After all these years of living, we each have different insights into life. How about we write them down? Let me start: 1. Illness makes people more human, less utilitarian, and more attentive to human relationships; it also enhances their ability to appreciate love and friendship. 2.

The eyes closed in love are opened by marriage; the clothes worn in love are taken off by marriage. He and she were surprised: “So this is how you are?” Then they became angry: “So this is who you really are!” In truth, he and she were indeed worse than they had imagined before, but still better than what they found out now. 4. When scholars meet scholars, they can argue rationally. When soldiers meet, it’s only fitting to have a duel. The awkwardness in a scholar encountering a soldier lies in the fact that the soldier will never reason with the scholar, yet the scholar is forced to compete with him in a fight. 5. In the past, some people felt a sense of crisis regarding their family background; today, some people only feel a sense of crisis about their appearance. 6. The difference between cunning and intelligence lies not in intellect, but in morality. 7. Some marriages start with mutual respect, then turn into mutual indifference, and finally become full of hostility. 8. There are always many who are good at explaining, but few who dare to speak plainly. 9. When praised, the wise reflect on every word ; When criticized, the fool replies to every word. 10. A hospital is a place where one finally comes to value life more than money.
