What we struggle with all our lives are just ordinary experiences.  Everything is unpredictable, so we need to stop struggling against the nature of reality.  Life does continually go up and down.  Recognize this to be real and true and you will be able to relax with things as they are.

Life revolves. You cannot go back one minute, or one day.  There is no use  marking time in any one position.  Life will continue without you, will pass you by, leaving you hopelessly out of steps with events.  That’s why you must engage life fully and maintain your pace.

The ancients were amazed at the harmony of natural laws, they reveal an intelligence of such superiority that, in comparison with them, all the systematic thinking of human beings is an insignificant reflection.  This understanding is all you need for guidance in your life.

An enthusiastic, delightful mood is helpful to your success but gives warning against self-satisfaction.  It is easy to indulge in one’s own pleasure and forget the delight of others.  The key is humility and sincerity; these two qualities bring harmony, the true meaning of delight.

Quote: I wish I had a Magic Wand!  If you did, what would you ask for?
