Rise and Strive

Crossing the same mountain, those who got up late are still struggling up the winding paths, while the early risers have already reached the teahouse halfway, ready to rest before continuing their journey.

This is often reflected in Chinese folk wisdom that encourages diligence: "Burn the midnight oil, rise with the dawn." Those who are truly dedicated have already started working toward their goals.

As a common saying goes, waking up early helps you manage things neatly—you comb your hair well, eat your breakfast well, and start the day right. But if you get up late, everything becomes rushed and chaotic.

Inspired by this, we designed the "Rise and Strive" series, conveying the idea that one should not wander aimlessly all day, only to regret wasting youth when it’s too late.
