Midnight oil burns out quickly
熬夜要不得
I was so eager to do my job well but fell ill quite often. The reason? I always burnt the midnight oil. Later I came to realize that I couldn’t work like this anymore. One has to be fully aware that one cannot finish all the work at a time, however enthusiastic one may be about the job.
那个时候我年轻，想办好事，差不多一个月大病一场。为什么呢? 老熬夜。经常是通宵达旦干。最后感觉到不行，这么干也长不了。先把自己的心态摆顺了，内在有激情，外在还是要从容不迫。

Don’t slack, don’t lose faith
不养尊处优 不短志受挫
During one’s growth and endeavor, the young may gain success and joy, but may also face difficulties and pressure. One should treat the success and failure at the moment with a correct attitude, not slack in prosperity and not lose faith in adversity. One should consider both the success and failure as wealth in life instead of burdens.
青年在成长和奋斗中，会收获成功和喜悦，也会面临困难和压力。要正确对待一时的成败得失，处优而不养尊，受挫而不短志，使顺境逆境都成为人生的财富而不是人生的包袱。
