I found these wise words in a Chinese forum, just translated them into English:
------------------------------------------
Mountain has its height, water has its
depth, there is no reason to compete;
Wind has its freedom, cloud has its
tenderness, there is no reason to imitate;
Search for whatever you think is
joyful; dwell on whatever you think is worth; appreciate whatever you
think is happy. There is nothing would not be judged, there is
nothing would not be envied;
Be truthful to yourself, follow your
heart, there will be no regret;
There is only one path in life: your
own path;
There are two treasures of life: good
health, loving heart; (Original text: "young heart")
There are three kinds of friends: those
who lend money to you; those who attend your wedding; those who
attend your funeral.
There are four adversities in life:
can't see through, can't give it up, can't lose, can't put it down.
There are five maxims for life:
persevere no matter how hard it is; take it light no matter how
valuable it is; restrain your spending no matter how rich you are; be
passionate no matter how cold you are.
There are six fortunes in life:
physical health; knowledge; dream; belief; confidence; courage.
I loved the one about the mountain Yun Yi. There are some things that you just can't compete with.
