六月一日 June 1, 2011

今年的願望***

時光逝去不復返
轉眼而是六月時
想想今年的願望
有甚麼還未完成
拿一張纸寫下來
重新作個新計劃
努力勤奮去執行
夢想會逐一成真

Review this year’s goals***

Once time elapses, it doesn’t return. All a sudden, it is now June. Review your goals for this year and find out what hasn’t been delivered yet. Write down the list on a piece of paper and start making a new plan how you can achieve them. Work hard and diligently to deliver your plan. If you do that, ultimately you will succeed.


慶飲一杯***

回味半年的成績
有沒有修身行正
有沒有埋頭苦幹
有沒有德行操守
有沒有節約開支
有沒有止惡行善
如果有值得慶祝
為自己慶飲一杯

Celebrate your achievements with a drink***

Review your half yearly performance. Ask yourself. Have you practiced your moral culture? Have you been working hard? Have you been behaving well? Have you cut down your expenditure? Have you stopped doing deeds that are harmful to others but only perform good deeds? If your answer is yes, you should celebrate. You definitely deserve to celebrate with a glass of good wine.

五月三十一日 May 31, 2011

及早回頭***

世上無不勞而獲
懒惰是種壞習慣
可能得短暫輕鬆
長久始終會失敗
結果是一事無成
及早回頭要勤力
為己為人謀幸福
為自己創番事業


Turn around quickly***

There is no such thing as gaining something without contributing any effort. Laziness is a bad habit. You may gain a short term relief but in the long run, you will fail and accomplish nothing. Turn around quickly and do something for yourself and your society. Work hard to accomplish something for yourself.


那愁沒飯吃***

只要天地人同在
那愁天天沒飯吃
有地便可以耕種
正所謂種瓜得瓜
只要不怕出汗水
總會年年有收成
社會立足也一樣
勤奮工作會成功

No need to worry about how to make a living***

As long as you are alive in this world, there is no need to worry about not having meals to eat. As long as there is earth, you can always plant something. If you plant melons, you will reap melons. As long as you are willing to sweat, you will have good harvests. Working in this society is the same. As long as you work diligently, you will succeed in your career.

五月三十日 May 30, 2011

正人君子***

做人要嚴守戒律
正所謂家有家規
要謹記國有國法
不可以行為不檢
更不可狂放不覊
雖然是綁手綁腳
也應要遵守規律
做一位正人君子

Honorable gentleman***

Everyone must observe disciplines in life. You must observe family rules and state laws. You must control your behavior and should not act inappropriately. Although family rules and state laws impose their restrictions, still be an honorable gentleman and observe those rules and laws that they represent.

恩義要牢記***

別人恩義要牢記
不應該忘恩負義
危機時貴人幫助
事成後不說多謝
忘記求人的諾言
甚至乎不再露面
難怪會被人鄙視
永遠失信于朋友

Always remember those who are kind to you***

Always remember those who are kind to you. Don’t ever forget such favors. If you are not grateful, never say a word of thanks, forget what you have promised and not even say hello to the people who have offered favors to you, you will be despised by everyone. In fact, no one will ever trust you again.

五月二十七日 May 27, 2011

問心無愧***

人說做人甚艱難
其實不是太艱難
只要肯行善止惡
本著慈悲心做人
凡做任何一件事
時刻都提醒自己
要做到問心無愧
那就會心安理得

Having a clear conscience***

Some people say it is difficult to be a good person. In fact, it isn’t that difficult. As long as you always do good deeds, never do anything that is injurious to others, at all times maintain a merciful heart and remind yourself that whatever you do, you do it with a clear conscience, you will live in peace and you definitely are a good person.

你的成就***

今時今日的成就
一切是自己選擇
也是自己創出來
如果認為不滿意
立即努力去奮鬥
向成功人士學習
增長自己的智慧
成功率是會提昇

Your achievements***

All your personal achievements are results of your personal decisions and efforts. If you are not satisfied with your achievements, do something immediately. You may enrich your personal knowledge by learning from successful people. With such improved knowledge, your chances of success will be higher.

