Explanation Although you are getting older, your ambition should be stronger. How can you change your mood when you are old? Although the situation is difficult, one's integrity should be firmer and one should never abandon one's ambition.

From "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" by Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty

Original text

It is better to be strong and strong when you are old, why would you rather move your heart with a white head? Be poor and strong, and don't fall into the clouds.
