怨言會逐漸增加
此時最好要試試
一鼓作氣深呼吸
把情緒安靜下來
重拾平安的心態

Dec 29 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言 之 忘掉痛苦

29. 忘掉痛苦 ***

身帶癌瘤的病人
如果未能看得通
長期活在痛苦中
往日化療的日子

這樣只會苦上苦
忘掉痛苦的日子
重新開始向前行

29. Forget the pain ***

不用怕勇敢向前
只要自己肯努力
那怕條路是難行

Dec 28 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言

27. 最重要關鍵 ***

有一天你會領悟
生老病死是過程
你自以為是健康
上天未必會認同
始終逃不過命運
一樣會感染癌病
此時最重要關鍵
就是自己的心態

27. Most important key factor ***

One day you will understand that birth, aging, being sick and death are all parts of life. You think you are very healthy but your body may not agree with you. You can’t escape your destiny if you have cancer. At this very moment your most important thing to help you get well, in addition to your medicine, is your attitude.

28. 心情過一生 ***

心情可影響一切
心情開朗萬事興
苦悶心情不如意
心情好壞是人為
天摔落下當被蓋
船到橋頭自然直
時間可沖淡一切
煩惱會煙消雲散

28. Attitude can affect your life ***

Your attitude can affect your life. If you are positive, everything will turn out to be fine, but if you are negative, nothing will seem to work. You control your attitude. By being positive, you won’t worry even when the sky seems to be falling in on you. Remember, when a boat docks, it always ends up straight. Time eventually will heal all wounds, and all troubles will disappear.

何不享樂忘病魔
合上眼睛向好望
享受當下好時光
讓自己開朗一些

19. Bursting into tears ***

Bursting into tears will not make your current situation any better. Your crying will make your enemy -- the illness -- feel happy. Why do you cry if it makes your enemy the illness happy?

Dec 23 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言

17. 愛美 ***

愛美是女性天性
奈何上天作弄人
頭髮失落光禿禿
對鏡自憐淚暗流
個人感受無人明
有苦只有自己知
唯有自己來安慰
他朝髮生會更美

17. Everyone likes to look good ***

To want to look good is a basic feminine’s instinct. It is a pity that you lose all your hair and it is understandable that you may cry when you look at yourself in the mirror. No one can understand your feeling. Only you yourself know what you are going through. What you should do is to remind yourself that when your hair grows back, it will be more beautiful.

18. 化苦為樂 ***

沒有頭髮光秃禿
冬天覺寒夏天熱
此人煩躁訪名醫
名醫脫下了假髮
同是一樣光秃禿
不覺煩躁露笑容
樂意接受上天賜
化苦為樂去醫人

18. Turn your bitterness into sweetness ***

Someone with a bare head complains about the fact that her head is cold in winter and hot in summer. She determines to visit a doctor for help. The famous doctor takes off her wig and shows the patient her bare head. She says she is willing to accept what heaven has given her and she doesn’t feel as agitated to have a bare head. On the contrary, she feels happy and focuses on providing medical services to help people.

幸好藥物有幫助
減輕病人的痛楚
加上家人的支持
護士仁慈的看護
化療過程雖難捱
一點溫情解痛楚
辛苦日子會過去

不要太看輕自己

Dec 21 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言 之 苦臉又何苦

Dec 21 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言

13. 苦臉又何苦 ***

你可以選擇擔憂
擔憂只加重負荷
對身體全無好處
反而會破壞心情
連累到你的家人
人人為你而擔憂
一家人苦口苦臉
這樣做人又何苦

13. Why bother to put on a sad face? ***

You may choose to be worried. Being worried only aggravates the load on yourself. It doesn’t do your body any good but destroys your mood. Your mood may affect every family member of yours and make them worried about you. As a result, the whole family will have a sad face. Why do you bother to wear a sad face?

14. 最好的療程 ***

化療最慘的感受
莫如疲倦無胃口
欲吃無味苦上苦
此時最好的療程
不可能只靠藥物
定要靠個人意志
保持積極的心態
日子會過得輕鬆

14. Best treatment course ***

The most miserable side effect of chemotherapy is that it makes you extremely tired and causes you to lose your appetite. It is even harder for you even if you want to eat, the food will not taste good but gives you a funny taste. The best treatment to overcome this cannot reply on medicine alone but depends on your attitude and your will to get well. Be positive and keep a positive point of view, your days will be more relaxing and you will be able to handle this difficult situation with ease.

Life is like walking. You have to continue walking even though the road is rough. The condition of the road may slow you down. Think about what’s ahead of you. The road is going to be smooth and comfortable. Don’t stop but keep on walking. Stopping too long doesn’t do you any good. Be strong and keep on walking until you reach your destination.


