In this world, people are simply fates, relationships, hearts, or true. Passing by glances are passersby; unyielding bonds are family; fluctuating connections are friends; life and death are inseparable are companions; when you understand each other, you can be love. No matter what relationship, don’t add decorations, just give a little warmth, enough. When it’s windy and cloudy, a word of concern, in a long stream, a remembrance; when you’re frustrated and confused, a little comfort; when you’re poor and desperate, a helping hand; when you’re lonely and helpless, a helping arm; when you’re slumped and disappointed, you’ll never leave.
People can be poor, but hearts can’t be poor; the energy in the heart is inexhaustible; body can be damaged, but the heart can’t be damaged; the health of the heart is inexhaustible. In terms of quantity, you can tolerate dissatisfaction, in terms of doing things, you must have humility and submission, in terms of career, you must have a selfless attitude. Following fate is not drifting with the waves, but cherishing the present, the present is not in another place, but in the heart, a moment of thought.
Stimulate yourself every day. Don’t let the alarm clock wake you up, but a great dream; don’t let others be the ones to reject, but your immature self. Don’t let poverty be shameful, but a failed attempt to succeed; don’t let your shoulders carry more pain, but cultivate your composure. Don’t let frustration be sour, but rich experience. Don’t let darkness come, but dawn is rising.
