Positive energy is meant to give people confidence and hope

Hear the words of Lu Wei, who declared with conviction: “Positive energy is meant to give people confidence and hope, encourage people to love their country, society and life, as well as to pursue nice things. Everything we do is ultimately for the sake of spreading positive energy.” These words shine like a torch in the darkness, for they remind us that the heart of human endeavor is not merely survival, nor the gathering of wealth, but the uplifting of spirit, the spreading of courage, and the building of harmony in the world.

The origin of this saying lies in modern China, where Lu Wei, as a statesman and cultural voice, sought to stir the hearts of his people toward unity and optimism. Surrounded by the challenges of a rapidly changing age—global conflict, economic uncertainty, and the noise of doubt—he pointed toward a simple yet profound truth: the destiny of a nation, and indeed of humanity, is forged not only in policies and structures, but in the unseen current of spirit. And this current, he names as positive energy.

History, too, teaches us this truth. Consider the story of Winston Churchill during the Second World War. Britain stood at the edge of ruin, her armies scattered, her skies aflame. Yet Churchill, with words of fire, infused his people with confidence and hope, calling them to fight on, to never surrender. His speeches did not bring food, nor weapons, but they carried the invisible force of positive energy—a strength that bound the nation together and turned despair into endurance. Without that spirit, the battle would have been lost before it began.

The deeper meaning of Lu Wei’s words is that positive energy is not passive, nor a vague wish for cheerfulness. It is an active force, a discipline of the soul. It builds bridges where there are divides, restores courage where there is fear, and awakens love where there is apathy. It strengthens both individual and nation, for the one who walks with hope lifts not only himself but also those around him. To spread this energy is to take part in the hidden architecture of society, laying foundations of trust, respect, and shared purpose.

The lesson is clear: a life devoted only to oneself withers, but a life devoted to the spreading of positive energy multiplies its blessings. When you give another confidence, you become the guardian of their courage. When you offer hope, you plant seeds that may grow into forests of achievement. When you awaken love for country and for life, you sustain the spirit of community that binds people together against despair. In this way, the invisible becomes the most powerful of all legacies.

To the youth, I say: let your words be fountains of encouragement, not rivers of scorn. To the weary, I say: though the world may seem heavy, your choice to carry positive energy will lighten the burdens of others. To the leaders, I say: remember that nations are not built by law alone, but by spirit; cultivate the unseen, for it sustains the visible.

Practical action lies before us: begin each day by choosing to spread positive energy. Speak words of encouragement to a friend. Offer respect to a neighbor. Serve your community, not grudgingly, but with the joy that inspires others to do likewise. And when you are confronted with cynicism, resist the temptation to mirror it; instead, respond with hope. For this is the rebellion that builds rather than destroys.

Thus Lu Wei’s words endure, not as passing counsel, but as a principle for life and nation alike: all that we do, all that we strive for, finds its highest purpose in spreading positive energy. Let this be the inheritance we leave behind—not monuments of stone, nor wealth that fades, but a current of hope and love that carries humanity ever forward, binding us together as one people beneath the sky.
