1. Wise people always see things from more angles than ordinary people.
2. Many things are predestined, which is 'fate'; but you can decide how to face them, which is 'fortune.' Don't always ask what others have done for you, but ask what you have done for others.
3. Life has five crucial crossroads: the cultivation of the childhood heart, the establishment of youthful interests, the choice of a life partner in youth, remaining untainted by worldly trends in middle age, and achieving maturity without becoming rigid in old age.
4. Some people are etched into our memories—even if we forget their voice, their smile, or their face, the feeling we have when we think of them never changes... We say with a smile that we stay where time stood, but in reality, we have long been swept away by the silent torrent of time...
5. Common sense tells us: don't look at things that are blinding, don't eat things with wormholes, don't cling to things that are merely pleasing to the eye, and don't let anger block you. Life wisdom tells us: don't boast about money, don't be blinded by envy, don't harbor a thief's mindset, and don't let your heart turn bad.
6. In this season, some people tend to feel 'melancholy in autumn.' Therefore, we should treat everything with a peaceful mind, talk with family, take walks, and participate in group activities to keep our spirits high. This helps us align with the nature of autumn—to collect and retract—and mitigates the impact of its chilling atmosphere, allowing us to pass through this eventful season calmly. At the same time, we should continuously focus our energy, avoid letting our minds wander, and maintain inner peace by eliminating distractions.
7. Don't care too much about those who treat you poorly; no one is obligated to be good to you. The knowledge you acquire is your weapon; you can build a life from nothing, but you cannot do so unarmed. How you treat others does not dictate how they treat you; if you cannot see this, you will only increase your own troubles. We only have one chance with our kin; cherish them, for in the next life, regardless of love or lack thereof, you may never meet again.
8. They say there is no feast that does not end; the final destination of life is always death. The moment of eternal sleep is also the end of a grand masquerade. The people encountered and the stories shared in that dance will ultimately vanish like smoke as the soul drifts away.
9. Longing for you to the point of heartbreak; missing you so much that I cannot sleep all night; loving you so much that my heart softens; awaiting you until the heavens and earth change!
10. The wider your vision, the wider your heart will be. A frog in a well can only see the sky as large as the well's opening, and thus can never understand the thirst of a bird. One does not necessarily need vast knowledge, but one must have insight. Those who are easily surprised by the uncommon are often the creators of their own troubles. Seeing more and thinking further allows one to be understanding and to let go. When trouble comes, look up at the vast sky. Vision determines the scale of the heart, and the scale of the heart determines one's destiny.
11. Mom said if I admitted my mistakes, she would hold my hand again; you said that sometimes admitting mistakes allows us to hold hands once more. Relatives will always forgive because you are their child; lovers often find it hard to forgive because we are all children at heart.
12. What does it matter if the dining table is large? You only eat a few favorite dishes. What does it matter if the house is large? You only need that one bed. What does it matter if the city is large? You walk the same few paths every day. What does it matter if the world is large? In the end, you are only looking for that one person.
13. In a utilitarian clan, knowledge becomes nothing more than a stepping stone; in an autocratic state, wisdom is merely a tool for political advancement.
14. Imagine a person living in this world with no one to care for or depend on—would their life be fulfilling? However, one should only care for those who truly care for you, those worthy of your concern, and those who can understand you.
15. The ruined building stands as a witness, as the flowers of the other shore bloom, adding color to the emotions of the passing years. The cold moonlight and frost chill the tears of time. The joyous meetings under the flowers and moon, the deep affection and shared hardships, are all collected in the glass bottles of memory by time.
