Either forge your own path or follow the crowd

It's not that I don't want to speak, but there are many things I can't say, and it's safer to keep them to myself. If the heart dwells on grievances, it's full of complaints; if the heart is relaxed, it's always springtime. Whatever you face, if you've come this far, persevere, give yourself affirmation—you're stronger than you imagine.

Harmony without being swayed, tolerance without compromise, cautious without hesitation, lively without frivolity. Not defeated without giving up, not proud without humility. Not discouraged by setbacks, not despairing of failure. Brave without recklessness, self-reliant without self-deception, criticism without offense, praise without flattery. Confident without arrogance, correcting without overcorrecting. Persistent without stubbornness, strong without domineering.

The best time is on the journey; the best life is elsewhere. Go out and explore this world alone, and you will eventually meet your best self. Mindset determines your perspective on the world, and action determines your state of survival. To live with dignity and extraordinary achievements, you must change your mindset and dare to fight against fate!
The way to walk is either to venture alone or to follow others. If you choose the former, you may be stranded, encounter obstacles, and bleed profusely, potentially giving up halfway or suffering endless consequences, but you are the protagonist of your own story, allowing you to experience different circumstances and appreciate unique landscapes. If you choose the latter, you'll be safe, steady, and comfortable, but you might linger and survive in the eyes of others, shuffling along with the crowd in the mundane world. Both choices have their merits, it depends on whether you're willing to choose.