五月二十六日 May 26, 2011

自欺欺人***

阿諛諂媚的語言
都是人人喜聽的
也都是一種通病
明明自己做錯了
也望別人來稱讚
這樣做人的態度
其實是沒有意義
可算是自欺欺人

Deceiving oneself and others***

Everybody likes to hear flattering words.
This very human reaction is a weakness and makes you vulnerable. Sometimes you know you are wrong, yet you expect others to praise you regardless of that fact. Such expectation is unreal and has no meaning at all. Actually you are deceiving both yourself and others.


身心安樂***

有些人滿腹牢騷
埋怨天地過日子
動不動怨天尤人
並搞到家嘈屋閉
做人如此何樂也
怨嘆命運也無用
試改變心態做人
或可以身心安樂

Keep body and mind peaceful***

Some people are full of grievances and complaints. They always complain about everything and there is no peace at home. Under this environment, how can anyone be happy? There is no benefit in complaining about life. Try to change your attitude. Be positive and you will have peace at heart and be happy.

Daily Advice May 25, 2011

五月二十五日 May 25, 2011

處事要謹慎***

步要一步一步行
飯要一口一口吃
工要一點一點做
看人看事要謹慎
不可以草率了事
透過精細的思考
才作出個人判斷
如此處事會安全

Handle everything cautiously***

When you walk, you must take one step at a time. When you eat, you must take a small mouthful at a time. When you work, you must complete one task at a time. Handle everything cautiously and don’t do things carelessly. You must think carefully before you make any judgment. If you follow these rules, you should feel assured that you are handling everything correctly.


棘手的難事***

遇上棘手的難事
未能心不生煩躁
返而會慌亂無主
這因為未能做好
未雨綢繆的功夫
平時要安居思危
遇難時智慧處理
可保安寧解問題

Thorny and difficult task***

When faced with a thorny and difficult task, most people cannot control their emotions and lose control of themselves. This is because they haven’t done enough preparation work. It is advisable to think of possible dangers even when you live a seemingly stable environment. If you have done enough preparation, you will always feel comfortable to use your wisdom to deal with any difficult task.

五月二十四日 May 24, 2011

勤奮努力***

每個人要走的路
原本應該是不同
何必要去羨慕人
更何必要人比人
開始是零無所謂
只要肯勤奮努力
財富可慢慢建立
只差是來早或遲

Work diligently***

Each person follows a different path in their life time. There is no reason to envy each other and there is no meaning in trying to compare lives with one another. Even you start with nothing, but if you are willing to work diligently, you can build up your wealth slowly. The only difference is when will such a day comes.


鼓勵自己***

每夜在臨睡之前
作一個簡單思考
想想今天的成就
記錄下來才去睡
到了星期日那天
看一星期的成績
作為是一種督促
鼓勵自己求進步

Encourage yourself to do better***

Every night before you go to bed, think of what you did during the day. Mark down today’s achievement before you sleep. During the weekend, review your weekly achievements and use these records to encourage yourself to do better. Make sure you are making good progress in achieving your personal goals.

冷淡無情***

冷淡無情的社會
總覺得窮途末路
像在地獄中受苦
恐懼得痛不欲生
這一些都可改變
對自己大膽地說
我人還在不用怕
放開懷抱向前行

Living in a heartless society***

Living in a heartless society makes you think that you are heading along a dead end road. Sometimes you feel like you are living in hell and develop a feeling of fear. It makes you think life is meaningless and don’t want to live in this world. But all these feelings can be changed. Be brave and tell yourself that you don’t have to be afraid. Be open minded and move on.

創一番事業***

凡事一切靠自己
做事要腳踏實地
一步一腳印去做
辛苦努力去創業
遭到歧視和冷落
也要勇敢去面對
嘔心瀝血顯潛能
為自己創番事業

Build your own career***

One’s career depends on one’s own effort. Be practical and work your way upwards step by step. Work hard to build your career even if you encounter discrimination or being isolated from others. Be brave in facing reality and deal with any situation whether it is good or bad. Remember to work wholeheartedly to build your own career.

