“The moment you close this book, you become a better person than you were yesterday.”
Time to carefully copy each sentence and look back at my thoughts.

There are things that can only be confirmed by saying them out loud.
There are things that can only be felt by trying them with your own hands.
So, only what I read, digest, speak, and write directly can be my true world.
But in our busy days and daily lives, we don't have enough time to look into our hearts or take care of them.
It's not uncommon to start or end the day with tired words or pessimistic words.
What if I set aside just ten minutes a day for myself? Let's meditate on refined words, beautiful phrases, and profound sentences, and carefully examine my own heart.
If I can feel the joy of a moment of complete devotion, even for a moment, if I can share a foreign language and a different story with someone, I will find myself becoming a little better every day than I was yesterday.
