An old man in Japan who lived frugally all his life and saved tens of millions for retirement felt deeply regretful after his wife passed away because he had never enjoyed life well.
Money is important, but memories and companionship are more priceless.
While you are healthy and able to move around, don’t forget to use your money to create quality time.
Knowing how to save and spend is the true financial freedom.
Kindness is a virtue, but if it is given to the wrong person, it becomes a shackle.
We often hold umbrellas for others, but forget that we are also getting wet in the rain.
If the other party never understands and only takes your efforts for granted, the relationship will lose balance.
The truly worthy person will pull you into the umbrella when you are soaking wet, rather than letting you face the entire storm alone.
The most precious companionship is not an expensive gift, but the willingness to make time for you.
I can become very free for you, reply to your messages immediately, and answer your calls at any time, just because you are important.
I am always there when you look for me, not because I have nothing to do, but because you are worth me giving up everything else.
As long as you are here, I will never be busy.
When a relationship makes you feel irritated and uneasy for a long time and you cannot improve it through your efforts, leaving may be the best option.
It's not because the other person is bad, but because you have become bad in this relationship.
Healthy relationships should bring growth and peace, not exhaustion and depression.
Learning to leave is the greatest fulfillment and protection for yourself.
Maturity is not about suppressing emotions, but knowing how to express them properly at the right time, facing difficulties rationally and proactively solving problems.
A man's childish behavior is often a display of relaxation towards the person he trusts, and does not mean he is immature.
True maturity is the ability to coexist peacefully with oneself and others. When only one side in a relationship demands "maturity, stability and making others happy", it will only cause imbalance and ignore the fact that the other party is also a person who needs emotional value.
Maturity should be a process of mutual understanding and growth for both parties.
I have always been able to distinguish the difference between "liking" and "loving", and even though I have had many physical relationships, I always confessed them in advance.
What I yearn for is the old-fashioned love that can last a lifetime, with true devotion and never giving up.
Even though I am often hurt and misunderstood, I still believe that there is always someone worth waiting for and worth my all-out love.
I am often asked whether I will publish another book.
I don’t have any definite plans to publish a book at the moment. After all, the types of articles I write are too broad. After I have accumulated enough articles of each type, I may release multiple e-books at once and consider making them into audio books.
When you are at the lowest point in life, those who are willing to believe in you and encourage you are the real benefactors.
People who always like to belittle you are often just a projection of their inferiority complex and there is no need to keep them in your life.
People who are truly worth making friends with can make you feel comfortable and confident.
Remember to help others and good luck will come back to you.
When you meet someone who is chronically negative, you should be honest with yourself about your ability to handle it. If you cannot handle it, you should keep your distance to avoid emotional friction on both sides.
In the early stages, you can listen patiently and give neutral advice, but if the other person has no intention of changing and complains repeatedly, you should clearly express your refusal to become an emotional trash can.
Only by walking with people with positive energy can you go further and have a better life.
The main reason I bought this house in Yilan was because it had a small garden, which is what I have told my guests over the years that this is the kind of residence they have been pursuing. In front of the house is the vast, unobstructed countryside, and in the distance you can see the magnificent mountains.
This place is very convenient, with beautiful scenery, chirping insects and birds. I have decided from the beginning that this is where my children will rest in peace.
