01

In fact, people are the same as trees, the more they yearn for the sunshine in the heights,

The more its roots reach into the dark underground.

People who strive for excellence and success often need to put in hard work in unseen places.

Just as trees must take root and absorb nutrients in order to grow into the sun, people need to put in hard work and bear unknown challenges behind the scenes in order to achieve their ideals and goals.

02

Those who cannot obey their own commands must be commanded by others.

The more its roots reach into the dark underground.

Those who are unable to self-dominate and self-manage can only accept the domination and orders of others in the end.

We should have autonomy and self-management, otherwise we will become an appendage to the will of others.

03

There is no purpose in life, only a process, and the so-called ultimate purpose is nothing.

We should focus on our lives and experiences in the present moment, rather than clinging to an empty ultimate goal.

04

Don't forget. The higher we fly, the smaller our image will be in the eyes of those who cannot fly.

When we achieve higher or perform well, we may be envied or despised by those who fail to reach the same heights.

05

All good things are tortuously approaching their goals, all straightness is deceiving, all truths are crooked, and time itself is a circle.

True success and good things are often not achieved directly and simply, but gradually approached the goal through a tortuous and complex process.

The passage of time in the world is also often manifested as cycles and repetitions, such as the fact that many experiences and lessons in life may be repeated in different forms at different stages.

06

To empathize with others is to make others feel ashamed by treating them as weak. For the loved one, we should train him and make him improve, this is true love.

If parents merely feel sympathy for their child's failures instead of providing practical guidance and encouragement, the child may feel ashamed and not given a chance to grow.

Instead, true love should be one that encourages children to face challenges, learn new skills, and support them along the way so that they can keep improving and improving.

07

A person needs a friend because he can't be alone. As long as a person needs a friend, he is less likely to be a friend—because that need reduces others to an object. Only those who can be alone can be a friend. Friendship is not his need, but his joy; It wasn't his hunger, but the abundance of love he wanted to share.

If a person relies too much on friends to fill the emptiness in his heart or to satisfy needs, then his need for friends may devalue friendships.

People who are able to think and live independently are more able to approach friendships with a healthy mindset and share each other's happiness and interests, rather than relying on friends to solve their own emotional needs.

08

Those who do not want to die of thirst among the people must learn to drink from every cup, and those who want to be clean among the people must know how to wash themselves with dirty water.

People cannot expect everything to develop according to their ideals in life, but need to find a way to survive and grow in an imperfect environment.

09

If you want to go to a high place, use your own two legs! Don't let others lift you up to a high place; Don't sit on other people's backs and heads.

True success and achievement should rely on one's own efforts and abilities, rather than relying on others or taking advantage of others' achievements.

Only through their own efforts and struggles can people truly achieve the heights and goals they want.

10

Indeed, man is an unclean river. We must be the sea to contain an unclean river without polluting itself.

The impurities and deficiencies of man's heart are like an unclean river, and only when we become a vast sea, that is, with sufficient tolerance and a strong heart, can we contain these uncleanness and not be polluted.

True maturity and greatness lies in being able to accept and tolerate the flaws of others with a broad heart without being affected.

11

Are you entitled to free yourself from the shackles? There are many people who, once liberated, lose their last bit of value.

A person leaves a retained work environment and gains freedom, but may feel lost and lost if he does not have a clear goal or value pursuit after leaving.

12

Man is a rope tied between an animal and a superman. That is, the rope above the abyss. It is dangerous to walk through, it is dangerous to stop in the middle, it is dangerous to tremble, and it is dangerous to stop.

Human existence is a difficult walk between animal instincts and superhuman ideals.

In the face of this state, any action is fraught with risk: progress can lead to failure, stagnation can lead to regression, and indecision can lead to difficulties.

13

There is no relationship that hides loneliness. All relationships are so weak and fragile. You know deep down that even when you're in a crowd, you're with a group of strangers. You're a stranger to yourself.

Even when active in interpersonal interactions, a person may feel lonely at certain moments, as the surface of these relationships often obscures the true feelings inside.

True emotional fulfillment requires a deeper level of self-understanding and authentic emotional connection.

14

One must first learn how to love oneself so that one can live comfortably with oneself and not wander around.

It is only when one truly learns how to love oneself and how to live in harmony with oneself that one can find true peace within oneself without relying too much on external things or others to fill the emptiness within.

15

I want to show them how the spirit becomes a camel, how a camel becomes a lion, and finally, how a lion becomes a child...... The child is innocent and forgetful, a new beginning, a rotating wheel, a primitive action, a divine affirmation.

From "camel" to "lion" to "child".

The "camel" symbolizes the stage of bearing heavy burdens and traditions, and is expressed as patience with the burdens of the outside world;

The "lion" symbolizes rebellion and the awakening of self-consciousness, manifested as a challenge to authority and tradition;

The "child" symbolizes innocence and rebirth, manifesting itself as a new beginning and the creation of new values.

16

The eyes are very symbolic. They are part of your body, but they are also the windows to your soul. When your soul becomes serene, peaceful, and joyful, there is a depth, clarity, purity, and innocence in your eyes. They become so transparent that you are able to see a person's soul.

The eyes are not only a part of the body, but also a window into the inner world.

When a person's heart is filled with peace, harmony, and joy, their eyes appear deep, clear, and pure, and this transparency allows others to feel their true interior.

17

The height is not terrible, the slope is terrible!

The heights symbolize goals and achievements, and they can be difficult but can be achieved if we work hard to overcome them.

However, slopes symbolize continuous, ever-changing challenges and uncertainties, and they are not as clear and controllable as steep heights.

The danger of slopes lies in their instability and test of persistence, and they can lead to constant struggles and dilemmas.

18

Man should hold on to his heart: because if he lets it go, soon his mind will lose control!

In relationships, controlling one's emotional responses can help maintain good communication and relationships, and if a person is unable to control their emotions during an argument, it can lead to escalating conflict and damaging the relationship.

19

Almost everyone considers themselves virtuous. Because you give some relief to a beggar, are you virtuous? Have you ever wondered why there were beggars in the first place? You exploit people, and then you create beggars, and then you give only a small part of it – and then you become the most virtuous person.

True virtue should focus on the root of the problem and not just superficial handouts.

20

People who don't believe in themselves are always lying.

Self-confidence is the foundation of personal authenticity and integrity, and people who do not believe in themselves end up falling into the trap of hypocrisy and lies.
