Chapter 15: Life Perspective

"The ancient sages were true to their words. Those wise individuals who enjoyed secluded lives in the mountains were content. However, worldly people seeking guidance from them would vie with each other to find enlightenment."

“古人诚不欺我，那些喜欢隐居山野的大贤就是无欲无求做闲云野鹤，但是有求于他们的碌碌世人都会争先恐后的寻找点化。”

"I firmly believe that as human beings born into this world, it''s only right to want to achieve something. Our purpose is to contribute to creating a better world, not to isolate ourselves as recluses in the mountains. Young people should embrace life with the energy and spirit of youth. Have you ever watched historical dramas? Some of them actually criticize the idea of so-called wise recluses and emphasize the importance of high aspirations and wishes to achieve something ."

“但是我觉得一个生于天地间的人，应该尽自己所能去做一些自己力所能及的事情。我们生来就是要创造更美好，而非去去森山野林中去做隐士。年轻人更应该活出鲜衣怒马意气风发朝气蓬勃的少年感。你可曾过看历史剧？有些剧就骂过这种所谓的大贤。强调一个人有志气想做事的重要性。”

"Blindly conforming to popular opinions is just going with the flow. These historical dramas that glorify and serve the ruling class are nothing more than fabricated stories, which can diminish our enthusiasm for understanding real history. If you want to get into a better social class and become a better version of yourself, you must break free from the patterns they have set and avoid following their predefined paths of education and training. After all, the elite class cannot accommodate too many people."

“认同大家都共识的东西那也就只是随大流。这种歌功颂德统治阶级的胡编乱造的历史剧，看了都会失去了解真实历史的积极性。如果你想跨越阶层成为一个更好的自己，一定要跳出他们设定的那些套路，跳出套他们设好的教育培训之路。毕竟精英阶层不可能挤太多人。”

"If the mainstream aligns with your way of thinking, why reject it? Both mainstream and niche choices are just different options. Go with what suits you."

“如果大流和自己的思维一致，为何排斥？所谓大流小众都不过是一种选择而已，适合自己就行。”

"I haven''t chosen the mainstream or the niche because both are setups designed by the top elite. Those who first entered the top elite through fortuitous circumstances will surely prevent others from
