Avoid Self Pity
🧠🛑💡 All these years I’ve kept reminding myself of one thing: Never let yourself be moved by your own efforts. What most people see as hard work is often just the result of foolishness. // 这些年我一直提醒自己一件事情，千万不要自己感动自己。大部分人看似的努力，不过是愚蠢导致的。 Zhèxiē nián wǒ yīzhí tíxǐng zìjǐ yī jiàn shìqing, qiānwàn bù yào zìjǐ gǎndòng zìjǐ. Dàbùfen rén kànsì de […]
Walk The Talk
💪🛠️🧠 Listen, if one day you’re going to tell others to dig a ditch, you should know how to do it yourself first. // 听着，如果有一天你要告诉别人挖沟，你应该知道如何自己动手。 Tīng zhe, rúguǒ yǒu yītiān nǐ yào gàosù biérén wā gōu, nǐ yīnggāi zhīdào rúhé zìjǐ dòngshǒu. // Thính trứ, như quả hữu nhất thiên nhữ yếu cáo tố tha […]
Tea Philosophy
🍵☯️🌿 Tea exists in only two states: sinking and floating. The one who drinks it has only two gestures: picking up and putting down. Life is like tea: sinking with calm acceptance, floating with quiet ease, and know that whatever you can pick up, you must also be able to put down. // 茶不过两种姿态，浮、沉；饮茶人不过两种姿势，拿起、放下。人生如茶，沉时坦然，浮时淡然，拿得起也需要放得下。 Chá […]
Grace Under Pressure
🤐👁️🤝 Seeing someone clearly yet not exposing them, you’ll understand the meaning of forgiveness. Disliking someone yet not showing it on your face, you’ll grasp the deepest form of respect. In life, there will always be things you can’t stand, and people who can’t stand you. // 看清了一个人而不揭穿，你就懂得了原谅的意义；讨厌一个人而不翻脸，你就懂得了至极的尊重。活着，总有你看不惯的事，也有看不惯你的人。 Kàn qīng le yīgè rén ér bù […]
Two States
🧠☯️😌 Two states of being in life: knowing, and contentment. Know what you truly want, and be content with what you already have. // 人生两个境界：一个知道，一个知足。知道自己想要的，知足自己拥有的。 Rénshēng liǎng gè jìngjiè: Yī gè zhīdào, yī gè zhīzú. Zhīdào zìjǐ xiǎng yào de, zhīzú zìjǐ yǒngyǒu de. // Nhân sinh lưỡng cá cảnh giới: Nhất cá tri đạo, […]
Valid Emotions
😤📝✨ So what if I hold a grudge? It’s completely is normal. Why shouldn’t I? Not seeking revenge is already the greatest kindness I can offer. // 记仇怎么了，记仇很正常，为什么不可以记仇？不报仇已经是我最大的善良了。 Jìchóu zěnme le, jìchóu hěn zhèngcháng, wèishéme bù kěyǐ jìchóu? Bù bàochóu yǐjīng shì wǒ zuìdà de shànliáng le. // Ký cừu chẩm ma liễu, ký cừu […]
Ancient vs Modern
😔⏳🏮 In ancient times it was so much better. Bear too much pressure and you’d become a demon, a god, or a devil. But in modern times, bear too much and you just become mentally ill. // 古代真好，承受太多压力就会成妖、成神、成魔；而现代，承受太多就会成神经病。 Gǔdài zhēn hǎo, chéngshòu tài duō yālì jiù huì chéng yāo, chéng shén, chéng mó; ér xiàndài, […]
Family Struggles
😔🏚️💔 A poor person’s family of origin is essentially a psychiatric ward: A father who is hot-tempered and incompetent, a mother who does nothing but weep and wail, children who are insecure and anxious, elders who are greedy and selfish, and relatives who never stop meddling. // 穷人的原生家庭，其实就是精神病院；父亲暴躁无能；母亲哭哭啼啼；孩子自卑焦虑；老人贪婪自私；亲戚指手画脚。 Qióngrén de yuánshēng jiātíng, qíshí jiùshì jīngshén […]
No Judgment
😂💅🗳️ If you’re beautiful, you should vote for me. If you’re not, you definitely should vote for me! // 如果你长得美，你应该来给我投票。如果你长得丑，更应该来给我投票！ Rúguǒ nǐ zhǎng de měi, nǐ yīnggāi lái gěi wǒ tóupiào. Rúguǒ nǐ zhǎng de chǒu, gèng yīnggāi lái gěi wǒ tóupiào! // Như quả nhĩ trường đắc mỹ, nhĩ ưng cai lai cấp ngã […]
