61. Many people spend most of their lives finding various ways to waste them.
62. Sometimes, avoidance is not about fearing confrontation, but about waiting for something.
63. A white lie is beautiful and excusable.
64. To ward off insult, nothing is better than brotherhood.
65. No one in the world dislikes money, even the wealthy. However, only two types of people will spend money for you: those seeking profit, and those acting out of affection.
66. You will encounter hope at the next intersection.
67. Life is destined to have flaws, and past time cannot be reclaimed. Not everything will go as you wish; irrevocable results cannot be changed. Excessive obsession is merely emotional attrition, which is futile. It is better to let go calmly.
68. One should follow the rules of the game; even a thief knows certain things are strictly off-limits. Therefore, never push someone to the extreme. Avoid kicking someone when they are down; leaving a way out for others is actually clearing obstacles for yourself.
69. If a relationship requires secrecy, you should generally not involve yourself in it.
70. Without pressure, you will not take your work seriously.
71. Character stems from habits, and habits stem from daily actions.
72. In life, enjoy your achievements during the peaks and enjoy life during the valleys.
73. One can face life calmly and let it be filled with sunshine.
74. Everyone has the ability to develop themselves and achieve greater success. Unfortunately, people often encounter a psychological barrier in this process, known as the "Jonah Complex." Jonah was a biblical figure who shrank back when God gave him an opportunity. Do not doubt your abilities or tolerate your mental weakness; take positive action!
75. Aside from the real pain of illness or the loss of loved ones, most other suffering comes from desire, comparison, and chasing what does not belong to you. While happiness requires a material foundation, if you set the threshold for happiness too high, pain will follow you forever.
76. Yes, I will wait. Just as I am lying here now, gazing at the blue sky and the sea.
77. Food has labels saying "use before this date." A woman is not food, youth has an expiration, and patience has its limits. Please love and care for her before the deadline, for she does not wait for anyone. Everything has its season, including love. Love has birth, aging, sickness, and death; it often expires unnoticed. One day, when we bring it up, we realize its most vibrant days are long gone.
78. Our misfortune lies in being led by time, unable to fix ourselves at a single point to see the whole and eternal picture. For humans, the only eternal thing is their own restlessness, which is the very source of extreme suffering.
79. The degree of a person's suffering depends entirely on the concentration of the "self" in their life. The thicker the ego, the more one suffers; the thinner the ego, the less one suffers. An objective interest in things can effectively help us escape the cage of the self. Thus, cultivating a love for nature, philosophy, art, and music is beneficial. These pursuits enhance our quality of life and dilute the "self" within our being. In this way, our lives will no longer be limited or narrow, and our consciousness will not be imprisoned by the ego and desires—which are the very roots of all pain and anxiety.
