaliation.
44. The most important thing in life is not hard work or struggle, but choice.
45. Before correcting others, reflect on whether you have made mistakes yourself.
46. Weakness is sometimes used to hide inner resilience, while firmness is sometimes used to hide inner softness.
47. Pleasant words easily move people, but kind words easily offend them.
48. Never give up on your dreams. Without dreams, there is no hope; without hope, life loses its meaning.
49. The most enduring war in life is the war against oneself.
50. Therefore, do not argue with others, for it is not worth it; do not argue with yourself, for you cannot afford it; do not argue with the past, for it is gone.
51. We only live once; do not live too exhaustively. If the pace of work is too fast, stress too high, competitiveness too strong, and life too irregular, your mind and body will collapse. To live comfortably and happily, learn to be content and go with the flow. Happiness should be shared to be doubled, and life should be filled with anticipation, surprises, and gratitude.
52. There is always someone who lives in the heart but has departed from life.
53. What belongs to me, I will remember; what does not belong to me, I will learn to let go.
54. If you seek a perfect friendship, you may never find a friend in your lifetime.
55. Time spares no one, especially women; opportunity waits for no one, especially men.
