"私の行動は私の唯一の真の所有物です。"
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Simplified Meaning:
Everything we really own in life comes from what we do, not what we have. Think about it like this: You can have lots of things like clothes, gadgets, or even money, but these things can be lost, stolen, or broken. However, the way you treat people, help others, work hard, or keep your promises shows who you really are. For example, if you volunteer at a shelter, your kindness and effort are what truly belong to you, not just the money you might donate. Actions stick with you and shape your character, unlike material things. To live by this idea, focus on doing good deeds, developing skills, and building strong relationships, as these are the real treasures that show your true self and last a lifetime.
