3. There are two kinds of people in the world. For example, if you get a bunch of grapes, one kind will choose the best ones to eat first, and the other will eat the best ones first. The breeder saves the best for last. As usual, the first kind of person should be optimistic, because every time he eats one, he is eating the best of the leftover grapes; the second kind of person should be pessimistic, because every time he eats one, he is eating the worst of the leftover grapes. However, the opposite is true. The reason is that the second type of people still have hope, while the first type of people only have memories.

—— Qian Zhongshu's "The Besieged City"

4. Fate is always not what people want. But it is often in countless pains, contradictions and hardships that people mature.

6. People can never know what they want, because people can only live once, and they can neither compare it with previous lives nor compare it with previous lives. It cannot be corrected in the next life. There is no way to test which choice is good because there is no comparison. Everything is experienced immediately, only this time, and cannot be prepared. The long journey leads to a destination.
