When someone comes to hurt you with a knife, they'll only bring one. Giving in and showing forbearance will only bring you more harm. When you've accumulated enough disappointment, you'll no longer have hope.

If you can't keep something, learn to let it go. What belongs to you should be actively fought for; what doesn't belong to you should be decisively given up. The one who hurts you never wants to help you.

What truly makes you grow are pain and reflection. The experience itself holds no special meaning; what makes it meaningful is your strength. Your kindness must have a sharp edge.

Remember this message: Love yourself.

May you be strong and brave on the road of life.
