to overcome difficulties, and never succumb under
adverse circumstances." (Originally In Chinese)

"Thinking
good all the time or anyhow whatever it is, just think
positive. It's not that you just force yourself to
think positive but you must know why, Because everything
you think fall back upon you /so you have no choice
but to think positive, think good about yourself."

"Recently,
more disasters have been happening on Earth. This
is a reminder from God that we should go back to our
original qualities of Truth, virtue and beauty, instead
of being intoxicated in negativity. We human beings
have two kinds of power, one is positive, the other
negative. The positive one gives us and others comfort
and bliss. This is the quality we should always maintain
and develop further. If we were to be stuck in the
negative sphere, the world would become more and more
chaotic. "

"There
are only two choices, the positive and the negative.
If the positive doesn't act, then the negative will
come. So if we don't use our positive thinking and
power, then there's only one other choice. When the
time comes, we use the negative, because the chance
has passed. Then the more we use the negative, the
more we get used to it, and we never do anything else,
except keep using it again, again and again. We never
get out of it. That's what we call the wheel of transmigration,
because we keep running inside that circle again again,
and again."
