Metaphor

Practice makes perfect. 熟能生巧
The things that you are not familiar with will be made perfect if you try to practice and exercise enough.
I think it is a good way for everyone to try new things that he/she never touches or learns before. But there is a premise that he/she has to practice diligently.

Advice when most needed is least heeded. 忠言逆耳
Some advices will not be noticed, especially when you are in a good situation. Someone who flatters you and never tells you the truth or advices is not the good friend. I think the good friends will give you some suggestions whether you are in the good situation or not. Maybe the suggestions or advices will harsh to your ear, but they are sincere. We have to accept them and think what we have to do.

The wealth of the mind is the only true wealth. 心靈的財富才是唯一真正的財富
How rich you are does not depend on your wealth of matter is mind. If your mind is ugly or poor, you will not have happy or healthy. Only own a healthy and kind mind, you will have a rich and colorful life.
In the current society, most people think money is everything and earn matter wealth to content their vanity. They do not understand the true wealth is mind not money. Money cannot buy friendship, love, respect, and so on. If your mind is poor, you will feel empty even you are a rich man.

自反而縮，雖千萬人，吾往已
This phrase that was said by Mencius is my motto. It tells us if everybody does not agree with our decision, we have to think deeply. After some serious thinking, if we make sure that our decision is right, we just do what we have to do and do not concern what others say. I think it is very important for everybody. People have to know what they want, what they need, and decide how to finish the matters after serous thinking. If we have the ability that how to analyze different things, we can make everything easy and gain what we want. Because we have to be responsible for our life, we must have our own life and decide how to manage our life.

己所不欲 勿施於人
This phrase was said by Confucius. It tells us when we do anything; we need to realize other people’s feelings. What we do not like others treat us, we do it to others. It is a respectful behavior. If everyone does this, our world will be peaceful and filled with love.
