26. A person should spend their life in such a way that when they look back, they do not regret wasting their years or feel ashamed of their past mediocrity; at the end of life, they can say: 'My entire life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world... fighting for the liberation of humanity.'
27. To achieve success, never stop acting regardless of the difficulties encountered, because for a successful person, there are 'no excuses' in the face of any obstacle. Every opportunity is earned through struggle; opportunities do not knock on your door automatically, just as salt does not dissolve itself into soup.
28. What is happiness? It is masking your sadness and smiling at everyone. When the mind is tranquil, everything is tranquil; when the mind is at ease, everything is at ease. Perfection does not exist in this world; once you understand and accept things, you have found perfection. In society, do not reveal your heart to those whose intentions are unknown. A person capable of deep thought possesses boundless strength. It is okay to persist for love, but do not let love wound you, and do not waste your time on someone who does not care for you.
29. Habitual thinking helps us learn from errors and failures, which may be correct but not necessarily good. The most important thing is not the path, but the goal. Being opportunistic might be 'smart' when pursuing short-term goals; but if you pursue grand ambitions, setbacks and failures are inevitable. While many turn back after hitting a wall, people like Steve Jobs are those who break through the wall and keep moving forward.
30. Novelty is the soul of art, and beauty is its life.
31. One should act with integrity and propriety to earn the respect and trust of others.
32. Changing a consumer's ingrained ideas is harder than climbing to the sun, yet it is not impossible.
33. We progress when we change our slogan from 'Competition First' to 'Friendship First.'
34. The meaning of life lies in pursuit, and the process of life lies in creation.
35. Life is like a process of chasing a mirage; beauty is always ahead.
36. The fastest way to make money is through investment. With abundant capital, one can choose various methods like real estate; with limited capital, choosing the right method can still generate wealth.
37. Those who practice traditional thriftiness have a long-term vision and a secure life, yet overemphasizing wealth is also unwise. Money is something we cannot bring with us when we die; there is no need to live like an ascetic while guarding large savings. Conversely, those who follow trendy consumption or live in debt have shallow foundations and high risks. Life is unpredictable; how will one cope when unexpected hardships or job losses occur?
38. If you constantly try to please others by reading their expressions, you will eventually find yourself lost and directionless.
39. Admitting mistakes and repenting may cause temporary embarrassment, but it is the first step toward rising again after a fall.
