The advancement and retreat of life is a matter of great learning. There are things to wait for. In the face of dangers, you must persevere with willpower, otherwise you will be fantasized; for some things, it is not just the word "brave" that can be effective, because this is not a story about slaying demons. Fighting bravely will lead to miracles. The more complicated things are, the more they need to be dealt with wisely. Just think about how many times you have to go back and forth before scoring a goal in a football match. If that was a serious change, how could it happen overnight?
The seemingly simple interpersonal interactions in the world have their own laws of cause and effect. Good words and kind ideas are like fertilizers and clear water for fragrant flowers, which can grow fragrant and pleasant flowers; vicious words , hurtful behavior, like poisonous flowers, the flowers and plants have not yet sprouted, they are damaged and withered. Swearing, slandering, ridiculing, and ridiculing may appear to be attacking others, but they are actually hurting oneself. It is the same as spitting at the sky, but the spitting does not reach the sky, but falls on one's own face.
If you firmly believe that you can do it, it is very likely that you can do it; if you firmly believe that you can’t do it at all, you really can’t do it. If you think study and work are enjoyment, then you will be in heaven; if you think study and work are hard work, then you will be in heaven.
Many beautiful things are brought by useless things. An unexpected spring rain may be useless, but it gives people a touching inner feeling; embroidery and handicrafts may be useless, but they bring us beauty and surprise; poetry and songs Gift may be useless, but it can speak to your heart and comfort your sorrow... Instead of blindly seeking useful things, it is better to calm down and savor the tranquility and beauty brought by useless things. When the mind is at peace, the body is at peace. There is a culture in giving flowers
Sending flowers has become a fashionable and practical form of etiquette that is used internationally nowadays. When it's time to send someone off, sending them carefully selected flowers makes them look both cultured and dignified. It really kills two birds with one stone. However, due to differences in ethnic groups, clans, and countries, different flowers often have their own customary meanings. Therefore, we need to have a certain understanding of the meanings of various common flowers, so as not to do bad things with good intentions. Flowers have two common meanings.
One is the general meaning. It is a well-known and widely used meaning in the world.
Roses and cockscombs represent love, lilacs represent first love, lemons represent true love, olives represent peace, osmanthus represents glory, white mulberries represent wisdom, narcissus represents respect, lilies represent purity, camellias represent beauty, and wild grapes represent Charity, wisteria means welcome, red west incense means diligence, bird's absence means caution, dodder means overcoming difficulties, ivy means marriage, wheatgrass means union, five-clawed dragon means fetters, fir branches means parting, fragrant basil means wishes, and rouge means Don’t forget, cardamom means parting, apricot blossom means doubt, weeping willow means sadness, and dianthus means rejection.
Several kinds of flowers can be matched together to express a special meaning. For example, a bouquet composed of ivy, wheatgrass, and five-clawed dragon is given to the newlyweds, which means that they love each other and will never be separated. A bouquet composed of fir branches, fragrant basil and rouge flowers is given to a person traveling far away to express blessings for you and forget-me-not.
The other is folk moral. In different customs, the same type of flowers have fundamentally different meanings. When choosing to send flowers, you must pay attention to the folk customs and avoid making mistakes.
For example: Chinese people like chrysanthemums, but in the West, yellow chrysanthemums represent death and can only be used in funeral activities. The Chinese appreciate the lotus's ability to emerge from the mud without staining and like it, but in Japan, the lotus represents death. In Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macao, kumquats and peach blossoms mean good luck and prosperity, while plum blossoms, jasmine and peonies mean bad luck, no profit, and unemployment.
In addition, different customs also have different understandings of the color of flowers. For example, in China, we all love red flowers, especially when we get married, sending red flowers is considered festive. In the West, sending white flowers to the bride is the best blessing.
There are also differences in quantity. In China, flowers should be sent in even numbers during festive events, which means good things come in pairs. Sending an odd number of flowers at a funeral means that misfortunes never come singly. In China, especially in coastal areas, sending 4 flowers to others is bound to be unpopular because the pronunciation of 4 is similar to death. In Western countries, odd numbers are important when sending flowers, but the number 13 is not allowed. Japanese people like odd numbers, such as the number 3, and are quite disgusted with 4 and 9.
In most countries in the world, especially Western countries, red roses are regarded as a symbol of love. Therefore, it is not suitable to present this kind of flower in general social occasions to avoid giving too many surprises.
In French-speaking countries such as Italy, France, Belgium, and Japan, chrysanthemums are called funeral flowers, which is equivalent to the role of wreaths in China. If this kind of flower is offered, it means a curse. Nowadays, more and more people are taboo about giving chrysanthemums. The lotus flower is also considered unlucky to the Japanese.
For Canadians, white lilies can only be used at memorial services.
In the West, yellow is considered to mean breaking off relations.
Brazilians have an aversion to purple and believe that purple is a symbol of death.
Mexicans believe that white can ward off evil spirits, yellow means death, and red can bring bad luck. The lotus has a special status in Buddhism. Offering it to others at will will inevitably cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Flower arrangement also has a lot of knowledge about indoor flower arrangement Feng Shui

Success requires hard work and patience. Nothing can be done in one step. If you want to become a strong person, you must learn to hide your strength and bide your time.

If you want to succeed, in addition to working hard, you must also be good at waiting, waiting for the fruits to ripen, waiting for the water to fall into place, waiting for the rain to pass, the sky to clear up, and waiting for the clouds to open and the sun to rise. The end of patience is the darkness and the bright light. Today's patience is just for tomorrow's flowers to bloom.
