Excerpts From Li Taibai Sets

天生我材必有用,千金散尽还复来。

I WAS BORN IN THIS WORLD,THERE MUST BE A NEED FOR ME;WHEN MONEY IS USED UP ,YOU CAN STILL EARN IT BACK.

长风破浪会有时,直挂云帆济沧海。

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF LIFE,ONE DAY THEY WILL REALIZE THEIR DREAMS AND SHOW THEIR TALENTS.

抽刀断水水更流,举杯消愁愁更愁。

DRAW KNIFE TO CUT OFF THE WATER FLOW,BUT THE WATER WAVE RUN MORE FREELY;RAISE A GLASS TO DRIVE AWAY SORROW,BUT SORROW IS STRONGER.
