21. Everything follows a certain principle: endure it, and you will stand out; fail to endure, and you will be sidelined. This is life.
22. Humans are forgetful. It is right not to hold grudges, but one must not forget the lessons learned.
23. Master Jinghui once said, "After decades of practicing Buddhism, my most important realization can be summarized in six words: see through, let go, and be free."
24. To achieve a happy life, one must seek to understand others, society, culture, and history. By being law-abiding, diligent, and fulfilling one's duties, a happy life will surely follow!
25. Seeking tirelessly on rugged paths, smiling lightly amidst flowers and applause, neither swayed by external things nor saddened by personal setbacks—forgetting both honor and disgrace is the true understanding of life. Such a tranquil state is what makes a life both ordinary and extraordinary.
26. Never make decisions while in tears, and speak as little as possible when emotions are negative.
27. Money cannot buy time, but time can be used to earn money.
28. Opportunism is, in fact, the most foolish behavior. Some people act virtuous in public but behave recklessly in private, or even abandon good deeds if they aren't praised. Little do they know that every action is observed by others. We do not act for show, but for ourselves. Truly wise people remain grounded and consistent in their integrity.
29. Suddenly, many things became clear—things I never understood before. I realized the true meaning of growing up, the hardships of being an adult, and the devotion required of a parent. I understood that in this life, there are many dissatisfactions we must simply accept and bear. Perhaps this realization comes a little late, or perhaps I was a little slow to understand.
30. No one can bargain with life; as long as you are living, you must strive forward.
