It embodies the spirit of unity and mutual support, emphasizing that everyone contributes to the group and the group supports each individual.

I’ll just play it by ear
“I’ll just play it by ear” is an English expression that means to rely on one’s instincts or improvisation to handle a situation, rather than following a pre-planned strategy or relying on specific instructions. It suggests that one will adapt and respond flexibly based on what is happening around them.
Examples in English:
“I’ve never been to this city before, so I’ll just play it by ear and figure out where to go.”

“项目变化得太快了，我们只好随机应变，根据需要调整计划。”
This expression implies a willingness to be flexible and spontaneous in the face of uncertainty or changing conditions. It suggests that one is confident enough to rely on their own abilities and instincts to navigate new or unexpected situations.
You mustn’t aim too high
“You mustn’t aim too high” is an English expression that means one should not set their goals or expectations too high, as it may lead to disappointment or failure. It suggests that setting realistic and achievable goals is more beneficial than aiming for something that may be unreachable.
Examples in English:
“You mustn’t aim too high in your career; it’s important to set realistic goals.”
“Don’t aim too high with your first project; start small and build from there.”
Translation to Chinese:
“你在事业上不要目标定得太高；设定现实的目标很重要。”
“你的第一个项目不要目标定得太高；从小事做起，慢慢发展。”
This expression is often used as a cautionary advice,提醒人们要根据自身实际情况和能力来设定目标，避免因为目标过高而带来的挫败感和失望。 It encourages a balanced approach to goal-setting, where dreams and aspirations are tempered with realism and practicality.
