Today’s pieces of advice are devoted to my loving wife who passed away a year ago.

二月一日	February 1, 2013
最快樂時光  *** 人生最快樂時光 並不是大學畢業 也不是初戀情懷 成家立室都不是 養育嬰孩都不算 最幸福又最快樂 是能夠捱過風浪 同偕白首活到老	Happiest times in life  * **  The happiest day of one’s life is not the college graduation date.  Nor it is the time when you met your first love.  It is neither your marriage day, nor the day you became a parent.  The happiest time is when you are able to handle adversity, with your partner at your side, and both of you can go through thin and thick and grow old together.
天賜良緣 *** 天賜良緣是福份 有緣才能在一起 好好珍惜身邊人 互相尊敬同甘苦 有樂大家要分享 有難大家齊分擔 共同奮鬥過難關 定可雲開見月明	Being together is a blessing   *** Being together is a divine blessing.  Sometimes people believe that it is fate that brings two people together.  Therefore treasure those who are around you.  Always respect each other, share both joy and sorrow.   Be willing to struggle through tough times and you will be able to see bright days.

Daily Advice January 31, 2013 珍惜好知已 Cherish good friendship

一月三十一日	January 31, 2013
珍惜好知已 *** 信不信全是由你 有時最好的對話 就是相對無一言 只是兩眼望兩眼 無須說話心已照 遇上這樣的朋友 應該是要恭喜你 知已難尋要珍惜	Cherish good friendship  ***    It is up to you to believe it or not. Sometimes the best dialogue is to remain silent.   You can use your eyes to deliver your message.    If you find someone who can communicate with you without words, you should be congratulated.  You should treasure such valuable friendship.
友誼萬歲 *** 友誼不是一天建 是經過一段階段 才可以結成知己 知音難求要珍惜 莫忽視這份緣份 大家多些分享樂 莫因一些瑣碎事 破壞一個好友誼	Long live the friendship   *  Friendship is not built in one day.   It takes time to get to know each other before they can be true friends.  It is not easy to find true friends; therefore you should treasure such friendship.  Don’t destroy such friendship because of some small disagreements.

Daily Advice January 30, 2013 向準目標行 Pursuit your prospective target

一月三十日	January 30, 2013
向準目標行 *** 人生如同一場戲 人人是戲中角色 如想演好個角色 首先要認識自己 自己是個怎樣人 人生目的是甚麼 努力去訓練自己 向準目標去表演	Pursuit your prospective target *** Life is like a drama.  Everyone has to perform one’s role in the drama.  If you want to play a good role, you must first understand your own character and what your purpose in life is.  Then put in your best efforts to perform your role.
學習過程 *** 人生是學習過程 一出世學行學講 入學先要學寫字 踏入社會如入學 天天是新的一課 一定要與時並進 不斷去提昇知識 才可生存在社會	Learning process  *** Life is a learning process.  When you are born, you need to learn how to walk and how to speak.   When you are admitted to school, you need to learn how to write.   When you enter the working force, everyday is a new lesson.  You must learn at the same speed that the world is progressing.    In order to survive in your society, you must continuously upgrade your knowledge.

Daily Advice January 29, 2013 激氣生氣 Why be angry?

一月二十九日	January 29, 2013
激氣生氣 *** 如果你應為是對 錯是在別人身上 為甚麼還要生氣 而弄到寢食不安 用別人犯了的錯 來懲罰自己情緒 激氣到沒法安樂 這樣做法值得嗎	Why be angry? *** If you think the other person is wrong, why are you still angry even though you have done nothing wrong?  Why let anger destroy your sleeping and eating habits?  Why do you punish yourself because of the mistakes made by others?   Why do you become angry to the degree that you destroy your own happiness?  Is this reaction worth it?
隨遇而安 *** 遇上不如意事時 無須要過分焦慮 無須要忍氣吞聲 無須要壓抑情緒 保持寬容的心態 用幽默方式應付 笑看人生渡日子 心情會隨遇而安	Let it go *** When you are faced with any unhappy events, you don’t have to be too worried.  There is no need to endure any hardship, and become depressed.  Just maintain a forgiving heart and a good humor to cope with the situation.  If you can laugh at life’s events, you will relax and be happy.

Daily Advice January 28, 2013 笑看人生 Laughter in life

一月二十八日	January 28, 2013
笑看人生  *** 不如意時常八九 遭受到挫折之時 無須要苦口苦臉 何不學笑看人生 常帶著一顆笑容 相貌也和藹可親 與人共處會輕鬆 生活會多姿多彩	Laughter in life *** Eight or nine out of ten life events are disappointments.  When faced with setbacks, there is no need to put on a sad face.  Why don’t you look at life with laughter?  Always wear a smile and you will look amiable and become more approachable.  With such a smile it will be easy to get along with people and life will be relaxing and colorful.
心靈的牢籠 *** 人生的成敗優劣 又或者福禍富貧 都是上天的恩賜 不是人能夠改變 這些心靈的牢籠 順境逆境無相差 應及早放下憂慮 走出困境活自在	Being kept in a cage *** People’s success, failure, wealth or poverty is a gift from God.  No human being can change that.  It is as if you are being kept in a cage.  There is no difference whether you are having a good time or facing adversity.  If this is the case, why don’t you let go off any concerns you may have, jump out of any difficult situation and relax.

