Empty fame Tom Sharp

Your name’s as weak as the horns of a snail. Your fame’s as transient as a fly. You don’t determine your strengths or your weaknesses. It doesn’t matter how you think of it. Others decide if you’re hired or fired. If you live a hundred years, you will have 36,000 times to get drunk but no time at all to make the world a better place. We already have beautiful songs to sing; the moon already shines on ancient trees.

满庭芳·蜗角虚名 苏轼

蜗角虚名，蝇头微利，算来著甚干忙。 事皆前定，谁弱又谁强。 且趁闲身未老，须放我、些子疏狂。 百年里，浑教是醉，三万六千场。 思量，能几许？ 忧愁风雨，一半相妨。 又何须抵死，说短论长。 幸对清风皓月，苔茵展、云幕高张。 江南好，千钟美酒，一曲满庭芳。
