Disappointments are like road humps①, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don’t stay on the humps too long.
Move on!
When you feel down because you didn’t get what you want, just sit tight and be happy. When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There’s a purpose to life’s events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
You can’t make someone love you; all you can do is to be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person your worth.
The measure of love is when you love without measure. In life there are very rare chances that you’ll meet the person you love and loves you in return. So once you have it don’t ever let go, the chance might never come your way again.
It’s better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride. We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting② the love we give.
When you truly care for someone, you don’t look for faults, you don’t look for answers, and you don’t look for mistakes. Instead, you fight the mistakes, you accept the faults, and you overlook the excuses.
Never abandon③ an old friend. You will never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine; it gets better as it grows older.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1). Free your heart from hate. 2). Free your mind from worries. 3). Live simply. 4). Give more. 5). Expect less.
No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

活得快乐的原则
失望就好像路拱一样,会使人走得慢一点。但随之而来的,是更平坦的道路。 请别待在路拱上太久呢!
永不放弃!
每当你为得不到想要的东西而感到沮丧的时候,请稍安毋躁。不论是好是坏,只要是发生在你身上的,请用心想一想。生命中每一件事都有其目的,而且最后总是叫你感到欢悦,并非伤心。
你不能迫使别人喜欢自己。相反,你只需成为一个值得别人去爱的人, 其余的就随遇而安吧!
衡量爱的唯一方法就是不要去衡量。人的一生中很难才踫到互相爱慕的对象,所以,要是你遇到了这个人,请千万要珍惜,因为机会是可一而不可再的。
为你所爱的人放下小小的自尊,总好过为了所谓的自尊而失去所爱的人。我们花了太多时间去寻寻觅觅,或在鸡蛋里挑骨头。取而代之,我们应该多花心思去修补自己付出的爱。
只要是真心爱一个人,你不会计较对方的缺点,亦不会凡事要求解释,更不会在意对方有什么过失。相反,你会替对方的每一个过失而辩护,接受对方所有的缺点,不再需要任何形式的借口。
好好珍惜你的老朋友,因为你会发现没有任何人可以取代他们。 友谊就好像酒一样,愈久愈醇。
请记住以下五项令人活得快乐的原则:1). 多宽恕;2). 莫忧愁;3). 活得平凡;4). 只问施予;5). 不问收获。
虽然谁都不能返回从前重头再来,但我们可以由此刻开始,改变自己,过新的生活。
