The present is brief

Be mindful that the present moment is brief, over in the blink of an eye. The success of the past can give us encouragment, while the sufferings now tormenting us will be over. 

No matter how bitter the hardship is at present, we ought to be proud and rejoice that we have walked through a difficult and dangerous jouney. 

On the other hand, the happiness we are now enjoying shall pass as well. We ought to be glad and cherish the part of journey because we never know what tomorrow will bring.

There are wide roads as well as narrow wooden bridges ahead. When they appear before you, you can walk on them without turning away. Only those who experience life in different ways would understand its flavour.
