Wise Words to Live Life By

The poetry is the cream of human culture. It is beautiful not only because its ornate diction or creative concept, but also due to the wise words and epigrams of poetry. Looking back at some of these encounters with my buddies, I have found that there are some gems worth sharing.
“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” This is so true, because, in life our choices often have surprising results. Just like the poem “The Road Not Taken”, everyone has to face plenty of crossroads in their life. No one can foretell what lies ahead. We have to decide which way to go or not.
“Make peace with the past so it will not spoil your present.” Many people lose themselves in the past. They struggle and suffer a lot as a result of some regreteful things they did before. Worse still, they cannot get themselves out. I think this aphorism will cheer them up right now. Yesterday is history which will never ever come back. To wit, you can do nothing about the past. What we can do is catch and make full use of today.
“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.’ This verse seems simple whereas it reveals the true meaning of our life. It is the pearl of wisdom of leading to a meaningful life. That is why people always ask themselves what am I living for? A life without purpose is like a body with no soul, which has no difference to vegetables. Only when you begin to be clear about what you want from your life can you enjoy an enriched life.
Life is a school and you are here to study. Problems can fade away while the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
