Living is not the goal, living well is. Reflection. Pursuit. That is what has value.🌱
Do you know what you need? It's just instinct. Understanding what you don't need is true wisdom. It seems more difficult, right?💡
The secret to achievement? Self-esteem and self-confidence. Two pillars, one cannot be lacking. 🚀
2. Plato
Children are afraid of the dark, who doesn't understand? But adults are afraid of the light, which is a bit heartbreaking.
Regrets in life? Giving up what shouldn't be given up, and persisting in what shouldn't be persisted in. It's a common saying, yet we always make the same mistakes. 🍃
All things circulate, without exception. Look at the changes in the world in 2025; Plato had already seen through it. Truly remarkable. 🌊
3. Aristotle
Happiness? It's when the soul finds the right place. Sometimes we get lost simply because we are standing in the wrong spot.🏡
The wise do not seek pleasure. What they want is liberation from suffering. Freedom comes at a cost.
Excellence is not a one-time action. It's a habit. Do small things every day, and one day you will wake up extraordinary. ✨
4. Descartes
I think, therefore I am. In 2025, information explosion. Independent thinking? A scarce resource now. 💭
Those who are led by emotions lose their autonomy. Fate will play tricks on you, which feels quite helpless. 🎭
What is the root cause of decision-making difficulties? Either there are too many desires or the realization is insufficient. A dilemma.🔄
5. Rousseau
Born free, yet everywhere in chains. In the digital age, we should think more about what true freedom looks like.
Patience is bitter. The fruit is very sweet. This principle is simple but true. 🍯
Money is not everything, but being broke is absolutely unacceptable. Financial freedom is the cornerstone of an ideal life. In a sense.
6. Kant
Freedom is not doing whatever you want. Rather, it is being able to not do what you don't want to do. This distinction is subtle but crucial.🗽
Things that shock the soul: morality and the starry sky. One inside, one outside. A magical correspondence. ✨
Remedies to alleviate the hardships of life: hope, sleep, and a smile. In this busy world, it seems we are increasingly lacking these.
Seven, Hegel
Existence is rational. Everything that happens has its reason. Although we may not see it clearly at the moment. 🧩
People stand on their thoughts. Thoughts determine height. This seems particularly evident in this era of knowledge economy. 🔥
Pure brightness, like pure darkness, cannot see things clearly. Extremes can sometimes lead to losing direction. Have you ever felt this way?
Eight, Schopenhauer
You can do what you want to do, but you can't have what you want. Desire and ability are an eternal contradiction. A bit sad. 🌀
Without solitude, it is difficult to have inner peace. In the age of social media, being alone has become precious. Have you felt it?🧘♂️
No one lives in the past or the future. Only the present is real. Seize the moment! Simple truth, hard to practice. ⏳
Nine, Feuerbach
Theory cannot solve what practice can. Speak less, act more. 🛠️
Love can accomplish a person. True love ignites potential. It ignites value. It feels magical. ❤️
Eyes lead us upwards. The theory originates from observing the sky. Vision determines the pattern. To some extent, this is true. 🌌
10. Nietzsche
The days that have not danced have wasted life. Life needs passion. It needs creation. Have you danced today? 💃
People are like trees. The more they yearn for the sunlight, the deeper their roots go into the ground. Success requires a foundation. Behind the surface glory, there is always effort in the dark.🌲
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back at you. Be careful when facing challenges, don’t get assimilated. It's easy to say, but hard to do.🕳️
On this day in 2025, these ancient wisdoms still shine brightly. In a chaotic world, they are like stars, guiding the way. Although sometimes vague, they are better than nothing.🌕
