Rise

Life is a journey, and everything—whether rich or poor—ultimately fades away like a passing cloud. In this one life, some say you are excellent, while others say you are merely ordinary. Some say you are sincere, while others say you are hypocritical.
In this world, you cannot please everyone, nor can you ensure that people are satisfied all the time. Be true to yourself, act without fear; if your heart is like the sun, the world will be peaceful. As you grow older, treat yourself kindly; life is not easy, so cherish every moment.
Life is just a process; nothing is eternal. Life is always unpredictable, and even the most beautiful things cannot be possessed forever, while even the most painful experiences will eventually fade away.
Master Hongyi once said: "Life is like the setting sun in the western hills; wealth and honor are as fleeting as frost on grass. Life is merely a passage, and there is nothing that cannot be let go of."
Life is a process that drifts further away after each gain and loss. The emotions and fame you cling to are merely illusions of self-awareness, like a fleeting dream. When you wake from the dream, everything is empty.
Everyone's growth experiences are different, and the choices made along the way create unique lives. The poor have their way of living, and the rich have theirs. No matter how you have lived, as long as you can live the life you desire, that is enough.
Regardless of how you live, there will always be people who criticize you—some say good things, while others say bad. One person cannot represent the hearts of a hundred, and a hundred people cannot agree with one.
Everyone views the world from their own perspective. Just because others say you are good does not mean you are, and just because they say you are bad does not mean you truly are; it is merely a matter of differing viewpoints.
Living a lifetime means striving to be true to yourself. As long as you are true to your heart, you need not be overly concerned with others' evaluations; what you need to do is be your genuine self.
Life is all about attitude. With the right mindset, everything will be fine. If your heart is facing the sun, there is no need for sadness. If you are warm-hearted, gentle breezes will come your way. Be kinder to yourself, for life is short. Be kinder to those around you, as we do not know if there will be another life.
Life is not easy; only you know the warmth and coldness you feel. The remaining days are not long, so treat yourself well. Be a simple person, avoid entanglements with others, and appreciate nature. In the days to come, may you be happy and healthy; as for everything else, just let it be.
