二十二、 對于重要的人,不要信口開河;對于重要的事,不要頭腦發熱。有一天,一定會放下一切,去遠方。世上或許有一段不可替代的感情,卻沒有一個人是不可替代的。最好的朋友,就是世界上知道你最多秘密的人。過度的緊張,一點碰不得,惹不起,它可能源于不自信。

二十三、 太多的事,慢慢地就不能做了;太多的人,漸漸地就不見了。成長似乎是一個丟失的過程。

二十四、 不要在意別人在背后怎么看你說你,因為這些言語改變不了事實,卻可能攪亂你的心。心如果亂了,一切就都亂了。理解你的人,不需要解釋;不理解你的人,不配你解釋。人貴在大氣,要學會對自己說,如果這樣說能讓你們滿足,我愿意接受。并請相信,真正懂你的人,絕不會因為那些有的、沒有的而否定你。
