If you could live your life over again, how would you spend it? Would you settle for an ordinary life or strive to get ahead? No matter what, you should live each day wholeheartedly. Even if you are ordinary, be extraordinary in your own way; even if you are noble, be modest about it. For a long time, I thought imperial power and fame were just toys for other people to fight over. I never imagined that one day I would tread a path of blooming lotuses and become someone dancing at the pinnacle of a pyramid filled with elites. In truth, if you travel through life with a grateful heart, you will eventually become invincible through benevolence.
I've read this book, it's very well written.
