Do not forget what you once had; cherish even more what you have gained; do not give up what belongs to you; keep what you have lost as memories; and work even harder for what you want to attain. The road of life is full of wind and rain, ups and downs - without going through the storm, how can you see the rainbow? Whether success or failure, everything actually comes quite naturally. Where there is failure, there is success; where there is perfection, there is imperfection. So let everything take its natural course!

The most admirable character in life is to live one's proper life naturally, do things steadily and surely, work with dedication, make friends with honesty, and conduct oneself with an open heart. Life is a kind of endurance, and we must learn to support ourselves. Always hold on to your dreams - you never know when you will need them. When you fall, stand up again and keep moving forward; sitting foolishly on the ground is of no use.

A person's magnetic field is this:
When you are grateful, things go smoothly;
When you take responsibility, you grow;
When you give, you receive;
When you have love, you are loved.
Life is just that simple.
If you wish yourself good fortune,
then wish good fortune upon others.
All beauty comes from a grateful heart!

If you practice bonsai for money, it is hard to produce good works. If you practice it for art, you enjoy it, produce good works, and need not worry about not making money from it. No matter how we pursue masterful styling or innovative techniques, culture is the ultimate measure of a work's quality, and the golden rule for judging a bonsai practitioner's level. For a work, culture is the soul; for a person, culture is the root.
