Imagine that life is a game of catching five balls in the air. You name them-work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you keep them all in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit-are made of glass. If you drop one of them, they will inevitably be worn, marked, notched, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.
You must understand this and try to keep a balance in your life. How come?
Don't devalue yourself by comparing yourself with others. Because we are different, each of us is special.
Don't take what others think is important as your goal. Only you know what suits you best.
Don't take for granted what is closest to your heart. Hold on to them as if they were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers just because you live in the past or the future. Live every day, and you will live every day of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are not perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.
Don't be afraid to encourage adventure. It is through taking risks that we learn to be brave.
Don't say it's impossible to find love, shut it out of your life. The quickest way to get love is to give; The quickest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it a pair of wings.
Don't let life pass so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to be appreciated.
Don't be afraid to study. Knowledge is weightless, it is a treasure that you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be recovered.
Life is not a race, but a journey worth savoring every step. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is unknown, and today is a gift ... That's why we call it now.
Imagine that life is a game of throwing five balls into the air. You name these five balls: work, family, friends and mind. You should try not to let them fall. You will soon know that work is a rubber ball. If you let it fall, it will still bounce back. However, the four balls of family, health, friends and mind are made of glass. If you let them fall to the ground, they will inevitably be worn, marked, scratched, broken or even shattered. They will never be the same again.
You must understand this truth and try to keep the balance of your life. But how can we do it?
Don't belittle yourself by comparing with others. It is precisely because we are different from each other that everyone is special.
Don't set them as your goals just because others value them. Only you know what suits you best.
Don't take the people closest to you for granted. Cherish them as if they were your life, because without them, life would be meaningless.
Don't let your life always pass by in nostalgia for the past or meditation on the future. If you live every moment, you will live a wonderful life.
Don't give up when you can still give. Anything is possible as long as you don't give up.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are not perfect. It is through this fragile filament that we are closely linked.
Don't be afraid of danger. It is in adventure that we learn to be brave.
Don't shut up your heart on the pretext that true love is hard to find. The quickest way to find love is to give it to you; The quickest way to lose love is to hold on to your love; The best way to maintain love is to give it wings.
Don't run through your life in such a hurry that you forget where you have been and where you are going.
Don't be afraid to study. Knowledge will not be a burden, but a wealth that you can easily carry.
Don't idle away your time, don't talk nonsense. Time and words cannot be taken back.
Life is not a race, but a journey worth savoring every step. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is unknown, and today is a gift: that's why we call it now.