五月二十日 May 20, 2011

攀得更高***

初入行的頭幾年
除了靠個人學歷
是靠個人的能力
但最重要是思維
更要有學習精神
工作中吸取經驗
把智慧盡量提昇
將來會攀得更高

Climbing up the corporate ladder***

During the initial years of any new job, in addition to your educational background, you need to demonstrate your potentials and capabilities. But the most important thing is to use your brain. Also you need a learning spirit and learn from your practical experience to add to your store of knowledge. If you can do that, you can climb higher up in the corporate ladder.

後悔莫及***

意氣用事惹麻煩
長期忍讓未必好
辦事定要用理智
事情不可看外表
外表會迷惑人心
理智做事是上策
不會出現大差錯
而弄到後悔莫及

Be careful so that you won’t have any regrets***

Doing things without thinking may end up causing you trouble. Enduring everything may not necessarily be a wise move. You must handle things using your wisdom. Don’t judge things by their appearance. People’s appearance may mislead you. Handle things with knowledge and wisdom; otherwise you may make a mistake and regret it later.

冷暖自己知***

人生冷暖自己知
感受是個人擁有
無論是哀痛快樂
沒有人可代替你
自己的桃園仙境
可是別人的地獄
把自己心情做好
一切都會是美好

Only you can feel it***

Only you can feel what kind of life you have. Such a feeling is very personal. No one can say, on your behalf, whether your life is a happy one or a sad one. What you consider as a paradise may be another people’s hell. What you really need to do is to control your own attitude. If you maintain a positive attitude, everything will turn out to be lovely.

幸福人生***

認清自己人生觀
追求幸福的人生
不應只信任命運
不應只靠好運氣
而要勤奮去争取
世上無不勞而獲
只要肯勞心勞力
便贏得幸福人生

A happy life***

First clearly recognize what you need in your life. Then put in your best effort to pursue your dream. Don’t rely on your destiny alone and don’t depend on good luck. Rather, work diligently to achieve your personal goal. Remember nothing is free. You must put in a lot of hard work in order to achieve a happy life.

瞞天過海***

莫以為瞞天過海
便可以作奸犯科
違背良心的事情
始終是天地不容
正所謂天網恢恢
到頭來疏而不漏
犯罪行惡的所為
始終被社會處罰

Don’t think you can fool people***

Don’t think you can fool people, violate the law and commit a crime. Heaven and earth will know you’ve done something wrong if you violate your own conscience and do something injurious to people. There is justice in this world and you cannot escape from it. If you have committed a crime, you will be punished by the law.


留下的痕跡***

凡走過會留痕跡
人的一生也一樣
你所做的好與壞
總會有天知地知
只要慈悲去待人
凡事對得住良心
雖不會留芳萬世
也不會遺臭萬年

What is it that you leave behind***

Whenever people walk through a road, they always leave something behind that other people can trace back. Whether your deed is good or bad, it will be known. Always be kind to people and don’t do anything that is harmful to people. Although you may not leave behind a famous name, you won’t leave behind a bad name as a legacy.

天天都無所事事
這樣做人沒趣味
做人應該要勤奮
對自己深具信心
為自己身命負責
為人為己謀幸福
做一個有用之人

Be idle and do nothing***

Some people like to be idle and do nothing. Such behavior has no meaning in life. You should work hard and believe in yourself that you have confidence and that you are a responsible person who can make things happen. Go and do something for yourself and for the people around you. Be a contributor to your society.

追上潮流***

今日世界不停變
進步快到不可信

五月十三日 May 13, 2011


守口如瓶***

小心駛得萬年船
誰人背後無人說
那個人前不說人
是是非非難避免
謹記不輕信流言
凡事應審慎分析
才可以出言判斷
最好是守口如瓶

Keeping one's mouth shut***

There is a Chinese saying that if you are careful, you can sail a boat safely for thousands of years. Who doesn’t say bad things about other people behind their back? Who doesn’t talk about other people’s behavior? Such talk is unavoidable. You just have to remember that people shouldn’t listen to rumors, but they do. Analyze everything in detail before you come to any conclusion. The best thing to do is to keep one’s mouth shut.


