Pretense of Enlightenment, Without Enthusiasm in Speech
Mountains don't explain their height, nor does the sea explain its depth, nor does the earth explain its thickness; yet they stand tall in the clouds, contain boundless rivers, and remain the foundation of all things. Low-key living is about maintaining a calm and accepting attitude towards the world.
The saddest thing in life is to have great ambitions but waste your time; to feel you're not smart but procrastinate; to think your education isn't impressive, yet fail to continue learning in your spare time; to be dissatisfied with yourself while comforting yourself with 'I'll do it later';
Appreciating others is a state of mind; being kind to others is a broad heart; caring for others is a virtue; respecting others is a cultured quality! People who deceive me have broadened my understanding; those who scorn me have strengthened my abilities; those who slander me have tempered my character; those who despise me have awakened my self-esteem; those who rebuke me have enhanced my wisdom; those who abandon me have taught me independence; those who harm me have honed my will.
Pretending to be enlightened, without enthusiasm in speech; enduring insults, without showing anger; observing others' faults, without revealing them; accepting others' kindness, without remembering it; receiving others' favors, remembering them; gaining fishing skills from others, learning to fish oneself; recognizing talents and entrust them to those in power; skillfully advising people, only when you are tolerant, greatness is achieved.
