Don't Envy Others' Brilliance, Don't Resent Others' Success
Time is not all-powerful. With an empty mind, one is free from the constraints of all things; a mind free from entanglement, sitting is graceful, walking is graceful, thus born is elegance. An elegant person is beautiful to the eye and soothing to the heart, truly captivating. Beauty is a natural gift; extravagance lies outside, a radiant heart within is eternal beauty.
Don't envy others' brilliance, don't resent others' success. Behind every dazzling achievement, there's pain and the melting of hard work. Brilliance and success are simply the endings of things; action and process connect the lines of our lives. To achieve more brilliance and success, you must have unwavering determination before action, resilience during struggle, and courage after defeat. Success is ultimately overcoming oneself.
To live a truly fulfilling and easy life, you must work incredibly hard. After all, no one's days fall from the sky; any desired beauty must be grasped with effort.
Anything that can be taken away is not worth clinging to. There are so many situations that feel like they're going to consume you; so many times you feel like you're about to break. They will gradually improve; even if slowly, as long as you are willing to wait, they will become the past. Everything and everyone will become the past; we must learn to detach and retreat, no matter how difficult.
