Time and Reality Tell Me

When you are rich, don't look down on others,

When you are poor, don't look down on yourself,

Whatever you do,

You must put your conscience first,

You should know that character is the most precious thing in a lifetime.

Time and reality tell me that,

Heaven won't drop pies for you,

To be happy, you must work hard,

To pursue success, you must give everything,

The hardships and tiredness you experience now will become what you want later on.

Time and reality tell me that,

This society is too complex, and people are hard to measure,

Your kindness doesn't have to be given to everyone,

When you should be ruthless, you should refuse,

Don't let your kindness hurt yourself.

Time and reality tell me that,

Don't point fingers or speak badly about others,

There is no perfect person in the world,

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses,

Guard your mouth, walk your own path,

Live your own life, and be simple and happy.

Time and reality tell me that,

Life is short, and life is fleeting,

You should cherish everything you have now,

The size of the house doesn't matter, as long as it's livable,

The amount of clothes doesn't matter, as long as they are wearable,

Money is just something outside the body,

As long as your family is harmonious and healthy,

Everything else is unimportant!
