1. Don’t care too much about other people’s opinions. Instead of changing yourself into something you don’t like in order to cater to other people’s eyes, don’t go find some like-minded friends who appreciate you. You only have one life to live for yourself.

2. I am not mellow enough and will not deliberately cater to people and things I don’t like. I didn't realize that I needed to change for this circle.

3. The conscience of intellectuals cannot be catered to by the marketization and bureaucracy of university education.

4. The best way to be a person and do things is: not deliberately. Not deliberately self-expression, nor deliberately indifferent to fame and fortune; not deliberately catering, nor deliberately arrogant; not deliberately chasing fashion, nor deliberately being outstanding. If so, you will not be tired, entangled, or disappointed.

5. Don’t be obsessed. There are many dissatisfactions in life. The world will not cater to you. The earth does not rotate for you, so don’t be obsessed with possessions. Even we are just passers-by in the world of mortals. We come here naked. What can death take away?
