The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.

用媚字奉养亲人父母，用平淡之心交朋友，用苟字节俭花费，用朴拙免去劳力，用聋字消除诽谤，用盲字远离美色，用吝字防止言说过多，用病字医治婬欲，用贪字读书，用傲字树立风骨，用痴字救济贫困，用空字解脱忧烦，用弱字抵御侮蔑，以悔字改正错误，以懒字控制奔走竞争，以惰字隔除凡人俗事。

I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe in.

写作是理解我们在宇宙中位置的一种方式。

To understand is to perceive patterns.
