A Simple Mind: It Takes Years to Learn How to Speak, but Decades to Learn How to Be Silent
One, diligence leaves wisdom and strength for those who are diligent, but emptiness and regret for the lazy.
Anything can become simple if it is willingly undertaken, without complex excuses or justifications.
Some things should be picked up, some should be discarded. Because only by ending what should end, and starting what should be started, can things truly begin.
Don't get too close to anyone too quickly, thinking you've finally found a kindred spirit because of initial agreement. Language is often false; shared experiences are the real test.
Not all perseverance yields results, but some perseverance can cultivate ten thousand blooming roses from a single inch of frozen land.
We are all nearsighted, often ignoring the truest emotions closest to us. We are all far-sighted, blurring the immediate happiness around us.
When faced with people who don't respect reason, don't argue with them; when faced with those who lack gratitude, don't bother with them; when you can't handle someone, avoid them. When small matters arise, don't dwell on them; let them pass.
Human nature is like this: self-deprecation shows weakness, lack of love leads to infidelity. Your showy displays only prove your inner weakness and don't prove anything worthwhile.
Time is the cure for all grievances. One day, you'll look back and realize that things you once held onto with bitterness have become trivial, and barriers you once found insurmountable have shrunk to nothing.
Don't get something if you can't get it; what you lose may not be the most valuable. What you have now may not be your dream, but it's truly yours.
If you don't cultivate and sow, even the richest soil won't produce crops; if you don't strive and create, even the most beautiful youth will bear no fruit.
It takes decades to learn how to remain silent, while learning to speak only takes a few years.
A mind of letting go brings serenity; a calm heart brings composure; a compassionate heart brings good deeds; a grateful heart brings happiness; a mind of karma brings understanding; a forgiving heart brings joy; a detached mind brings equanimity; a mind of practice brings wisdom; a plain heart brings purity; a self-aware mind brings clarity.
When you are not yet strong and excellent enough, don't spend too much precious time on socializing; spend more time reading and improving your professional skills. Abandon useless socializing and focus on self-improvement; your world will become bigger.
People who always smile really need someone to care for them. Since you've already hurt someone in the past, don't waste potential future hurts,
Life is like a savings account; every bit of effort you invest will eventually be returned to you. What others have, you can attain if you're willing to put in the effort.
Life is often like to tease us. It shows a spark of hope when you're desperate, and it unexpectedly shakes you when you're calm, preventing you from becoming too complacent,
Reality is like a mud pit; some choose to sink and stagnate, while others cross the pit and look towards the distance. If you want to escape the mud pit, you must strive to be outstanding.
Don't expect, don't imagine, don't demand, let it happen naturally. If it's destined to happen, it will.
Don't be anxious because of others' feelings; don't get nervous if someone is unhappy; don't apologize for others' sake, softening yourself; don't sacrifice yourself for others' happiness; don't be stupidly kind, and don't let yourself be exploited,
Don't have a sea of expectations, even with continuous effort, it's difficult to make results; don't be easily upset because of a little setback, and don't be distracted by the smallest things; don't get obsessed with the trivial, don't spend all your time on useless matters,
Don't be anxious because of others' feelings; don't get nervous if someone is unhappy; don't apologize for others' sake, softening yourself; don't sacrifice yourself for others' happiness; don't be stupidly kind, and don't let yourself be exploited,
