16. 心态不好的人，要么气焰嚣张，得意忘形。要么战战兢兢，自惭形秽。这样的人生，容易吃情绪的亏，生活也是一片狼藉。

16. People with a poor attitude are either overbearing and elated, or trembling and ashamed of themselves. Such a life is prone to suffer from emotional losses, and life is also in disarray.

17. 逆境，对弱者是一种打击，对强者却是一种激励。逆境之所以出人才，是因为人能够正视生活中的种种困难，有迎刃而上的精神，有坚持不懈的意志。逆境是块磨刀石，它能磨砺出奋发向上的意志和百折不挠的精神，逆境是所学校，人能在这里学到丰富的人生知识。

17. Adversity is a setback for the weak, but an incentive for the strong. The reason why adversity brings out talents is that people can face all kinds of difficulties in life with a spirit of overcoming challenges and an unwavering will. Adversity is a whetstone that can hone the will to strive upwards and the spirit of never giving up. Adversity is also a school where people can learn rich life knowledge.

18. 生活中挫折是在所难免的，重要的不是绝对避免挫折，而是要在挫折面前采取积极进取的态度。勇敢面对艰险，不怕挫折，这是一种积极心态，更是人生必修课。

18. It is inevitable to face setbacks in life. The key is not to absolutely avoid setbacks, but to adopt a positive and proactive attitude in the face of adversity. To bravely confront difficulties and not fear setbacks is a positive mindset, and it is also a mandatory course in life.

22. 《红楼梦》的好了歌窥破了世相：不管是王侯将相，金玉满盆，还是娇妻美妾，儿孙绵延，最后不过是镜花水月一场空。

22. The "Goodness Song" in "Dream of the Red Chamber" reveals the illusion of the world: whether it be kings and nobles, or filled with gold and jade, or with a beautiful wife and concubines, or descendants extending for generations, in the end, it's all an empty dream as fleeting as mirrors and water flowers.

23. 世界是自己的，和他人无关。不要严苛自己，与他人一比高下；也不要随波逐流，不思进取，安于生命的平庸。

23. The world belongs to oneself, and has nothing to do with others. Do not be harsh on yourself by comparing with others; neither should you be carried away by the current, not thinking of making progress, and being content with the mediocrity of life.

24. 人之一生，顺境有可能是逆境，而逆境才是修行的顺境。在顺境当中积福，在逆境当中消业，把一切境都当作逆境来磨练，来修行，逆流而上，逆风飞扬。切记，梅花香自苦寒来，在顺境中修行，永远不能成佛！

24. In one's life, prosperity may turn into adversity, and adversity is actually the favorable condition for cultivation. Accumulate merit in prosperity, eliminate karma in adversity, treat all conditions as adverse to practice and refine, strive against the current, and soar against the wind. Remember, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitterness and cold, and cultivation in prosperity will never lead to enlightenment!

25. 愿我们在修行中精进，心态正，心气平，心欲少，做最好的自己。

27. There is a saying in the Buddha realm: "If this body is not saved in this life, when else will it be saved?" On the path to success, we must be able to endure the comprehensive torment from the physical to the spiritual, and only then can we "achieve enlightenment through countless rebirths." With patience, many difficulties can be overcome, and even many seemingly hopelessly lost causes can be brought back to life. To embrace suffering as we would embrace happiness, our lives will become more vibrant and精彩!

36. 大道至简，老子要求修道的人要“和其俗，同其尘。”人心态要平和，修道要往天人合一处修，人要顺应自然规律。修道之人一般化的生活易有，道法自然，人道如水好平好往低处流，只不过人不可乱挪移，生活低了待注平就行。

36. The great way is to be simple. Laozi requires those who are cultivating the path to "harmonize with their customs and blend with their dust." The mindset should be peaceful, and the cultivation should aim for the unity of heaven and man. People should follow the laws of nature. For those cultivating the path, an ordinary life is easy to attain. The Tao follows nature; human nature is like water, which is good at smoothing and flowing downward. However, people should not be haphazard in their movements; if life is low, just ensure it is balanced.

37. 不管自己处于什么境地，都能心平气和地面对事情，从容不迫地经营人生。

37. No matter what situation one is in, they can calmly and peacefully face things and calmly manage life.

38. 道既是万物的本源又是万物存在的规律，道中有各个门的道，对于人，人的道，有执一聚合防散，做人要自然，人的言行要象水那样趋平润下，物质中的信息能量都有聚散的特性，物质同化作用明显，做人强者有强者的优点，做人，弱者有弱的优势，强者聚人气的多，弱者散人气的多，老子觉得做人宁弱勿强，他在《道德经》中集中了许多弱者的生存智慧，象“无为无不为”象“上善若水”即是，老子强调宁弱勿强意在求安适，物过易破易裂易坏无什好，安然守常很重要。

38. The Tao is both the origin of all things and the law of their existence. Within the Tao, there are various paths of the Tao, and for humans, there is the path of humanity. This path involves holding onto unity, preventing dispersion, and being natural in one's actions. A person's words and deeds should be as smooth and flowing as water. Information and energy in matter have the characteristics of gathering and dispersing, and the process of assimilation in matter is pronounced. Those who are strong have the advantages of strength, while those who are weak have their own advantages. Strong individuals tend to gather more vitality, while weak individuals tend to dissipate more vitality. Laozi believed that it is better to be weak rather than strong. In the "Tao Te Ching," he concentrates many insights into the survival wisdom of the weak, such as "wu wei (effortless action) and wu wei (not doing anything at all)" and "the highest good is like water." Laozi emphasizes being weak rather than strong in order to seek comfort. Things that are too easy to break, crack, or decay are not very good. It is important to maintain a tranquil and usual state.

