Here are ten things you need to know before it’s too late:

1. This moment is life.

Your life is not the period from birth to death. It exists between now and your next breath. The present - this moment - is all the life you have. So, please spend every moment richly, kindly and peacefully, without fear or regret. And make the best of what you have now. Because this is what no one else can expect, including yourself.

2. Human life is actually not long.

This is your life and you should fight for it. Fight for what is right, fight for what you believe in, fight for what is important to you, fight for the people you love, and don’t forget to tell them how much they mean to you. Realize that you are lucky now because you still have the power to choose. So stop and think for a moment. Those things that need to be done, start doing them now. There are always many tomorrows.

3. Today’s sacrifices will be rewarded in the future.

When working hard toward a dream—earning a degree, building a career, or other personal achievement that requires time and commitment—you need to ask yourself: “Am I really willing to live through the years when most people won’t? Live a life that no one else has for the rest of your life?”

4. When you start procrastinating, you become a slave to yesterday.

But when you are proactive, yesterday is like a good friend who laid down a burden for you. So do something now that your future self will thank you for. Trust me, tomorrow you will be happy with what you did today.

5. Failure is just a lesson.

Good things always happen to those who still have hope even if they are disappointed, who still believe even if they fail, and who still want to love even if they are hurt. So don't complain about what's going on in your life. It cannot be changed, destroyed, or forgotten. Take it as a lesson and move on with grace.

6. You are your most important relationship.

Happiness is when you feel good about yourself and don’t need to feel the permission of others. Before you can have a healthy relationship with someone else, you must first have a healthy relationship with yourself. You need to accept yourself and recognize yourself, and then you can see the confident you in the eyes of people around you and communicate with them.

7. Actions illustrate facts.

You will meet many people in your life who say the right thing at the right time. But in the end, you usually have to judge them by their actions. So pay attention to what they are doing. Their movements will tell you all you need to know.

8. Small friendly gestures make the world a better place.

Smile at people who look like they’re having a bad day. Be nice to them. Friendliness is an investment that never fails. And wherever there are people, there are opportunities to be friendly. Learn to give, even just a smile, not because you are rich, but because you understand that there are many people who feel like they have nothing.

9. Behind every beautiful life there is unknown pain.

You fail, rise, make mistakes, live, and learn. You are just an ordinary person and cannot be perfect. You'll be hurt, but you'll be alive. Think about how precious it is to be alive - to be able to breathe, think, love, and pursue the things you love. Sometimes your journey may be sad, but there are also many beautiful scenery. Even if we are injured, we have to move forward step by step, we never know what is waiting for us around the corner.

10. Time and experience heal pain.

When I asked my grandmother how to overcome pain a few years ago, she told me this: Look at those circles at the bottom. The black circles reflect our current life experience. Mine are larger because I'm older and I've been through a lot in my life. Smaller red circles reflect the negative parts of our lives. Let’s say we experience the same exact thing, whatever it is. Notice that our negative circles are the same size; but also note the percentage of the black circle they occupy. Your negative event appears larger because it occupies a larger proportion of your overall life experience. I do not mean to diminish the importance of this event. I have a simple view on this. What you need to know is that events in your life that are happening now that may be overwhelmingly painful will in the future be just part of your larger past and not nearly as valued as they may seem.
