The 7 life philosophies go like this:

💚 Your cup of coffee is a big help in running my blog 💚
Buy me coffee please ~ ^_^ buymeacoffee.com/Eva

“Humans should fear getting a reputation as much as pigs should fear getting fat”

Don’t get cocky just because you’ve become a bit famous.
Always live humbly.

“Don’t recklessly walk across a snow-covered field”

You never know if your path will serve as a guidepost for those who follow, so don’t just wander about a snow-covered field carelessly.

“Bamboo roots spend 5 years growing”

Thinking only about growing upwards,
a tree can easily be snapped by a minor wind.
For a tree and its trunk to be strong, its roots must be solid first.

“Read a good book at least three time”

When reading, prepare three pens: black, blue, and red.
Good books should be read at least three times while taking notes.

“To go a hundred miles, consider ninety just halfway”

Life is always in progress, never complete.
Even if you think you’ve done well so far,
act as if you’re only halfway there and don’t slack off, keep pushing.

“Stay hungry, Stay foolish”

There’s nothing more dangerous in life than thinking you’ve succeeded while you’re still young.
Like Steve Jobs, always be hungry and always be foolish,
always ready for what’s next.

“Getting older doesn’t mean getting wiser”

The older you get, the more things you have to work on and the more you have to learn.
Even as you age, you must tidy up your heart every day
and continue learning to become wiser.

If you’re in need of strength, courage, comfort, and healing in life, it would be great if you could share my blog and follow it please