Daily Advice January 25, 2013 自作自受 You deserve what you do

一月二十五日	January 25, 2013
自作自受 *** 自作始終是自受 根本與人是無關 為何死牛一便頸 弄到結果沒路行 若然雙方不讓步 兩敗俱傷是當然 凡事應有個界限 超岀界限是理虧	You deserve what you do *** Whatever you are currently experiencing is a result of what you have done.  It has nothing to do with what others do to you.  Don’t be stubborn and end up on a dead end road.  Sometimes you need to give in a little otherwise, if you continue to fight with others, both of you will end up getting hurt.  Remember everything has a limit.  If you exceed such a limit, you are in fact violating a rule of nature.
一言一行 ***   每一個人的言行 除了會影響自身 會影響家庭親人 有時會影響朋友 做人不可以忽略 自己的一言一行 本著良心去待人 凡事要保留餘地	Every word and every action *** Everyone's words and actions will affect their lives.  Not only do such words and actions affect themselves, they also affect both their family members and friends.  Therefore you should not underestimate your words and actions but maintain a kind heart when dealing with people and should give in a little and leave room for building a good relationship.

Daily Advice January 24, 2013 人要有智慧 People need wisdom

一月二十四日	January 24, 2013
人要有智慧 *** 人一定要有智慧 但不是一朝可成 要經過一番努力 而且要學以致用 有智慧可看得通 可分析是非黑白 不作錯誤的判斷 才可以消災解難	People need wisdom *** Although people need wisdom, you can’t develop it overnight.  Wisdom is gained through learning from bitter experience, and putting what you have learned to good use.   Once you have acquired some wisdom, you can see things more clearly and understand what is right and what is wrong.  Then you will be able to solve problems more effectively, and prevent disasters from happening.
亡羊補牢 *** 每朝早對鏡自語 亡羊補牢未為晚 人生總會有上落 事情也都是一樣 有成功也有失敗 無須要灰心放棄 只要有毅力耐性 環境定會有好轉	Never too late to correct errors *** Each morning stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself that it is never too late to correct any errors.  Life always has ups and downs.   Similarly whatever you do, you will have success and failures.   There is no need to give up when you fail. As long as you have perseverance and patience, you will be able to improve the situation and turn it around.

Daily Advice January 23, 2013 雲開見月明 When the clouds are gone, you will see the moon

一月二十三日	January 23, 2013
雲開見月明 *** 想享樂生活樂趣 一定要保持樂觀 心情才會是開朗 像似雲開見月明 思想也會是健康 智慧也隨著增長 行動也變得敏捷 辦事也順頭順腦	When the clouds are gone, you will see the moon *** If you want to enjoy pleasures and have some fun in life, you must remain optimistic at all times.  If you do that, you will sustain a cheerful mood.  It is like after the clouds are gone, you will see the lovely moon.  You will have healthy thoughts, you will improve your knowledge, and you will be quick in action.  Whatever you do, you will do it well.
如想快樂 *** 如真想得到快樂 不為得失而煩躁 不為慾望而賣命 不為名利而受賄 不沈迷紙醉生涯 要保持個人尊嚴 不與人拼命鬥爭 能放得下定快樂	Be happy *** If you really want to be happy, don’t fret over gains and losses. Don’t overly exhaust yourself to pursue frivolous desires.  Don’t be a slave to pursuit of fame and wealth.   Don’t live a “red light” life but maintain self-respect.  Don’t compare yourself to others and fight for being equal to others.  If you can suppress these destructive impulses, you will be happy.

Daily Advice January 22, 2013 溝通是學問 Communication is an art

一月二十二日	January 22, 2013
溝通是學問  *** 溝通也是門學問 如果不善於溝通 說話時拙於言詞 當然是表達不當 人緣當然不會好 事業也難有成就 家庭生活也一樣 很難會有好結果	Communication is an art  *** Communication is an art.  If your communication is poor, your expression will be improper.  You will not be able to articulate your message.  Needless to say, people will have difficulty in understanding you and not be willing to befriend you.  This handicap will hinder your career development.   Similarly, this affects the relationship among your family members, and you may not have a happy family.
共鳴的信任 *** 對朋友如能體貼 彼此會容易瞭解 誤會機會會減少 就算有少少爭執 只要大家能體諒 不用解釋和道歉 也可以彼此包容 保持共鳴的信任	Echo trust  *** If you are thoughtful and caring to your   friend, both of you will be able to better understand each other.  This type of behavior reduces the chances of misunderstanding.   Even if there is a little dispute, both of you will forgive each other a little without any explanation and apology.   This is because there is a resonance of trust between you two.
