Those who push too hard,

will never run far.

If you sprint with all your might from the start,

you'll end up with nothing but exhaustion and anxiety.

Too impatient, too rigid,

no matter how many opportunities you see, you can't grasp them,

and when setbacks come, you collapse.

Fighting head-on, stubborn to the end,

others will just avoid you,

and all your efforts may earn you is loneliness.

Life isn't a 100-meter dash,

it's a marathon.

Those who know how to conserve energy,

who understand how to go with the flow,

are the ones who qualify to go the distance,

and live with ease and freedom.
