Lei Feng’s inspirational motto:-

I would like to be a pine on the mountains and rocks, not a willow on the lakeshore and riverside. I would rather train myself in the storm than spend my life in calm days. Treat other people's difficulties as your own difficulties, and regard your comrades' happiness as your own happiness. Nails have two strengths: one is squeezing power, and the other is drilling power. In our studies, we must also promote this "nail" spirit and be good at squeezing and drilling. Human life is limited, but serving the people is unlimited. I must devote my limited life to unlimited service to the people. A drop of water will never dry up until it is put into the ocean. A person can be most powerful only when he integrates himself with the collective cause. Anyone who plays games with life will accomplish nothing; anyone who cannot master himself will always be a slave. A single flower cannot make a beautiful spring day. Only when one person takes the lead can one move alone. Only when many people take the lead can the mountains be moved. Human life is limited, but serving the people is unlimited. I must devote my limited life to unlimited service to the people. Youth is always beautiful, but true youth only belongs to those who always strive for the top, those who always work selflessly, and those who are always humble. Anyone who only thinks of the people and not himself will surely gain high honor and prestige. On the other hand, if there is only a person in mind and no people, they will be cast aside by the people sooner or later. I would rather be a pine on the mountains and rocks than a willow on the lakeshore or riverside. I trained myself in hard struggles in storms and did not want to spend my life in calm days.
