Prepare for the Worst, Maintain the Best Attitude
Everything is cyclical, everything is dependent on circumstance. The sky is round, the earth is round, and all things cycle endlessly, connected by cause and effect. Everything is ultimately without inherent meaning; the beginning is also the end, and the end is a new beginning. There is no original starting point, therefore no present ending. Old things don't disappear; new things don't come. '' () represents cause and effect; cause and effect is a circle. Don't be arrogant due to success; failure brings suffering, and those who suffer cannot achieve completion. Don't be disheartened by loss; sadness is injury, and those wounded cannot find their way back to wholeness. Maintain a calm heart, embrace '' (everything is dependent on circumstance), and accept the natural flow for complete fulfillment.
The path isn't under your feet; it's in your heart. Fate isn't a matter of waiting for opportunities; it's a matter of choice. Those who turn a bend straight, are intelligent because they find a shortcut; those who take the straight road in a curve are wise because they can appreciate more beautiful scenery. Walk further, see more beautiful scenery, and experience a fuller, broader life.
The most precious thing in life is to consciously live every day, rather than drifting through life like a dream. Life is like a cup of tea; an empty cup allows for endless enjoyment. Hold the biggest hopes, make the greatest effort, prepare for the worst, and maintain the best attitude. Remember what you need to remember, forget what you need to forget, change what you can change, and accept what is as it is. The sun is always new; every day is a good day.
Life is about change; sometimes it's painful. Don't blindly compare yourself to others, and you'll find happiness always with you. Don't set your life goals too high, and you'll be happy. Don't strive for perfection unnecessarily, and you'll avoid suffering. Don't constantly demand too much from yourself; this will allow you to live freely. Don't always criticize and find fault; this will allow you to relax and enjoy life easily.
