Life is a process of transformation. Only by experiencing various trials can you enrich your life. Only by confronting these trials repeatedly, and engaging in numerous contests, can life experience be accumulated and enriched.

Living in this world, we inevitably encounter troubles of all kinds. These troubles continually torment our hearts and cause unease. Especially during our formative years, we often feel helpless when faced with various pressures.

This is likely the nature of existence. If you cannot change the world, then you must change yourself. By viewing the world from a different perspective, you will find that all "torture" is, in fact, the "fresh oxygen" that fosters your growth.

At life's crossroads, choosing a smooth path might offer a comfortable and enjoyable youth, but it forfeits the opportunity to gain valuable experience. Opting for a challenging path may fill your youth with pain, but it allows you to discover life's true meaning.

Behind every triumph lies effort poured out in sweat and tears. Flowers that have not endured wind, frost, rain, and snow can never yield abundant fruit. We may be accustomed to envying others' success, but let us not forget that greenhouse flowers are destined to wither under life's harsh tests.

Therefore, a successful person, a person of vision and insight, will be grateful for the people and circumstances that challenge them. Only by facing life with this attitude can one achieve true success.
