1. Only by going through hellish hardships can one develop the power to create heaven; only by bleeding fingers can one produce the ultimate sound in the world. ——Tagore

2. No matter what you are going through, please don’t give up easily, because persistence will never be let down. Whose life is not a journey of thorns? Life will never be easy, nor will it always be stable. As long as you work hard, you can be a unique, ordinary and valuable self.

3. There is no so-called genius in this world, and there is no reward for nothing. Behind every glamorous person you see, there is shocking effort. Please believe that your potential is far from being unleashed. Don’t set limits on your own life. What you think is your limit is just the starting point for others.

4. No matter when you start, the important thing is not to stop after you start; no matter when you end, the important thing is not to regret after it ends.

5. The suffering you suffer, the losses you suffer, the responsibilities you bear, the sins you bear, and the pain you endure will all turn into light in the end, illuminating your path.

6. Hard work may not equal success, but the hard work of chasing your dreams will help you find a better self, a quiet self that works hard to enrich you.

7. Life is fair. Even if you suffer a lot, as long as you persist, you will definitely gain something. Even if you fail in the end, you will gain experience that others do not have.
