Life is a process of subtraction, urging us to seize every moment. Don't wait, and don't accumulate regrets. It's not that young hearts can't retain their youthful spirit, but rather that the passage of years can evoke a sense of panic.

Imagine if those years were transformed into vibrant flowers; life would then be an abundance of beauty. After enduring hardships, a time for happiness will surely arrive. Continue to face the sun and patiently wait for the flowers to bloom.

Life is inherently beautiful, so why burden ourselves with unnecessary worries? If life doesn't seem to favor you, remember to treat yourself with kindness. On windy days, we must learn to dance with the wind. Life isn't about rushing; it's about feeling the road beneath our feet.

May everything be as you wish, and may joy fill your days. On this ferry of time, we are all merely passers-by. Learn to smile and walk with your heart. Strive to live your life well. There will be moments of panic, but also times of profound peace—each with its own unique flavor. With sincerity, work hard, and live fully.

There will always be unexpected warmth in life, and everlasting hope. Embrace life's imperfections and be tolerant of its difficulties. When you face life with a smile, life will surely smile back at you. Try to be the best version of yourself. Encounter each day slowly, for all good things are on their way.

Life becomes truly interesting when you expand your horizons.
