Wang Zhiwen has a very classic line:

“I no longer argue with others now,
because I’ve begun to realize,
that everyone can only consider problems from their own perspective.
Having money allows you to do things well,
without money, you can only do people well.
Your kindness to others,
is like a piece of candy,
once eaten, it’s gone,
and your unkindness is like a scar,
that will always remain.”

You stand on the hillside, seeing a dense forest.
He stands on the mountain top, seeing a vast sea of clouds.
Neither is wrong, just different positions; why bother convincing each other?

Do good deeds without expecting rewards, because the return is not up to you.
And the bottom line of being a person must be maintained, because reputation is built by yourself.

The world is big, and human hearts are complex.
Your happiness cannot be fully shared by others.
Your pain, others also find hard to truly share.
Only by lowering expectations,
can you harvest unexpected warmth.

When you have money, let your strength speak, and handle things properly.
When you lack money, let your character speak, and stand upright.

The ultimate maturity is to learn to pass through others’ worlds gently.
Not to agree, but to respect.
Not to understand, but to tolerate.
When your inner strength is enough, you no longer need external validation to prove yourself.
Control yourself, and don’t pass judgment on others…
