One measure of maturity — perhaps the purest measure — may be the courage to put our arms around those former selves & pull them close, to take tender responsibility for their missteps & confusions,

[Ly Duy Ky @ldkkei]

an entirety we must go on embracing as it goes on expanding, goes on revealing its edges & its shadows. we are finite but unfinished, that maturity is not the prelude to mortality but the discovery of the immortal in us.

Giữ thái độ khiêm nhường, ít nói & tôn trọng mọi đối thủ. Sự khiêm nhường giúp ta không ngừng học hỏi & giữ vững phong độ. Đỉnh cao thực sự của 1 con người không nằm ở danh tiếng bên ngoài, mà nằm ở nội lực & sự tu dưỡng đạo đức bên trong.

Cuộc đời chúng ta không chỉ được định hình bởi những bước ngoặt lớn, mà còn bởi cách chúng ta chăm chút cho những chi tiết nhỏ nhặt mỗi ngày. Sự kiên trì & tỉ mỉ trong những việc bình thường chính là nền tảng của những kỳ tích phi thường.

Now, I feel that the biological process that we call life—with its marvelous proliferation of innumerable patterns & forms—is essentially playful. By that I mean that it doesn’t have a serious purpose beyond itself. It’s an artform like music & like dancing.
