Do Not Be Merry Because of External Things; Do Not Mourn Because of Internal Affairs
So anxious, feigning anger; hot issues, cold handling; dare to confront, avoid confrontation; don't start trouble, be prepared for it; take the straight path, detour around the hardship; tired of hard work, know how to rest; prioritize tasks, handle urgent matters; past mistakes, no regrets; present issues, avoid comparison; what you get, you lose; what you lose, let it go; when you're in a favorable position, don't forget your form; when you're unsuccessful, don't be sad; always be lenient with yourself, have a good mood; often confused, long-lasting joy; put in your all, maintain a calm attitude;
The clarity of water isn't because it's free of impurities, but because it understands how to settle; the transparency of the heart isn't because it's free of distractions, but because it understands how to choose and let go.
Life needs to be tempered, it needs enough time for reflection to become better; life needs accumulation, only by looking back often can you elevate yourself through savoring gains and losses and bitterness. Looking forward is ambition, looking back is result, is correction. Many things, if you look back in hindsight, you can do better; many people, if they can look back, they can have what they want. Looking back, the road behind also writes the road ahead.
Use a simple mindset to face a complex life, you can calmly accept losses, enter the world with composure and grace, dispel the fog and embrace the clear sky. As your heart becomes simpler, the world becomes simpler, and happiness will be generated. Learning to be simple can escape worldly distractions, let the tide rise and fall, worldly troubles, I remain at peace. Simple is the pureness of clear water; it's the serene simplicity of the heart; it's the way of life that people embrace with ease, not swayed by things, not saddened by oneself, simple like Zen.
