61. Sometimes, not taking risks is even more dangerous than taking them.
62. There are many ways to succeed; do not reject methods that you do not approve of.
63. As the poet Mengchuang Guoshi said: "Mountains turn yellow many times, yet worldly affairs fly incessantly. With a narrow view of the three realms, the heart finds vastness in a single bed of peace."
64. People are not inherently bad; they simply have habits. Everyone has habits, varying in depth. As long as they possess a heart inclined toward the Path, forgive them when you can, and do not label them as bad people.
65. Many achievements do not appear instantly; they require patience and perseverance. If you are willing to pay the price of persistence, you will eventually enjoy the sweetness of success.
66. When one door of happiness closes, another opens. However, we often stare so long at the closed door that we fail to notice the one that has opened.
67. A peaceful person is passionate without being artificial, and loyal without being hypocritical. They are selfless within and humble without; they show kindness out of sincerity rather than to seek fame. Living by the principle "A gentleman is open and easygoing, while a small man is constantly anxious," they live uprightly and purely.
68. Life itself is not the most important thing; what matters most is to discard a passive or indifferent attitude and cultivate a positive, healthy life.
69. I carry a basket full of wishes, yet I only notice a single shooting star.
70. A salesperson cannot close a deal with every client they visit; they should strive to increase their visits to improve the conversion rate.
71. The mind is inherently still; why seek it externally? Cultivation lies in the heart and in every rising thought: cultivate a heart without evil, and a mouth with kind words; cultivate compassion, avoiding greed and anger; speak directly, avoiding falsehoods; cultivate a pure heart, following the teachings; act with goodness, avoiding evil; cultivate a broad mind to embrace both good and evil; speak softly to bring joy to listeners; act uprightly and respect parents; cultivate mercy, avoiding killing and theft; act purely to help others selflessly; smile often to build good connections; and cultivate a mind without attachment, avoiding the pursuit of fame and fortune.
72. If there is no joy in your heart, you will never find a paradise even if you travel to the ends of the earth. If your heart is content, you can remain at ease even in prison.
73. Our greatest mistake is giving our worst character and most negative emotions to those closest to us.
74. Human emotions and relationships are part of human nature; one should be kind and social. "Not burning incense until an emergency arises" does not work. One must "store" emotions like bank deposits; the more you deposit, the greater the dividends over time.
75. To complain about poverty is to lack the drive to be busy; to complain about ignorance is to lack the effort to learn. Effort yields results; without付出, there is no success.
76. Conversation is a great way to build relationships, but excessive talk can also break them. Remember to speak in moderation.
77. The first week of school: Calm, indifferent, and colorless.
78. Does time know whether there will ever be a newcomer to my world?
79. If you simply become yourself, there will be no internal division, and the energy of your life will be harmonious. Harmony itself is a form of joy. When you strive to be something else, your inner self splits; one part opposes the other, and the energy of your life becomes conflict and division—a burden and a pain that turns life into a hellish ordeal. This is why all religions oppose desire, for desire is the effort to become something else, causing internal division and endless suffering.
80. If you treat this world as real, it is false. If you see that this world is false, you become real.
