19 Sentences by a 19-Year-Old Nun 【First Sentence】Those who are hated do not suffer; those who hate others will end up suffering greatly. Therefore, never hate anyone. 【Second sentence】Fate is like a book; flipping through it carelessly may cause you to miss something, while reading it too earnestly can make you cry. 【Third sentence】Different fools argue; otherwise, it’s impossible to tell who the fool is. 【Fourth sentence】Education is the bronze medal, ability is the silver medal, networking is the gold medal, and thinking is the ace. 【Fifth sentence】Successful people don’t win at the starting point; they win at the turning point. 【Sixth sentence】There are two types of money: the money that is spent is wealth; the money that is not spent is “paper,” which represents an inheritance. 【Seventh sentence】Showing your temper is called instinct; suppressing it is called skill. 【 Eighth sentence 】Do simple things repeatedly, and you’ll become an expert; do repeated tasks with dedication, and you’ll become a winner. 【Ninth sentence】Being so beautiful and handsome yet not being aware of it – that is grace; being so wealthy and talented yet others not knowing it – that is cultivation. 【Tenth sentence】Keep your mouth under control; don’t speak just for momentary pleasure or recklessly. \"A kind word can warm one through three winters, while a hurtful word can chill one in six months.\" Think before you speak, be cautious with your words – talking too much is of no use. Avoid speaking ill of others, and you will naturally be able to turn enemies into friends. 【Eleventh sentence】A life without love is like a desert. Giving roses to others leaves a pleasant fragrance in one’s own hands; one must \"learn to love others, for that is to love oneself\". Let love, like the afternoon sun, warm everyone’s heart. 【Twelfth sentence】Make an effort to understand and respect others, always maintaining a heart full of tolerance and gratitude. Tolerance is a virtue, it is wisdom; the ocean can hold countless rivers – how vast it is! Be grateful to your friends, for it is they who offer you help; be grateful to your enemies, for it is they who make you stronger. 【Thirteenth sentence】In this world, there are two things we must do: one is to keep moving forward, and the other is to stop and check whether we have a positive mindset; a positive mindset is a great companion for life, bringing joy and health. 【Fourteenth sentence】Human relationships are a natural part of life; one should be inclined to be generous and good at interacting with others. Relying on efforts at the last minute when needed will not work. Therefore, one’s emotions should be \"saved\", just like bank deposits – the more that is saved over an extended period of time, the greater the rewards will be. 【Fifteenth sentence】Don’t be impatient when faced with problems. Don’t rush to draw conclusions; especially when angry, avoid making decisions. Learn to put yourself in others’ shoes, downplay serious issues and trivialize minor ones, and try to simplify complex matters – never complicate simple things. 【Sentence 16】Learn to be content; the biggest trouble in life stems from meaningless comparisons. There are always people in this world who are worse off than you, as well as those who are better. When I cried because I had no shoes to wear, I realized that there were people who didn’t even have feet. 【Sentence 17】If the enemy makes you angry, it means you’re not yet confident enough to defeat him; there’s no need to turn around to see who is cursing you. If a mad dog bites you, would you go down and bite it back? Don’t pay too much attention to others’ curses. 【Sentence 18】Don’t view work as a burden; instead of getting angry and complaining, face it in a positive and cheerful manner. When you treat work as a part of life and an art form, you will be able to enjoy it. 【19th sentence】As long as one is alive, it is a blessing, and that time should be cherished. Life is short, just a few decades long – so one should not leave behind more regrets. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west; sorrow lasts only a day, and joy too. If one does not get stuck on issues, both life and the mind will be at peace.
Life philosophy – reading it has greatly improved my understanding
This can be revisited from time to time to think about; it’s good!

Return to the secular world quickly; the world of pleasure is far better than a life of solitude and prayer. Another 19-year-old nun is already so profound in her thoughts – what kind of life experiences must she have gone through before becoming a nun? She’s by no means an ordinary novice; she’s like Master Ermu.
Education is the bronze medal, ability is the silver medal, networking is the gold medal, and thinking is the ace
Everything is empty; no wonder he became a monk.
I don’t believe it; it doesn’t sound like something a 19-year-old nun would say.
The issues related to what’s inside and outside the door: Logically speaking, once one has stepped outside, there’s no need to discuss those matters related to what’s inside the door
