Life is like a boat, unsteady and uncertain; life is like hemp, intricate and delicate.
Life is a hundred years long, fleeting like a moment. Life doesn't bring, death doesn't take. All encounters, joy or sorrow, are determined by one's own heart. The more you see clearly, the more you let go, the more everything appears like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water—beautiful to behold, but never lasting. Rather, live with joy and openness, don't let sadness consume you, and don't wander aimlessly. Embrace what comes, letting go of everything with joy as your guide. Life is but one lifetime, defined by one's state of mind.
No matter how strong a person may be, there's always a soft spot within them. Life is like a boat, swaying uncertainly; life is like hemp, with countless strands. It's in these seemingly insignificant moments that we discover life's most beautiful scenery—a calm and composed heart, a wise and clear mind. Life's greatest luxury is a youthful spirit, an unwavering belief, a healthy body, a love that lasts, a free mindset, a job you enjoy, a comfortable sleep, and a beautiful appreciation for life.
In life, success can crumble and fade away, and it's all dependent on choices. Protecting what's precious brings love, spending wisely brings wealth, letting go of small profits brings friends, letting go of regrets brings happiness, letting go of frowns brings harmony, letting go of indulgence brings health, letting go of worldly concerns brings a carefree attitude, and letting go of small desires—then you will gain. Where there is giving, there is receiving.
