If you lose hope completely after a small setback, you are too weak. Get back up on your feet and work hard for your survival. It is only when you have bravely stepped forward will you realise how big the world outside is. Let us all work hard!
受了一点刺激就绝对地对人生失望的人，是你太脆弱了。努力地站起来，去做事，先去以谋生为本，只有闯出去才发现，原来外面的天空是非常博大的，去努力吧！
Commentary by Jerome:
Do not be defeated by your setbacks! Let your failures be your motivating factor that pushes you on. Use your compassionate heart and persevere through your obstacles. One who can bear the pains will emerge victorious.

Jerome is a Buddhist practitioner that has learnt from Theravada, Mahayana and Tibetan traditions and is still learning! He first learnt meditation and Dharma from Theravadan monks and practitioners in the lineage of the Arahant Venerable Amatha Gavesi Maha Thero from Sri Lankaramaya Buddhist temple in Singapore. Then, he completed a Diploma in Buddhism from the Buddhist and Pali College in 2016. He also learnt from Zen Master Wu Jue Miao Tian (85th Zen Patriach) from the LingJi lineage in Taiwan in 2014 - 2015. Subsequently, he learnt from Garchen Rinpoche from the Drigar Thubten Dargye Ling tradition (Tibetan) and attended annual Om Mani Padme Hum and Om Ami Dewa Hrih retreats from 2015 till date. Currently, he is a disciple of Master Jin Bodhi (Mahayana) from Bodhi Meditation in Singapore and is an active volunteer there. Master Jin Bodhi is his main Dharma teacher. Jerome feels that Buddhism is not a religion but is a practical way to reduce our life's problems. The essence of Buddhism is not in the books or sutras but in the way we apply it into our lives. Having understood some aspects of Buddha's teaching, he wants to give back to the society and hopes to share his insights with everyone who has the affinity with him.