39. 我们没有必要争太多，节制欲望，简单生活，才能安享于岁月静好。

40. 一切都是内心的映照。心强大了，你的世界也会曼妙无穷。

40. Everything is a reflection of the inner self. When the heart is strong, your world will be full of enchanting possibilities.

41. 佛曰：逆境是增上缘。佛陀还告诉我们："十方三世一切佛皆以苦为良师。"没有苦不可能成道。如果一个人要想更坚强，应该接受逆境的磨炼；顺境不一定就好，逆境也不一定不好。在顺境中修行，永远不能成佛。在我们现在生活的世界，因为有苦，所以人会努力、思考、精进，才会思变，才会改变，才会领悟，这就叫因苦成佛。

41. The Buddha said: Adversity is a propitious cause. The Buddha also tells us: "All the Buddha in the ten directions and three times take suffering as a good teacher." Without suffering, it is impossible to attain enlightenment. If a person wants to become stronger, they should accept the tempering of adversity; a prosperous situation is not necessarily good, and adversity is not necessarily bad. Practicing in a favorable situation will never lead to becoming a Buddha. In the world we live in now, because of suffering, people strive, think, and strive harder, thus thinking of change, changing, and realizing. This is called achieving enlightenment through suffering.

42. 《尹文子·大道上》中说：“今世之人，行欲独贤，事欲独能，辩欲出群，勇欲绝众。”

42. According to "The Great Way" in "Yin Wenzi": "In this age, people strive to be uniquely virtuous, to excel in their endeavors, to distinguish themselves in debate, and to be braver than the rest."

43. 它们就在攀比中持续劳动，最后力竭而亡。

43. They continue to labor in the pursuit of comparison, ultimately exhausting themselves and perishing.

44. 什么都想高人一头，只会让自己陷于不得意的烦恼之中。

44. Wanting to be better than everyone else only leads to dissatisfaction and烦恼.

45. 南怀瑾说：“在生活中修行，在修行中生活。”

45. Nan Huaijin said, "Practice in life, live in practice."

46. 所以，学佛之人要乐于迎接人生中的每一个逆境，这才是真正的修行之道。在顺境中修行，永远不能成佛。在实现自我追求幸福的过程中会遇到各种逆境，我们要能够"千里云海漫漫路，虔心不移志如磐"。很多人刚开始满怀信心地踏上人生大道，但是只要一遇逢逆境就很自然地向后转，情况好点的就留在原地踏步，只有极少数的人能突破瓶颈过关斩将，他们才是真正的英雄好汉。

46. Therefore, those who study Buddhism should be willing to embrace every adversity in life, for this is the true path of cultivation. Cultivating in a state of ease can never lead to enlightenment. In the process of achieving self-pursuit of happiness, various adversities will arise, and we must be able to "traverse the endless journey of clouds and seas with unwavering faith and resolve like a solid rock." Many people start with full confidence on the great path of life, but as soon as they encounter adversity, they naturally turn back. Those who are slightly better stay put, while only a very few can break through the bottleneck and win battles. They are the true heroes and men of valor.

47. 《易经》说：“夫少者，多之所贵也。”

47. The I Ching says: "The young are what the many hold dear."

48. 一个人生活在世上，不可能永远走平坦的路。从佛学角度说，小乘佛教讲的四圣谛"苦、集、灭、道"，第一个就是"苦谛"。人生最根本的问题就是苦，"苦"有生、老、病、死苦，再加上怨憎会苦、爱离别苦、求不得苦，能看透人生最根本的问题是苦，其他还有什么比它再苦的呢？要想离苦得乐，你最好按照佛的教育去做。佛，是释迦牟尼，也是你自己，你能离苦得乐，你就是佛。

48. A person living in the world cannot always walk on a smooth path. From a Buddhist perspective, the Four Noble Truths taught in Theravada Buddhism—'Dukkha (suffering), Samudaya (origin), Nirodha (cessation), and Magga (path)'—the first one is 'Dukkha'. The most fundamental problem in life is suffering, which includes the sufferings of birth, old age, illness, and death, as well as the sufferings of encountering what is disliked, separation from what is loved, and the frustration of not getting what is desired. If one can see through the most fundamental problem of life being suffering, what else could be more painful? To escape suffering and find joy, it is best to follow the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha is both Sakyamuni Buddha and yourself; if you can escape suffering and find joy, you are the Buddha.

49. 前半生初露峥嵘，高官厚禄。他没有颐指气使，傲视苍生。而是谦虚谨慎地侍奉朝廷，真心实意地关照民生。

49. In the first half of his life, he showed his talent and was highly favored with high official positions and wealth. He did not behave with an air of superiority or look down upon the common people. Instead, he served the court with humility and caution, and sincerely cared for the well-being of the people.

50. 孟子说：“养心莫善于寡欲。”放下欲望，心无执念，人生自然云淡风轻，自在无碍。

50. Mencius said, "The best way to cultivate the mind is to have few desires." Let go of desires, free from attachments, life naturally becomes light as clouds and gentle as the wind, free and unobstructed.

51. 人生一世，我们真正需要的，不过是阳光，水，粮食和空气。何必以过多的欲望束缚自己，让自己痛苦不堪。

51. In this life, all we truly need is sunlight, water, food, and air. Why should we chain ourselves with excessive desires, causing ourselves immense suffering?

52. 俗话说“心态决定状态，状态决定成败。”

52. As the saying goes, "Attitude determines state, and state determines success or failure."

53. 清华大学让教授们，自行申请配发米粮的数目。别人都多多益善，她只要一点，够吃就行。

53. Tsinghua University allowed professors to apply for the amount of grain rations on their own. While others would apply for more, she only needed a little, enough to meet her needs.
