If a person does not want to climb, he is not afraid to fall, and he does not have to engage in internal strife and exclusion. He can keep his innocence, become natural, and devote himself to what he can do.
4.上蒼不會讓所有幸福集中到某個人身上，得到愛情未必擁有金錢。
God will not let all happiness focus on someone, he who gets love does not necessarily have money.
擁有金錢未必得到快樂；得到快樂未必擁有健康。
Having money does not necessarily lead to happiness; being happy does not necessarily mean having health.
擁有健康未必一切都會如願以償。

好讀書，肯下功夫，不僅讀，還做筆記。
Delighting in reading, willing to work hard, not only read, but also take notes.
人要成長，必有原因，背後的努力與積累一定數倍於普通人。
There must exist a reason that some people develop well, and they must make efforts and accumulation several times greater than ordinary people.
所以，關鍵還在於自己。
So, the key lies in oneself.
6.我今年一百歲，已經走到了人生的邊緣，我無法確知自己還能往前走多遠。
I"m a hundred years old, and I"ve come to the brink of life, and I don"t know for sure how far I can go.
壽命是不由自主的，但我很清楚我快“回家”了。
The length of life can"t be determined by yourself,but I know I"m “going home”soon.
我得洗淨這一百年沾染的汙穢回家。
I have to clean up the filth I"ve had for a hundred years and go home.
我沒有“登泰山而小天下”之感，只在自己的小天地裡過平靜的生活。
I do not have the feeling of “climbing Mount Tai and seeing the world small ”, and I’m just living a peaceful life in my own small world.
