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.
