1. If you don't like your current job, either quit or keep your mouth shut. Beginners often have lofty ambitions but lack practical skills, are proud and arrogant, unable to handle big tasks, and unwilling to do small ones. Don't develop the habit of being picky. Don't get annoyed carrying an umbrella on a rainy day, but fear getting wet if you don't bring one, constantly showing dissatisfaction. Remember, if you are going to do something, do it well.
2. Everyone experiences loneliness. You must learn to endure loneliness, only then will you mature. Young people are used to laughing, joking, and fooling around, but when in a new environment facing various people and situations, they suddenly feel at a loss, and sometimes don't even have a place to speak their mind. At this time, don't be impatient; learn to calm your mind and endure loneliness. Reflect in loneliness, mature through reflection, and transcend through maturity. Don't let loneliness upset you and drive you to do meaningless or useless things, wasting precious time.
3. Don't be as fragile as glass. Some people always focus on themselves, so they can't grow tall or see far; they are always complaining about life, which also makes others extremely annoyed. Without the hardest of hardships, how can one have the sweetest of joys? Don't be as fragile as glass; instead, be transparent like crystal, radiant like the sun, and strong like wintersweet. Since you open your eyes to enjoy the coolness of the wind, don't complain about the tiny grains of sand in it.
4. Control your mouth. Don't talk about yourself and, even more, don't discuss others. Talking about yourself often leads to arrogance and falsehood, losing yourself in undeserved fame. Discussing others often traps you in petty disputes and endless quarrels. Drinking and chatting with colleagues or friends after work isn't a good habit, because such conversations often use gossip about colleagues or friends as the main topic. Speaking ill of others behind their backs is always wrong, especially criticizing their shortcomings, which diminishes your character.
5. Opportunities never truly “disappear”; if you miss them, someone else will surely seize them. Don't rely on fate, waiting idly like watching a tree stump for a rabbit, and don't pin your hopes on “opportunities.” Opportunities only exist for those who are well-prepared and actively create them. Perhaps while you are regretting or blaming yourself for missing an opportunity, it is being grabbed by someone equally “unlucky” right in front of you. If there are no opportunities, create them; if there are opportunities, seize them skillfully.
6. If your phone never rings, you should make the call yourself.Many times, a phone call can bring you unexpected benefits; it is not just a vase, merely something for display. When you make new friends, don't forget old friends; having more friends makes the path easier. A big secret in socializing is being proactive. Good relationships and a good reputation often help your career reach a higher level.
7. Never rush into marriage just because you have reached the marrying age. If you want to get married, find a partner who can resonate with you and support each other. Do not fall in love because of indulgence or games, do not let a relationship affect your work and career, and most importantly, do not let a hasty marriage lead to failure and obstacles in life. Acting on emotions often results in losing big over small matters.
8. Write down the things you want to accomplish in your life and keep the list in your wallet, taking it out to review frequently. Life needs goals, plans, reminders, and a sense of urgency. A series of small goals strung together becomes the big goal of your life. Even when life becomes abundant and your environment improves, do not forget that seemingly thin list in your wallet.

Everyone understands reason, but the key is knowing what to do and still not being able to do it. It's like knowing that smoking is bad, yet you can't quit, or staying up late on the internet is bad, yet you still do it. So what I want to say is just focus on being yourself, regardless of what others say or think. Other people's abilities are theirs; if you can learn them, you will naturally acquire them over time, but if you can't learn them, no amount of effort will help, just like the two fables 'Learning to Walk in Handan' and 'Dongshi Imitates a Frown' illustrate. (This is my personal view and also my approach to life.)
Nonsense is well said. For someone like me who often reflects on myself, it has a certain meaning. For those going through a rebellious phase, OP, you acted impulsively.
Everyone knows the reasoning. When you point it out, others might pay attention, but that's only a three-minute enthusiasm. Habits that others have formed cannot be changed. Even when they are confused, at most they might just pay a little attention in the future. Perhaps the first-floor's idea is very similar to mine.
