A Wise Person is Simple in Small Matters but Insightful in Great Ones
A truly wise person is modest in small matters but astute in big ones, low-key but with eyes like a mirror, and acts with the gentleness of water, overcoming strength with softness. Only those who seek not to compete, can ultimately win and become the true victor.
A person's ability to heal themselves is stronger, the more likely they are to approach happiness. Be a person who is quiet but has a vast sea of heart, doesn't harm others or hurt oneself, finds peace in tranquility, and lives freely.

Don't dwell on things you can't get, avoid negative things, life isn't worse than wind and rain, so don't add more sorrow for yourself.
Some things can only be done by oneself. Some connections can only be walked alone. Some roads can only be walked alone.

Don't listen to others' faults, don't look at others' shortcomings, don't speak of others' mistakes.

What should come will come, what should go will not stay. Without forcing it, without striving, there is no need to worry too much, let go of your attachments, and live by fate.
What should come will come, will leave behind. Don't force it, don't strain, just let it go when the wind blows.
Give others space, and give yourself room. 'Don't hoard all gains, don't hoard all blessings, don't use all power.' This world doesn't belong to anyone, it belongs to everyone. Therefore, always leave room for others. 'A broad mind is a spacious world, and it can carry others.' A little more tolerance leads to a little more understanding, and a little more kindness leads to a little more hope. It's beneficial for both people and oneself; it allows others to move forward, and prevents oneself from falling into a dead end.
Often, we aren't unhappy because we are focusing on the unpleasant aspects of things. Business successes talk about pressure, a relaxed job talks about a lack of prospects, a childless person talks about not meeting a suitable person, and a person with an unsuitable partner talks about it being unsuitable. Happiness is like a football, kicked back and forth. Troubles are like trophies, impossible to put down. What we have is something to cherish. Learn to enjoy the present moment, and that's happiness.
Don't sacrifice yourself for others' sake, change yourself. You are unique, you are precious, you are beautiful. Love yourself well.
When your passion fades, you'll find that those who once obsessed over it have become insignificant.
When you have negative emotions, don't speak, sometimes silence is a state of being.
Crying is for oneself, laughing is for others, this is life. Even if you are not happy, don't disturb others' happiness, this is a principle.
Life isn't about compromise. The more you shrink back, the less space you have to breathe. Life isn't about settling. The more humble you are, the further happiness is from you.
Adjust your mindset when needed. When life goes wrong, savor the bitter and sweet moments of fate. When life is thriving, listen to the magnificent music of life. Many people's failures and pain are not because they can't get out, but because they can't come back. Only by controlling unrealistic desires and constantly reinforcing your small boat, can you live a tranquil life.
If you want to become a better version of yourself, go and see a bigger world, meet more wonderful people, and absorb more knowledge. You don't need others to praise you, because you know yourself well. Inner strength is always stronger than outer appearances.
Too many thoughts and concerns will prevent you from moving forward. Think carefully, is it yourself who has trapped you, or is it yourself who has put a cage around you?
Attachment is a burden, letting go is liberation. There is no perfection, and happiness is not 100%. You don't need to have everything, why ask for so much?
Walk the right path, let go of your heart's desires, make friends with those with no ambition, break away from those with no purpose, drink clear and pure tea, avoid colorful wine, and close your mouth from gossip.
