My Life Mission

To live freely and with integrity, with a clear conscience before the world and my own life.

My Commitments

Belief

• Believe deeply that I will succeed, and succeed greatly
• Stay centered on my own values. Don’t let external people or things control me
• Lead by character - let my inner strength and positive energy influence the world around me

Integrity

• Keep my promises - my word is my bond
• Be careful with commitments - don’t make promises lightly or box myself into corners

Maturity

• Be decisive and responsible while remaining understanding and empathetic

Contentment

• Build security from within - from my values, not from material things
• Pursue excellence at work, go with the flow in life
• Appreciate fine things but know when enough is enough
• Believe I already have enough - contentment brings happiness no wealth can match
• Focus on effort first - you reap what you sow
• Aim for completion, not perfection

Humility

• Keep my jewels hidden - don’t show off or flaunt talents
• Dress clean and presentable but avoid vanity
• Share work that’s substantive - don’t create just for showing off

Mindful Speech

• Talk less, listen more - avoid oversharing personal matters
• Get to the point - be concise and clear
• Avoid unnecessary apologies - they can come across as weak
• Hold my tongue - no gossip or idle talk
• Stay in my lane - don’t comment on what’s not my responsibility
• Speak truth - when I speak, let it be true and actionable
• Keep confidences - hear and forget, see and let go

Self-Reflection

• Step back regularly - view myself from an outsider’s perspective

Honesty

• Take ownership - look for causes and solutions within myself first
• No excuses - if I’m wrong, I’ll admit it and correct it

Courage

• Face my fears - dare to break through my own limits
• Walk toward challenges - nothing ventured, nothing gained
• Live in the present - move forward boldly
• Be decisive - the best time is now
• Ask for help - the path is under my feet and in seeking guidance

Composure

• Be proactive and adaptable - strong within, flexible without
• Improve myself relentlessly, accept others pragmatically
• Handle events calmly: first accept, then deal
• Prepare without worrying - work gradually toward inner peace
• View outcomes wisely:
  • Success is a gift
  • Failure is protection
  • Delay means timing isn’t right
  • Progress comes with support
• Stay grounded - don’t let achievements go to my head
• Think before acting:
  • Don’t send letters when angry
  • Don’t give gifts when overly excited
• Learn from Zeng Guofan: Clear mind, adapt to circumstances, don’t dwell on future, stay focused in moment, release the past

Openness

• Wish well for everyone - even those I dislike
• Release hatred - try not to hold it for anyone
• Avoid envy - especially of people close to me
• Maintain empty-cup mindset - with books and people
• Don’t jump to conclusions about people
• Be kind - nobody owes me anything; build good connections
• Find teachers everywhere - learn from others’ strengths
• Learn from others’ flaws - correct them in myself if present, guard against them if not
• See the whole person - everyone has noble and petty sides; acknowledge the good, be mindful of the rest

Service to Others

• Help others succeed - with discipline and genuine care
• Focus on giving - especially with my wife
• Never take credit for someone else’s work

Wisdom & Fairness

• Hear all sides before judging
• Avoid four pitfalls: assumptions, insisting on certainty, rigidity, self-centeredness

Resilience

• Stay true to my初心 (original intention)
• Be persistent - never give up easily
• See obstacles as opportunities to build character and strength
• Work diligently - keep moving forward

Continuous Improvement

• Break bad habits - constantly better myself
• Limit online time: social media, games, shopping, endless browsing, lowbrow content
• Maintain regular routine - practice self-discipline
• Eat mindfully: lower carbs, sugar, unhealthy fats; avoid overeating
• Quit smoking, drink less
• Exercise consistently
• Read regularly, keep learning English

Systems & Order

• Review regularly: yearly, monthly, weekly, daily - review, analyze, plan, execute
• Record and act promptly on ideas and plans (but recording is a tool, not the goal)
• Put first things first - no procrastination
• Start small: from easy to hard, from near to far, from now to future

My Priority Roles
