Discussing "patience"

   Why are people so eager to try? Why are they so impatient for success? In truth, true success and glory lie hidden behind patience. Patience is a state of mind, a wisdom, a spiritual essence, accumulating astonishing power. Being with patience is painful, but patience is not about compromising; it's a great river flowing forward. The joy born from twists and turns is the true joy of life. Many things in life will pass if you endure them, find peace if you calm down, and regain composure if you think about them. Truly remarkable people are not those without worries, setbacks, or exceptionally lucky; they are those who can endure even the most bitter and difficult times. The more patient a person is, the greater their potential. Only   those who can endure loneliness can enjoy prosperity.   Life only offers brilliance through action, not glory through waiting. Success in life is never achieved through the cheers and applause of others. It is achieved through silent effort. Silent ...

One shouldn't be too obedient.

   In life, you can't be too obedient or too accommodating to others. You can refuse to do things you don't want to do; don't force yourself to do things you can't do; don't force yourself to do things you can't do. Your life isn't for pleasing others; you must learn to treat yourself well. If you   don't like what you hear, you can pretend you didn't hear it, or let it go in one ear and out the other; don't take it too seriously. Don't try to please people who don't like you; our enthusiasm shouldn't be given to indifference. Don't make things too difficult for yourself with work you don't want to do; you'll be unhappy and exhausted. Also, don't accept kindness from people you don't love; learn to refuse to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.   In life, you can't be too obedient; you must have your own opinions and your own way of living.   Understand that life is your own; you must have your own opinions and...

The lonely fate of twenty-three people

 "To dispel loneliness is, in fact, to perpetuate it. Loneliness is nature's curse upon those who live in groups; solitude is the only escape from loneliness." This is a line from *One Hundred Years of Solitude*. I love this line, and I love even more the loneliness of each individual in this book. This book is considered a literary peak of magical realism during the Latin American "literary boom." The story is bizarre and convoluted, with complex relationships between characters. The century of solitude spanning seven generations and the twisted love are awe-inspiring; every plot point evokes a bone-chilling desolation. Aureliano Buendía's wife died young. He launched thirty-two uprisings, all of which ended in failure. He fathered seventeen sons with seventeen women, all of whom were eliminated overnight. He survived fourteen assassination attempts, seventy-three ambushes, one execution by firing squad, and one poisoning attempt, yet he still miraculously ...

Frosty flowers are more beautiful

          Life has no second chance, so cherish this one! Feelings wait for no one; missing out is a lifetime loss. Health waits for no one; illness strikes like a landslide. Time waits for no one; there's not much left. Life waits for no one; before we know it, we're old! We always foolishly wait for tomorrow, for the future, for what's to come. Waiting and waiting, the opportunity is gone; waiting and waiting, we grow old; waiting and waiting, life is left with only regrets! There is a kind of pain called irreparable; there is a kind of regret called irreparable; there is a kind of self-blame called regret for the past; there is a kind of guilt called deep remorse! Only after losing loved ones do we cherish that warmth; only after losing friends do we miss that companionship; only after losing fate do we yearn for that connection. It turns out that many things are gone forever. Life only happens once, there is no next time! Life is too short, too short to...

Everything you have is the best.

   In life, we often unleash our worst temper on our loved ones, while showing gentleness and kindness to strangers. Yes, as we grow older, we drift further away from them.   There was a time when we complained that our parents didn't give us good looks, that we didn't have the carefree lives of other children, and that those around us were ignorant and foolish. Gradually, we became impatient with conversations, feeling the whole world owed us a decent explanation. When we have such thoughts, we shouldn't rush to deny ourselves. We just need to temporarily process these emotions and then think about these issues carefully from a different perspective.   We don't know the real situation behind our complaints. While we complain about our country's policies, other countries are still engulfed in war; we complain that our parents didn't give us a good life, that they worked hard and couldn't afford to spend a penny; we complain about the ignorance and foolishnes...

The blooming and fading of flowers is youth.

   Spring has come and gone again, autumn has arrived once more, and the lilacs in the schoolyard have bloomed and faded.   Looking back,   I realize that in the blink of an eye, youth has once again played out a beautiful scene of blooming and fading in my life. I still remember stepping into the gates of junior high school, I was just an innocent, naive little girl; I still remember our first junior high exam, our scores differing by a few points; I still remember the defiance on your face; I still remember the excitement and pride I felt when I won first place…   Deep within my memories, those still vibrant fallen petals are the dance of life, each one bearing the imprint of youth. Life grows in another way.   I will never forget that small school campus, that tiny playground and the so-called "botanical garden" corridor beside it, that little house exuding a faint fragrance, and the group of carefree, laughing teenagers at the end of the corridor, and the lovely smiles of...

Harm (for women)

   I don't know when it started, but many people enjoy joking about other people's physical defects, and this has become commonplace. The indifference and apathy of some people tacitly condone its existence.   Seizing upon a physical flaw and using the guise of jokes to repeatedly hurt others is, in essence, a form of bullying, which can have varying degrees of impact on many women.   Walking down the street, I often hear comments like, "That person's chest is so small," "Look, that person is so fat," "Sigh, that nose is so flat..." Perhaps it's just a casual remark, but the speaker may not mean anything by it, but the listener takes it to heart. They might not show it at the time, but it always hurts.   Being called "flat-chested" because of small breasts, "fatso" because of obesity, or "tomboy" because of excessive body hair—what a humiliation this is for a girl! Older people might just take it as a joke and ...

Parting is for a better reunion.

   I've heard the poignant farewells expressed in the poem, "Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon." I never imagined that one day, I too would face such a separation…   From elementary to high school, living not far from home, I never truly understood the tears in my parents' eyes, their repeated admonitions, and their unfulfilled concerns when they saw their children off on their journeys. I always thought that finishing high school meant we were grown up, able to pack our bags, drag our suitcases, and head off to distant places to meet the future. But as the seemingly long holidays passed by, I couldn't help but count down the days until our departure. It felt as if the days were gradually quickening, and an indescribable sadness welled up inside me, like a tadpole lost and disoriented, a child without direction… Looking at the familiar faces at home, the neatly arranged furniture, and the joyful scenes o...

Yearning for the Sky

 I imagine the cool of a midsummer night. I stroll through the open fields, listening to the gentle rustling of the breeze. I feel as if I can sense musical notes being blown about, drifting and falling, guided by hyacinths, carried into the dreamland of a wanderer. I know that it is a gentle harbor in the real world, a haven from the wandering souls of dreams. Where there is love, warmth, and hope, it will eventually become a sacred paradise, where holy angels will be on duty. The croaking of frogs fills the air, and the night seems shrouded in mist, obscuring the brilliant starry sky, making it dim. A strange, chilling feeling creeps in from outside the window, suffocating me, making me tremble. At this moment, I yearn even more for the pure blue sky, for the white clouds dancing like willow catkins, for the fiery sunset. The clouds are as tender as a baby's cheek, their tenderness shimmering with an orange-yellow glow—a trace of the first stirrings of life, a testament to the pa...
