2. I am an unfilial son, and I have betrayed my parents and failed to do my duty. It's really true that God punished me so quickly.

3. alas! What a ridiculous decision people make in fear! Whenever reason provides them with ways to protect themselves, once fear prevails, they don't know how to use them.

4. Especially, in this unfortunate situation, God guided me to know him and begged his blessing, which gave me great comfort. This kind of happiness is enough to compensate for all the misfortunes I have suffered and may suffer.

5 I was so scared that I just sat there like a bolt from the blue.

6 when I saw this scene, I was furious and put my fears aside. I swear in my heart: next time I see such atrocities, I will not let them go!

7 all the good things in the world are of no benefit to us except to use them.

8 it's useless for a person to just sit and dream about what he can't get. This absolute truth makes me cheer up again.

9 after a person is sensible, he will feel that being saved from sin by God is happier than being saved from trouble by God.

11 things are always like this. The fear of danger is often more frightening than the danger itself.

1. when you start doing something, it's really stupid if you don't calculate the cost in advance and make a correct estimate of your own strength in advance.

2. I often sit down to eat with gratitude and admire God's virtue of living well, because he has given me abundant virtue in the wilderness. I have learned to pay attention to the bright side of my situation and pay less attention to its dark side; Think more about what I enjoy and less about what I lack. This attitude sometimes makes me feel a heartfelt comfort, and I can hardly express it in words. ..... I think our dissatisfaction with what we need is all due to people's lack of gratitude for what they have got.

3 ..... It can be seen that we ordinary people can't understand the benefits of the original environment unless we see the worse environment with our own eyes; If you have to be at the end of your rope, you won't know how to cherish what you used to enjoy.

4. I've been drifting at sea for so many days, which is really enough. I just have a quiet rest for a few days to reflect on the dangers of the past.

5. It's more bitter for a person to look forward to misfortune all the time than to encounter it, especially when one can't get rid of this expectation and this feeling of fear.

6. In human feelings, there is always a hidden motive force. Once this motive force is attracted by a visible goal, and disasters are attracted by an imaginary goal although it is invisible, it will push our souls to pounce on that goal with a brave force. If we can't reach the goal, it will make us unbearable.

7. Ordinary people often have a common fault, that is, they are often dissatisfied with the living environment arranged by God and nature for them. In my opinion, at least half of their sufferings are caused by this common fault.

8. When the creator rules mankind, it is really a great good thing to limit human knowledge and knowledge to a narrow range.

11 I'm beginning to feel that my present life, though humble, is much better than the evil and despicable life before. I don't worry about the past now, nor am I happy with the past.

12 God has given all living beings the same ability. Some people are not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and they work miracles. Others believe in destiny and refuse to start their own lives. They think that' miracles' are arranged by heaven. In fact, as long as they are created, miracles will appear.
