Accept both compliments and criticism,
as it takes both the sun and the rain for a flower to grow .
Accept both laughter and despair,
as it takes both the sun and the rain for a seed to germinate.
Accept both dilemma and certainty,
as it takes both the sun and the rain for a plant to sprout.
Accept both trial and temptation,
as it takes both adhesion and cohesion force for water to reach the tip of a leaf .
Accept both brokenness and emptiness,
as it takes both the sun and the moon to light the path .
Accept both love and hatred,
as it takes both gratitude and genuineness for a character to blossom .
Accept both silence and speaking,
as it takes both resistance and tolerance for a flower to be fertilized in winter.
Accept both friendship and family,
as it takes oneness and closeness for seeds to be dispersed.
