18. To be, or not to be—that is a question worth contemplating.
19. In life, we often compare our misfortunes with the happiness of others, thinking they are doing better, unaware that they may envy us just as much. Everyone has their own struggles; it is impossible for all the good things in the world to belong to a single person. In the end, we realize that our own life is what suits us best.
20. "Do not be swayed by external things, nor be grieved by oneself." If one can achieve this, one can live very happily.
21. Life is a play; if you perform well, you will naturally be rewarded.
22. If you are easily swayed by a few words from others, how can you call yourself mature? The meaning of language depends on its own quality; the more inferior the words, the less meaning they hold. Therefore, do not let unpleasant words dampen your spirit; instead, celebrate a meaningful life.
23. Where your energy is focused, your rewards will be found.
24. The way to live in harmony with others is: Endure a word, and the root of trouble is severed. Forgive a slight, and do not strive for dominance. Persevere through a moment, and a pit of fire turns into a lotus pond. Take a step back, and it becomes a path of spiritual cultivation.
25. The true greatness of a scholar lies in the many significant works they accomplish in silence, without seeking fame during their lifetime.
26. If one can let everything be, one becomes a free soul in this world. Peace exists within the light of one's nature; once this nature is understood, one will find "peace in life and peace in death."
27. Do not say you understand, for you do not understand my heart; do not say you understand, for what I give you is my heart. Do not wait for those who should not be waited for, and do not wound hearts that should not be wounded. Some people are destined to be mere passersby in our lives, and some matters often leave us feeling helpless. Rather than weeping in sorrow, it is better to face them with composure. Solitude does not necessarily mean unhappiness; gain does not necessarily last; and loss does not necessarily mean you will never possess again.
