(55) New Analects

(1) If you want to make a difference, you should break through all hidden nets and liberate yourself. Otherwise, nothing will be accomplished.

(2) The biggest tragedy in life is the lack of a sense of competition. "No quarrel with the world" is a soft knife that stifles hard work and creativity.

(3) Ability is the basis for people's survival, and talent is the driving force for social development. Without skills, people cannot survive, and without talents, it is difficult for society to develop.

(4) Paying the will and energy for the ideal, but not necessarily succeeding. Because there are still limitations in opportunities and capabilities. Even if you fail, you have no regrets -- after all, you have not wasted your time.
