Lu Yu talks with Cai Lei. Mr. Cai Lei said: As long as you don’t give up, every direction is the way forward. You think the road ahead is only a wall, but that might not be the case. Look down—you’ll find a path; turn sideways—there’s a gap.

You can even choose to cross over or dig through. A route that people before you haven’t taken might not be impassable. Even if it looks like you’re surrounded on all sides, changing your direction might be the exit.

So keep at it—while you’re young, be bold and try that “unrealistic” thing.
