Whoever You Look Down on Today May Be Unable to Handle Tomorrow
People's hearts aren't broken by grand failures, but rather exhausted by repeated disappointments.
True inner strength lies in living within your own world, not in the eyes and words of others. Manage your own affairs, and let others' judgments fall on you. Life is about laughing at others and then letting them laugh at you.
Don't talk about a long future; there are so many 'once-in-a-lifetime' encounters.
Life is tiring, half due to survival, and half due to comparison. We often live not for ourselves, but for 'face'.
Let those who come, come; let those who go, go. Allowing things to happen naturally is the greatest gift to life.
Thirty years come and go, thirty years come and go; never look down on anyone, for the person you look down on today may be the one you can't handle tomorrow.
Life doesn't need to be overly calculated: wealth and poverty are always present, appearances are pleasing or not, age, health, wealth, and harmony are all good; understanding who is right or wrong is good; and peace and safety are the most important.
Most missed opportunities are due to lack of persistence, effort, holding on, and then convincing ourselves that it's fate.
Temper is what you send out—it's your character. It's what you bring back—it's your skill. True masters of life never let emotions control them.
Flies don't sting blank eggs; persimmons always squeeze the softest ones. If you don't want to be deceived by bad people, be independent, self-respectful, and strong.
You are still young and romantic; you can worry about money, appearance, and physique, but don't compromise your feelings.
Time is the key to maintaining a relationship; there are no two perfect people, only those who adapt and get used to each other through continuous (mo-hua - honing).
As we grow older, we become less skilled at considering others' feelings; we carry our egos and cry with our souls.
You should love someone who motivates you, not someone who exhausts you, even though feelings are beyond our control, we still need to be clear-headed.