從容安定***

聽到不想聽的事
內心總會有不安
若果不控制情緒
會出現忿恨念頭
做出非理性事件
無論任何情況下
要練到從容安定
才不會魯莽行事

Keep calm at all times***

If you hear something that you don’t want to hear, you will feel uncomfortable. If you don’t control your emotion, you may get out of control and become so angry that you may do something irrational. No matter under what condition, always keep calm. Then, you won’t do anything regrettable.

五月十二日 May 12, 2011

會好憎自己***

如果長期與人比
追求別人的擁有
這樣做人無意義
會永遠失去自己
失去快樂和幸福
天天過著的日子
只是為別人而活
日久會好憎自己

Someday you will hate yourself***

If you continuously compare yourself to others and always want to own what other people have, you will find your life is meaningless. You will lose yourself and won’t find fortune and happiness. You are not living for your own good; you only live for others. Doing so, over a period of time, you will hate yourself.


討好別人***


刻意去討好別人
未必是可得人心
反而使人生惡感
對你未必會信任
討好別人靠不住
自己努力才實際
踏實做人創世界
才算對得起自己

Should you flatter other people?

Flattering other people may seem to be desirable, but it doesn’t guarantee you will win other people’s hearts. In fact, they may not like you and trust you because of this. The practical thing to do is to depend on your own effort. Be practical and work hard. Only then, you can take good care of yourself.

不太興奮要冷靜
內心要進行分析
把優點做到更好
聽到别人的抨擊
更加要頭腦清醒
分析所言的弱點
努力改正做到好

Flattery and criticism***

When people flatter you, don’t get too excited. Be calm and analyze your blessing. Find out the good points and invest more efforts to make them better. When people criticize you, again keep calm and try to fully understand your weaknesses. Invest more efforts to improve on your weaknesses till you transform them into strengths.

優點和長處***

人有自己的優點
也有自己的弱點
能及早發揮優點
把每天工作做好
不但可增長成績
還可增強自信心
贏得别人的讚賞
前途一定是美好

Talent and strength***

Everyone has one’s strengths and weaknesses. The sooner you can discover your strengths, the sooner you can apply them in your work. This way, you will achieve your results sooner. Once you demonstrate your strengths, you will build up your confidence and win other people’s respect. You will definitely have a bright future.

歲月走得快***

往日精壯的少年
轉眼成奮鬥中年
天天汗水揾两餐
憂柴憂米為頭家
只求子女快成長
還要儲蓄過晚年
將來可創新天地
建立退休的樂園

Time passes by quickly***

Time goes by so quickly that your youth flies by, and you become a middle aged person. You work extremely hard to support your family. In addition to raising your children, you also need to think of your retirement. Start saving as soon as you can so that you won’t become a financial burden when you do retire.

歲月不留人***

歲月流逝人會老
坐著也會打瞌睡
躺著時則睡不著
剛剛說完的話題
轉眼又再重複說
此時要鼓勵自己
人老但是心不老
始終寶刀還未老

Once time is gone, it never returns***

Time goes fast and people get old just as fast. Old people can fall asleep when they are sitting down. Yet when they are lying down, they have difficulty falling asleep. Sometimes after they finish saying something, they repeat it immediately. Always remember to remind yourself that your body may get old but you are still young at heart. It is like the Chinese saying which says you are capable of handling the treasured sword even though you may be old.

五月九日 May 9, 2011

一種幸福***

每一個人的愉快
不應寄託在外界
把權財特别看重
忽略內在的感受
一旦權財受損失
便感覺痛不欲生
其實有家人支持
已經是一種幸福

A kind of happiness***

An individual’s happiness should not depend on the outside environment. Don’t only focus on wealth and power and forget what it is that you really want inside yourself. Don’t feel depressed once you have lost either your wealth or power. You always have support from your family members. This kind of support is a kind of happiness.

不知足***

如感覺不到幸福
其實是極大悲哀
身邊有家人存在
有份工作可生活
其實是非常幸福
為何不感到幸福
事實只是不知足
身在福中不知福

Don’t be discontented***

It is actually a sad thing if you don’t feel you are fortunate. Actually you should feel comfortable and fortunate because you have family members at your side and they are willing to support you at all times. You also have a job. Why don’t you feel fortunate? The truth of the matter is that you are not satisfied with what you have. But the fact is that you don’t know how fortunate you are.
