Ambition is the soul of a person!

If one's ambition is high and far-reaching, then even when trapped in thorns, the heart still faces the sun; if one's ambition is low and shallow, then even when at ease on a brocade seat, one is still like a withered tree.

A hundred years of life pass like a fleeting horse, in the blink of an eye.

If one renews oneself daily, and strives for improvement day by day, then mountains can be moved and seas can be filled; however, if one is content with the status quo and becomes lazy about small achievements, then stones can rot and wood can decay.

A gentleman in the world should set lofty ambitions, hold a heart that reaches for a thousand miles, work tirelessly, and not be discouraged by setbacks. When in poverty, one should become more resolute; when in hardship, one should become more diligent; this is how one can overcome countless difficulties and achieve great success.
