Don't think of yourself as someone special, and don't underestimate others.

    The most pitiful people in the world are those who live in painful memories of the past, constantly tormenting themselves.

   Time flies, and as the saying goes, "There's only one me in the world, a unique me. If you lose me, you won't find me even if you search on Baidu. Maybe you're awesome, but I might not care about you!" In a world of heroes, masters clash, and there's always someone stronger. True masters fight three rounds before each other. Therefore, without experiencing a period of loneliness, obscurity, darkness, and unbearable hardship, one cannot claim "heaven rewards diligence." Proximity breeds advantage;

   books are the wellspring of human civilization's evolution. Don't judge people too harshly; a little ignorance is bliss. Water that's too clear has no fish, and a person who's too discerning has no followers. There's no need to exploit your friends to protect your own interests. If you remove all the quills from a hedgehog, how can it defend itself against hunters or escape human pursuit? What is lost on one front may be gained on another. Having lost its precious thorns, it gained the protection of its companions!

   The character for "person" (人) is shorter than the Chinese character for "big" (大), so it's prone to selfishness and pettiness; it's shorter than the character for "individual" (个), lacking a supporting point, so it's prone to vulnerability. Therefore, our lives are inevitably filled with bumps and stumbles. We will encounter setbacks and make mistakes. But we must acknowledge our mistakes, correct them, and persevere in the face of difficulties. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth; true knowledge comes from practice. Principles are meant to be put into practice, not

   just empty words! Don't overestimate yourself, nor underestimate yourself. Don't think of yourself as someone special, and don't underestimate others. How you see others today is how they will see you tomorrow! Similarly, words spoken are like spilled water—they cannot be taken back. Regret is inevitable, and the boat of friendship has capsized. This boat capsizes easily. A broken door can be repaired, but a broken heart, like crumpled pieces of paper, cannot be soothed.

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

    Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself.      When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought.      After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
