Is Slow the New Fast?
If there's a shortcut to success, the fastest one is to take it slow. It's not that we lack excellence, but rather that we're too anxious—anxious to prove ourselves to others and the world. We'd do better to take things one step at a time. The more you desire to make a name for yourself, the more patient you should be.

Does Money Define Us, or Reveal Us?
When you have money, don't spend it recklessly, and when you have no money, don't talk recklessly. Money is not only a mirror that reveals emotions, but also a touchstone of human nature. When you have money, you are always surrounded by all kinds of friends and acquaintances. Everyone has a smile on their face and speaks all kinds of flattering and ingratiating words. At that time, we may feel that the world is so beautiful and human relationships are so unbreakable.

Power in "I Don't Want"
A super powerful mentality: I don’t want it anymore. When I told myself, 'I don’t want it anymore,' I felt relieved at that moment.

Everyone will experience this and say to themselves, 'I don’t want it anymore!'

Women, Peace, and Self-Acceptance
The reason why many women don't live a 'good life' is largely because they feel they are competing with the whole world: with themselves, their partners, their parents, and their children. This is often accompanied by internal friction and tension all day long.
