1. As long as you have interest and ambition, you can bravely learn and create in any field, skill, or profession, and you will surely succeed.
2. If you dare not step forward out of fear of failure, then you can only be considered a person hiding in a shell.
3. Seize the opportunity and live bravely. In today's world, many people are pitiful because they often refuse to do things within their reach and are unwilling to correct their shortcomings. They spend their days in confusion, overlooking and ignoring everything, wasting their talents on idleness. They are quite content with their current lives and do not realize that there are still people in the world who are working hard to change our civilization and culture. Why are these majority of people so lazy? The reason is simple: they lack courage and a spirit of initiative. Look at their surroundings—what governs their lives are the ancient traditions and ignorant prejudices passed down from the distant past. These absurd things have deeply rooted in their minds, binding their thoughts and preventing them from recognizing true life and the world, making them timid, cowardly, and without a willingness to take risks or pursue progress. Strangely, they admire and appreciate people like Columbus, who had a spirit of adventure, and sigh, "Why can't we do that?"

However, they dare not do so. Why do they dare not? Because they blindly believe in the absurd taboos of ancient legends, unaware that these legends and taboos have long been outdated and are no longer relevant to the present. The great philosopher Nietzsche long ago foresaw this and felt that people were so pitifully enslaved by ancient traditional thoughts. Therefore, he proposed: "Create a new life bravely!" Only those men and women who can follow this maxim can understand the joy and meaning of life. They must know that human history has been foolish because of cowardice, fear, and the of ancient traditions and taboos. Those ancient legends and taboos are extremely unreliable. For example, for thousands of years, people believed that women were naturally inferior to men. Now we know that if women are given the same opportunities for training, they can perform equally well as men, or even better, in science, literature, politics, and sports. Therefore, modern psychologists say: The most unfortunate thing in the world is that half of humanity, women, are...
