There are a thousand kinds of possessions in the world

There are a thousand kinds of possessions in the world, but there is one most precious possession. You may not be aware of this possession, do not feel its value, with the passing of the years, countless spring, summer, autumn, and winter, in your life one day, when you look back, only to find that you no longer have. It is not the status, nor the money, but the lost youth.  There are many kinds of losses in the world, but there is a kind of loss that is very helpless, it makes you regret, at the cost of a lifetime, even if you have the power of return, but also can only look up to the sky and sigh, feet pounding chest. It is not power, nor is its beautiful but priceless youth.  Youth is a kind of other enviable capital. With a strong body, you can hold up a blue sky; with strong energy, you can reclaim a magical land; with great potential, you can become outstanding, another person impressed.  Youth is a precious treasure, but the old man of time treats it as the most accurate equalization, giving each person only one point. Regardless of your dignity, wisdom, foolishness, and wealth, you can only have once in your life, so there are "flowers have a day to bloom again, no one is young again", "a hundred years is easy to pass, youth no longer comes".  When we came into this world, everyone carries an empty basket, but with every step we take, we have to pick up one thing from the world and put it in, so we feel more and more tired. Life does have too many sorrows. After all, it is impossible for people to be without feelings, impossible to leave the complexities of family, friendship, and love. But we do not run away from it because of the complexity of life, we still need to face it.  Life is short, time is limited. When life doesn't go as you want it to or not as you want it to, instead of just counting and complaining, you just keep doing what you should be doing as always and keep a calm mood towards life. "How far can people go?" This is not to ask about two feet but to ask the ambition; "How high can people climb?" This question is not about hands but will. In the short life, we can not lose the three beacons of life: self-confidence, courage, and perseverance, in the ground, belongs to their hard work, who can deny that tomorrow is not a harvest day? One day, your hard-working hands will dress their lives in colorful, perhaps you let the failure hit the unbearable, but which one of the successful people has not experienced failure? Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is to give in and fail. Every successful person is a failure as a starting point, even in the starting point can not hold on to the people, how to talk about the long distance? You know, do not go through the storm, how can see the rainbow?  No need to complain that life gives too many trials and tribulations, no need to complain that life has too many twists and turns. If the sea loses the tumbling of the waves, it loses its majesty; if the desert loses the dancing of the flying sand, it loses its grandeur; if life only seeks two points and one line of smooth sailing, life loses its charm of existence. Even if you have a hundred things that are not as good as you want them to be, you have a thousand reasons to be bitter and complain, but there can not be a reason to give up the ideal and the pursuit. Because you are after all young, beautiful youth is still firmly in hand, hope belongs to you, the sun belongs to you, the world belongs to you!  Maybe life is relentless sometimes because people who work hard are not always successful, but those who succeed are hard-working, so even if it's a one-in-a-million chance, don't give up lightly.  I like the saying: winter is here, can spring be far away? And often say to me: even in the cold winter, I see the magnificence of spring. Life is like four seasons, spring is hope, summer is magnificent, autumn is fruitful, and winter is reflection. Please grasp the spring, walk through the summer to harvest the autumn, and test the winter.  There is only one life, we have to cherish; there is only one life, we have to struggle with!
