I Am Chinese

Endure and persevere
Through hardship one prepares for his life in the future
He who perseveres goes deep
Through suffering and tribulations
A needle is made out of polishing a metal rod.

I live by some of these words taught to us when we were small.

I see both the beauty and the hardship of those Chinese phrases, and cannot help thinking that if a civilisation that gave birth to them is the next leader of the world instead of the decadent west, it will be a great thing.

Love your handwriting. I can recognise only a few characters, though 😞

@Cierzo I wonder if there is anything such as penmanship meditation. I like writing those characters out.

@novembermoon There must be for sure.
