The Most Influential Person in Your Life Is Yourself

In life, we often encounter situations where some people, when they want to hold on, can't; some things, when we want to avoid, can't be avoided. Life is always like this, hopes are often not fulfilled, and disappointments often come to hand. So we are disappointed, sad, and lament the reasons why life is so unsatisfactory and why fate is so unfair.

Some people are originally very happy but seem troubled; some people are originally troubled but seem happy. Many people think that happiness always surrounds others, while sorrow always clings to oneself. Often, the scene you see is: when you look up and envy others' happiness, you turn your head and find yourself being looked up to and envied by others.

As you reach a certain age, you must learn to be silent and reserved. Every word must have meaning and weight. Maintain composure, treat major matters with calmness, and adhere to your own moral principles.
The people who have the greatest influence on your life are yourself. It is you who decides whether you are happy or unhappy. Nothing can make you happy unless you allow it. Nothing can make you unhappy unless you allow it. No one can take away your joy or excitement. The person who takes it away is you, because you build your excitement on others.
