Good quote

I found this fantastic quote worth noting down while reading a book
故木秀于林,风必摧之;堆出于岸,流必湍之;行高于人,众必非之。前鉴不远,覆车继轨
 It means that don't receive too much public attention through your actions or else you will be targeted by the public.
Psychologists say that it is caused by jealousy among people. The fact that you are constantly showing off your talents which they don't posses will arouse jealousy among the green-eye people. They will perform all sorts of actions just to pull you down or to destroy the possessions that they will never have.

the 2nd one was found when I was watching a chinese music talent variety show online.
"虽然我是盲人,但我并不是残疾人,我只是走夜路的明眼人"
I found the quote full of positivity and it really shows how people in dire situations manage to pull themselves up by changing perspective.
