One More Strike, One More Experience of Resistance
If you don't know where to go next, just do your current tasks well. Everything you're currently experiencing is the result of your past thoughts and actions. Everything you will possess in the future is determined by your present gestures and movements. Don't waste the present moment in anxiety and worry, because all your concerns are only self-torture and have no meaning. Don't miss the opportunity to change everything because you're indecisive, as this is the only moment you can grasp.
We shouldn't think we're the master of the world, and there are other mountains out there. Believing you're the center of everything will lead to ruin. Learn to hide your strengths, be less noticeable, and play a supporting role. When you shield someone from view, be prepared for a hidden arrow from behind. Don't be overly demanding of people and things; use your wisdom to observe people and things. Sometimes maintaining a proper distance is the best protection for yourself.
More setbacks in life lead to more insights. More falls lead to more experiences of resistance.
Kindness is a virtue, but it shouldn't be your weakness. People are drawn to those who simply say 'thank you' without expecting help. If you're overly generous, they'll become entitled. Once you learn to say no, they'll be disappointed. Learn to have your own temper and maintain a certain attitude; 'gentleness' is simply about who you're dealing with.
