71. Life is full of diverse flavors, and imperfections are inevitable. Contentment brings true freedom. Never doubt your own life, avoid comparing your happiness to others, and do not complain about your misfortunes. A peaceful mindset is essential for an ordinary life. Everyone is unique; do not lose yourself in jealousy or envy, and do not waste the journey of life.
72. That deep green lake, that scattered sunlight, that small pier. They are memories—shadows of heartache that cannot be erased, quietly lingering in the depths of the years, accompanying me through lonely times. Looking back, you stand at the center of my heart, warmly yet cruelly stripping away my youth. I faced those unusual times, both strong and fragile, walking through solitude and depth from the first memory to the present. But you are long gone, no longer by my side.
73. Walk your own path as you wish; let others speak as they please. If your circles differ, there is no need to waste words; if someone lacks character, there is no need to argue. That is the world: you may do well and go unnoticed, but if you do poorly, everyone will complain. You may do a hundred good deeds without praise, but one bad deed will draw everyone's criticism.
74. You said you only needed me to stay by your side, but now, I cannot find you.
75. Many strive for wealth but disdain small earnings, hoping only for big fortunes. They wait for significant capital before starting a business, only to end up with neither. It is best to start from "small change."
76. Many people spend the most time in their lives finding various ways to waste them.
77. Every effort yields a harvest. When you worry about money or see peers surpassing you, you might feel a sting of pain and wonder: "Why am I not as good as others?" I can only tell you: you haven't worked hard enough. As long as you put in the effort, you will get what you want. Laziness is the behavior of a coward.
78. Yet you never give up, believing that once combined with cement, you will exert infinite power.
79. Among brothers and nephews, one must distinguish between those who need more and those who need less.
80. A fair face like a lotus is but a skull with flesh.
81. People must have a sense of responsibility and mission. As we become the pillars of society, remember to lend a hand to the youth. Even if you cannot help them succeed, do not kick them when they are down. Your small act might change the course of a person's life.
82. One lie requires ten more to cover it up. Conscience is the most impartial judge; you can deceive others, but you cannot deceive your own conscience.
83. Not everyone who reaches a result is successful, nor is everyone without a result a failure. My life experience has taught me that success lies in the process. Looking back, the joy is not in crossing the finish line, but in the journey. The result is merely a bonus—if it's good, you've gained; if not, it doesn't matter.
84. Do not reject busyness, for it is fulfillment; do not complain about setbacks, for they build strength; do not choose silence, for it is a form of harm!
