Low point period

A long life without troughs has its own period

What was that sentence said?

Knowing that there is nothing one can do about it but taking it as fate allows.

The Tao Te Ching states that the ordinary are the movement of the Tao, while the weak are the application of the Tao.

The general meaning of this sentence is that the development of all things must go through a process of unity of opposites. When any thing reaches its peak, it will eventually reverse and once again come to its own side of unity of opposites.

Through experience, one gains wisdom and becomes a person.

During the low point, it is also the best time for a person to rise from the ashes and be reborn.

Place oneself in the weakest position, hide one's sharpness and wisdom, refrain from desires and reflect on oneself.

A gentleman keeps his talents within himself and waits for the right moment to act. So, I don't want you to take things as they come.

I want you to forge ahead in the face of difficulties, to be rebellious and unruly, to show your prowess in front of others, to cultivate in a place where no one is paying attention, and to emerge in the spotlight of all.

I want you not to be indulged in the past and rise to the top early. I want you to temper yourself into steel and win battles!
