Love & Courage
"In True Love, One Finds Courage"


Confucius - Learning

"Learning without thought is labor lost;
thought without learning is perilous"



Only Through Letting Go
"Only through letting go can we truly
possess what is real"

And this is the Chinese symbol for 'I miss you'

  • Literally: A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring.
  • Meaning: Even if it was just a little help from others, you should return the favor with all you can when others are in need.



(ice+freeze+three+units(~feet),not+one+day's(7th and 8th)+chill)
  • Literally: Three feet of ice not result from one day of freezing weather.
  • Moral: A predicament is not formed without a period of events creating it.
  • Compare: Rome was not built in a day (Roma non fu fatta in un giorno, Italian proverb).




(empty+cave+come+wind+not+surely+not+cause)
  • Literally: If the wind comes from an empty cave, it's not without a reason.
  • Moral: Most seemingly strange rumours have an origin in fact.

Thanks for the post, I'm fascinated by the Chinese and Japanese language!

I've been learning Japanese for some time now too.
Have you ever read Sun Tzu's Art of War there are some very wise sayings in there that todays military generals use?

I disagree with that saying.

The things we most want to do in our lives are the things that are the most worth doing. And that may include our dreams :D
