July 9, 2013
思想 ***

思想要合乎禮儀
而且要合情合理
思想潛力是無量
可影響你的言行
言行變成了習慣
到時想改就艱難
要保持善良思想
以免後悔已為晚

Thoughts ***

Always think in decent terms.  Make sure your thoughts are fair and reasonable.  One’s thinking can be powerful and immeasurable.   It can affect your words and deeds to the degree that it may even become a habit.  Once it becomes a habit, it will then be difficult to correct.  Therefore always think in a decent way, otherwise, you may end up with regrets.

壞習慣 ***

如發現有壞習慣
應及早去除壞習
否則可影響性格
影響到言行舉止
甚至乎日常生活
好可能影響工作
命運因此會改變
小心個人壞習慣

Bad habits ***

When people discover that they have a bad habit, they should get rid of it as soon as possible.  Otherwise, such a bad habit may affect their personality, their daily life and their work.  Such influence may change one’s fate.  Be alert to any bad habits.

真正放下 ***

想生活輕鬆愉快
首先要真正放下
放下日常的怨氣
新仇舊恨不要記
放下憂慮和牽掛
不執著個人妄想
說來容易做很難
難行難為也要做

Truthfully-- let it go ***

If you want to relax and live a pleasant life, you must first learn how to let go of things.  Let go of your day-to-day grievances.  Dont dwell on any old or new hatreds or grudges, but to let them go.  Lay down your worries and regrets.  Dont be obsessed with your personal delusions.  Although it is easier said than done, we all need to do it.
把握分秒 ***

人最寶貴是甚麼
不是名利和財富
而是分秒的光隂
有誰能保住明天
無人敢說保得住
因此要把握分秒
一定把今天做好
過個有意義人生

Grasp every minute ***

What is the most valuable in life?  It is not ones fame.  Nor is it ones wealth.  It is every second and every minute of ones life.  Who can guarantee what will happen tomorrow?  No one can really do that.  Therefore, it is better to grasp every single minute and make today a better day.  Then, you will find  your life is a meaningful one.

(Advanced Copy) Daily Advice July 5, 2013 真正的福份 Real blessing


七月五日

July 5, 2013
真正的福份 ***

莫以為福份天賜
其實是個人修養
如果能保持樂觀
對人對事會寬宏
願意勤奮去工作
遇到困難不灰心
當作磨練捱下去
這才是真正福份

Real blessing  ***

Do not think that one’s blessings come from heaven.   In fact, it is a personal accomplishment.  If you can remain optimistic, be willing to work hard, and not give up but treat it, as an experience when faced with adversity, such an attitude in dealing with life events, is indeed a blessing.

去到盡 ***

去到盡未必是好
福不一定享到盡
勢也不可使到盡
事最好不做到絕
話也不應說到絕
留條後路有彎轉
凡事要適可而止
才不會種下禍根

Go to the extreme ***    

Going to the extreme in whatever you do is not the best approach to deal with any event.   Don’t go to the extreme to take advantage of all your blessings.  Again, don’t go to the extreme and use up all the advantages of your environment.   Don’t go the extreme in your words and force people onto a dead end road.  It is better to leave some room and don’t burn all the bridges.  Keep everything in moderation and you will not get yourself into trouble.

(Advanced Copy) Daily Advice July 4, 2013 美好的生活 A better life

七月四日

July 4, 2013
美好的生活 ***

覺悟了生不帶來
明白了死不帶去
能夠想清楚看透
萬物自然會看淡
心情會清涼自在
煩惱自然就會少
智慧自然會增長
生活一定會美好

A better life   ***

When people realize that they came into this world with nothing and, when they leave this world they will take nothing with them, they will then look at things with an open mind and can see things more clearly.  As a result, frivolous desire will naturally be immaterial, and people will become calm in dealing with things, and feel comfortable in their daily life.  Naturally they will have fewer troubles.  Their wisdom will be enhanced and will live a better life.

盡量放下 ***

人終歸日增衰老
雞皮鶴髪唔出奇
行步龍鍾也不奇
背駝慢慢的老態
生死無常終會來
趁還健康人還在
能放下的盡放下
好好享受兒孫福

Try to let it go ***  

People naturally age.   It is not surprised to see them having winkled skin and white hair.  Also their physical movement becomes slower.   Their behavior definitely reveals that they have aged.   No one knows when death will knock at the door.  Therefore, while they are still alive and healthy, they should let go of as much as they can and spend their time enjoying the company of their children and their grand children.

(Advanced copy) Daily Advice July 3, 2013 成為知己 Become a confidant

七月三日

July 3, 2013
成為知己 ***

如果想成為知己
不是那麼的簡單
不應該是合則來
更不是不合則去
而是要用心培養
能做到寬宏大量
願意為對方犧牲
才可以友誼萬歲

Become a confidant   ***      

If you want to become a confidant, it isn’t as simple being together with your partner when there is an agreement, but depart from each other when there is a disagreement.  Both of you have to put in effort to be forgiving of each other.  Be willing to sacrifice a little graciously, when it is needed.  Only with such a behavior, will both of you be able to say, “Long live our friendship.”

路遙知馬力 ***

所謂路遙知馬力
又話日久見人心
不要用短暫眼光
來觀察判斷對方
給對方多些時間
表現個人的才幹
到那時才下判斷
才可是正確可信

Only time can tell  ***    

Only time can tell the strength of your horse.  Again only time can tell whether an individual is a good person or not.   Don’t rush to judge someone when you only know the individual for a short period of time.  You need to give adequate time before you can draw a  conclusion.  Give the individual time to show his/her performance before you judge him/her.  Only then, will your judgment be correct and credible.

七月二日

July 2, 2013
靜默 ***

靜默可提昇智慧
每天能抽半小時
盡量去忘卻自我
靜靜地默想沉思
可令智慧湧出來
使眼光豁達遠大

Meditation  ***

Meditation can enhance wisdom.   Reserve half an hour everyday for meditation.   During this period, forget yourself but focus on being calm.  If you practice this daily, it will enhance your wisdom, make you more open-minded, improve your decision-making process and inspire you to have the ability to perform better.  
慈悲心 ***

人人都有慈悲心
莫被物質的引誘
埋葬了慈悲的心
應抱著利人之心
和憐憫的心布施
做個善心的公民
參加慈善的團社
為社會盡一點力


Compassion ***   

Everyone has a compassionate side.  Don’t be tempted by expensive possessions and let go of your compassion.  Instead show your compassionate heart and offer a hand to do things for the benefit of everyone.  Be a good-hearted citizen and participate in charity work.   Contribute something to your community.
