People are always like this: when they have something, they don’t know how to cherish it, always take it for granted, always think there are many opportunities, always want something better, so they squander it arbitrarily and hurt it arbitrarily. When they lose it, they regret deeply, only to realize how precious what they once had was. But at this time, everything is too late and can never be retrieved.

We are always chasing what we can’t get, always envying everything others have, but ignoring the happiness around us and everything we have. A healthy body, a warm family, sincere friends, a stable life—these seemingly ordinary things are actually the most precious happiness, but we often turn a blind eye to them. Only when we lose them do we realize that these are what we want most.

Cherishing is not possessing or obsessing, but knowing how to be grateful, knowing how to cherish the present, knowing how to cherish the people around us, and knowing how to cherish everything we have. Cherish a healthy body, because it is the capital of our struggle and the foundation of our enjoyment of life; cherish a warm family, because it is our haven and our warmest reliance; cherish sincere friends, because they stand up for us when we are in trouble and accompany us silently when we are sad; cherish a stable life, because it is the fruit of our hard work and the destination of our inner peace.

There is no chance to start over in life, and there is no regret medicine. Those who once had, once lost, can never be retrieved; those around us, once missed, can never be met again. Learn to cherish to leave no regrets; learn to cherish to have more; learn to cherish to gain full happiness and warmth in plain days.

May we all learn to cherish, cherish every minute and second of the present, cherish every person around us, and cherish everything we have. Live up to time, live up to companionship, live up to ourselves, gain happiness in cherishing, grow ourselves in cherishing, and have a better future in cherishing.
