The sentence "Do not forget your initiative mind, eventually achieved something" is interpreted from some poems in Hua Yan Jing. The original text is:
Don't forget your innovative spirit. In order to achieve your ultimate goal, living is a practice.
Don't forget your active attitude, so as to achieve your ultimate goal, the initial heart is easy to get, and it is always difficult to keep.
Don't forget your active attitude, so that you can achieve your ultimate goal. If you forget your initial intention, you will be disillusioned.
Don't forget your active attitude, so as to achieve your ultimate goal, don't refuse their true intentions, and feel at ease.
Appreciation of the second half sentence "easy to get at first, hard to keep at last"
When you do something, you will stick to your beliefs at first, but after a long time, you will forget why you did it in the first place, either because it is too difficult to stick to it, or because you began to enjoy a better life and gave up your beliefs.
Moreover, in our traditional concept, everyone wants a happy ending. As long as you stick to it, you will have a good ending, which is in line with everyone's taste. Therefore, it will be accepted by the world that "you can achieve your ultimate goal without forgetting your active attitude".
And "easy to get at first, always hard to find" gives people a psychological gap, makes people feel helpless and sad, and makes people feel that even if they persist, they may not succeed. So many people use the first half of the sentence to motivate their friends, not the second half.
Life is short. In this short life, no one will be perfect. Only by remembering why you did this in the first place can you live a limited life clearly. Don't die knowing what you are living for.
