Even if you are unhappy, do not disrupt the happiness of others. Even if you experience failure, do not slacken. Everything in the world is impermanent and even though you have failed, things would change if you are persistent and make relentless effort. 即使自己不快乐，也不要打扰别人的幸福；即使自己再失败，也不要懈怠。 世事无常，懂得坚持，即使失败了，相信经过努力，也会改变。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5 […]
Do not attempt to predict or make assumptions about the future; it is most important to look at the present.

Take good hold of the […]
