人生��能一帆风顺，有�功也有失败；有开心也有失�。
如果我们把生活ä¸çš„èµ·èµ·è�½è�½çœ‹å¾—太é‡�，那么生活永远都ä¸�会轻æ�¾ï¼Œ
永远都没有欢笑。我们常常徘徊在��和放弃之间，举棋�定，
...
其实，�是什么东西都一定�去争�得到的，
有些东西暂时得�到也并�会阻�生活的幸�，
而拥有一颗平常心�是最��的。

The above is a picture of æ–掌.
It reminds you of æ–掌? I know it is showing æ–掌on Ch. 8 now. I did not watch the show but long ago heard that girls who are æ–掌will lead a very tough life whereas guys who are æ–掌will become a boss one day.
I'm not sure about girls but I'm sure about guys. This guy dropped out of school and did not even have a PSLE cert but relatives foretold that he would be a boss one day when he was young because he's æ–掌. True enough, he's a boss now.

maybe fate has been predestined....on the palms... but i always believe, and in the following words .... "Man [Woman] is not made for defeat." - Ernest Hemingway (1899 - 1961, Suicide). He was mocked with his deceptively simple and staccato writing style, which paves the way for a new American writing that influence a world of imitators. Nobel Prize (1954)

"Saints, it has been said, are the sinners who go on trying. So free men are the oppressed who go on trying and who in the process make themselves fit to bear the responsibilities and to uphold the disciplines which will maintain a free society. Among the basic freedoms to which men aspire that their lives might be full and uncramped, freedom from fear stands out as both a means and an end. A people who would build a nation in which strong, democratic institutions are firmly established as a guarantee against state-induced power must first learn to liberate their own minds from apathy and fear."
- Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Prize (1991). Arrested, detained, separated from all ties of kinship, she proved what no other Asian women of her time did with the principle of non-violence and continual engagement for democracy and human rights. Now a major motion film, "THE LADY".

"Suddenly, I felt the emptiness of those elegant economic theories in the face of crushing hunger and poverty. I wanted to do something immediate to help people around me, even if it was just one human being, to get through another day with a little more ease. That brought me face to face with poor people's struggle to find the tiniest amounts of money to support their efforts to eke out a living." - Muhammed Yunus, Nobel Prize 2006. Mocked and ridiculed by bankers whom he asked for loans to extremely poor people. He went against the state law by setting up village banks starting with 27 dollars, which has since provided a decent living for millions of women and children. To date, more than 7 million borrowers of microcredits.

"We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. We must recognize that the suffering of one person or one nation is the suffering of humanity. That the happiness of one person or nation is the happiness of humanity."
- Tenzin Gyatso (1935 - present, Exiled Leader in Llhasa, India), Nobel Prize 1989. A boy ordained as the reincarnated soul of his predecessor; and since 1959, became an exiled leader of his people struggling with utmost patience, based on the principle of peace, compassion and non-violence, as the agenda to regain his country as well as to uphold peace and harmony for the world through his teachings. He is the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet.

"Writing eases my suffering. When you use words, you are able to keep your mind alive. Writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence." - Gao Xingjian (b.1940, Exiled writer in France). Betrayed by his wife to the communists during the cultural revolution, he was arrested and sentenced as a "social and intellectual parasite" and all his manuscripts were burnt, and was sent to forced labour camps. Unwavered, he continued to write with path breaking literary techniques mixed with bitter insights and linguistic ingenuity. He became the first Chinese to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (2000).