12. 希望 ***

面對病魔的作戰
如果感覺到憂慮
要對自己說一聲
將來應該是希望
而不應該是憂慮
憂慮是醫生責任
希望是病人擁有
希望永遠在人間

12. Hope ***

When you feel anxious about combating your illness, just remind yourself that “Worries belong to the past and hope is your future.” Let your doctor take care of your worries and you keep your hope. Remember hope is everywhere in this world.

Dec 18 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言 之 情緒低落

Dec 18 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言

7. 情緒低落 ***

人生的高低不平
生活的顛沛流離
順逆的縱橫交錯
體弱多病的痛楚
情緒難免會低落
感覺沮喪沒希望
此時最需要安慰
期望家人的支持

7. Unhappy mood ***

Life has its ups and downs. Wealth can drift away from the rich and leave them poor. Adversity seems to be everywhere along your road of life.

Sometimes you may think the world is unfair to you as if someone in heaven is controlling your destiny. Although you have already done your best to take good care of your health and you think you should be able to avoid a serous sickness, you still end up with cancer. There is no benefit in complaining about this situation. The best you can do is to accept reality.

Dec 17 New Book "Don't Give UP" - 抗病良言 之 晴天霹靂

Dec 17 New Book "Don't Give UP" - 抗病良言

5. 晴天霹靂 ***

晴天霹靂的日子
苦楚難言有誰憐
自問飲食好小心
天天運動做到足
煙酒不沾又如何
奈何還是有癌病
上天是否作弄人
還是前生作孽重

5. Lightning in a blue sky ***

Who can understand how you go through your life when you are living in a place with frequent lightning even in a blue sky. You are convinced that you are careful about what you eat, you exercise everyday, and you don’t drink and don’t smoke but you don’t understand why you end up afflicted with cancer. Is it because Almighty God is being unfair to you or you might have done something bad in your previous life and you are here in this life to pay back your debt?

6. 何罪之有 ***

做人無須向後看
有病並不是罪人
無須要後悔自責
怨自己疏於運動
但請勿忘記一點
運動員都會有病
小孩也會有癌病
他們又何罪之有

6. No need to feel guilty ***

Don’t look back but look forward. Being sick doesn’t mean you have done something wrong and you are a criminal. You may blame yourself for lack of doing exercises but don’t forget even athletes get sick too. Also children can be afflicted with cancer. What crime have they done? So don’t feel guilty but be strong and move on.

Dec 16 New Book "Don't Give Up" - 抗病良言

3. 一個癌字 ***

一個癌字嚇死人
病者聽聞心欲絕

翻天覆地的感受
感到前路是絕路
繼而感覺得自責
辛酸淚水不停流
苦楚難言有誰憐

3. Cancer ***

The word cancer scares people to death. When a patient first hears of the word cancer, he/she wants to cry but has no tears. Such news is shattering and makes him/her speechless. It is understandable that he/she feels like being on a dead end road. Subsequently he/she feels he/she is responsible for the cause of the disease and tears flow unchecked. No one can really understand this stress or know how to offer comfort.

4. 改變心態 ***

淚水暗暗向內流
憂愁苦臉過日子
這樣渡日沒好處
何不試改變心態
接受現實不再哭
從好的方面著想
笑看人生的苦難
勇敢猛進向前行

4. Change your point of view ***

There is no value if you bottle up your tears inside you and wears a sad face. Why don’t you accept reality and stop being sad but change your attitude? There is always a good side of everything. Look at the misery life brings, while wearing a smile, and be brave in trying to move on with vigor.

No one can go through your life’s journey in your place of birth, aging, being sick and death. Only you can understand how you feel, and how you deal with your ups and downs. The best way is to take it easy and you will have auspicious days ahead of you.

Daily Advice December 2, 2011 錢多錢少

因個人健康問題,由二零一一年十二月七日七字忠言暫停發表。

多謝讀者的慰問。

Due to personal health issue, no advice will be published from December 7, 2011. I received many emails and thank you for your caring message. Hopefully I shall be able to offer more advice next year


十二月二日 December 2, 2011

錢多錢少 ***

錢多錢少無所謂
重要是個人心態
有錢但沒有快樂
過的日子可想像
一定不會是好過
冇錢但心情開朗
餸菜多少無所謂
嘻嘻哈哈過日子

Money may not be everything ***

It doesn’t matter how much money you may have. What is more important is your attitude. If you have plenty of money but you don’t have happiness, your days will not be joyful days. By contrast, if you are open-minded and optimistic and don’t care what kind of meals you may have, I am sure your days will be full of joy and happiness.

粗衣麻布 ***

粗衣麻布也會暖
清茶淡飯一樣飽
比起名牌的衣服
鮑心翅肚的晚餐
可萛生活不公平
但世上最美好的
不是雙眼見到的
而是內心的感受

Cheap clothes ***

Cheap clothes can also keep you warm and simple meals can make you full too. Comparing what you have to named brand clothes and rich meals, you may think that the world is not fair. The truth of the matter is that, what is better is not what you see but what comes from within you.
