無須太炫耀 ***
好運無須太炫耀
運差也要忍多少
不可因一時激動
充滿著義憤填胸
做出愚蠢的反應
把事情愈弄愈差
甚至差到無灣轉
到時後悔已太遲
No need to show off ***
There is no need to show off when you are lucky. But when you have no luck, you don't need to be upset but rather, be patient. Don’t let the unlucky situation make you angry and lead you to do stupid things. Don't make your situation any worse than it is now otherwise you will regret it. By then it may be too late to recover.
炫耀是缺點 ***
喜歡炫耀不是好
其實可能是缺點
雖然會有優越感
但細心想清想楚
口服心服有幾人
真正認同有幾人
願聽從又有幾人
肯尊敬又有幾人
To show off is a sign of weakness ***
Showing off isn't a smart move. As a matter of fact, it can be quite foolish. Although it appears you may have an advantage over others, in fact, no one really agrees with, listens to, respects and obeys you, if they see a display of selfish pride.

隨緣而安***
沒有人不可代替
沒事物必須擁有
如果能看透這點
對失去的人和物
不是甚麼大不了
無須要太過悲傷
而弄到茶飯不思
一切要隨緣而安
Go along with reality ***
In a workplace, everyone can be replaced and there is nothing that you must possess. If you understand this philosophy, you will not care whether it is a win or a loss. You will not think it is a big deal if you lose something. There is no need to be extraordinarily sad when you lose something. Don’t let it bother you to the degree that you cannot eat or drink. Try your best to go along with what happens and accept reality.
知錯能改***
不拿別人的錯誤
日日來懲罰自己
也不拿自己的錯
時常去懲罰別人
更不拿自己的錯
用來去懲罰自己
只要是知錯能改
一切都會是美好
Correct your mistakes ***
Don’t use the excuse of other people’s wrong doing to punish yourself. Also don’t take it upon yourself to punish others. Also don’t punish yourself for your own mistakes. As long as you understand that you have made a mistake and are willing to correct it, that itself is good enough.

Being a wise man, you can tolerate a stupid person. Being a tranquil person, you can tolerate a disorderly person. Being a knowledgeable person, you can tolerate someone who knows very little. If you can tolerate an incompetent person, you can perform an outstanding and important job.

貪得無厭***
貪得無厭的行為
是不會受人歡迎
連自己也難開心
細心去想深一層
擁有過份的貪婪
又怎能容易滿足
滿足未達到之前
又怎會開心愉快
Being insatiably greedy***
Nobody welcomes anyone who is insatiably greedy even he, himself, finds it difficult to be happy. If you think carefully, how can you be satisfied if you are excessively greedy? The reason why you are not happy because you can't be happy unless all your greed is fully satisfied.
人上人***
道德完備的賢良
一定會心胸寬容
能忍能讓能饒人
心地善良去對人
從來不利己傷人
對上對下能做到
和睦一致地相處
可算得是人上人
Top notch person***
A gentleman possessing good morals surely has a big heart. He can endure adversity. He certainly is capable of giving in a little and forgiving a little. With such an attitude, he will never do anything to hurt anyone. He definitely gets along well with people above and below him. He definitely can be called a top notch gentleman.

两虎相争***
在職場非常時期
要明白两虎相争
一定必會有一傷
切勿再火上加油
讓人一步為上策
裝傻作瘋也要做
只要撿回條性命
慢慢等待好時機
Competition***
When two people are competing with each other during a critical period in a workplace, one of them will get burnt. Under this situation, it may not be a good move to add fire. It is advisable to make one step backward or even pretend to be ignorant, you may be able to save your job and then, wait for your next opportunity.
相爭非常時***
職場相爭非常時
最佳的一個政策
是把自己的意圖
絲毫不露出馬腳
最壞的一個政策
是強調自己需要
對方本來有興趣
即時會改變態度
What to do at critical times***
One of the best approaches, during a critical moment in a workplace, is to be flexible about your plan and don't let others know what you intend to do. The worst is to insist on what you want. Even if your opponent has some interest, they will change their mind and reject your plan, if you are rigid and inflexible in your requirements.

表現自己***
要積極表現自己
表現是推銷動力
表現不是出風頭
如果你身懷絕技
但謙虛藏而不露
上司就無法賞識
到頭來空懷壯志
只嘆句懷才不遇
Demonstrate your potential***
You need to demonstrate your potential at all times. Such a performance is not an act but gives you power to move forward. By contrast, if you have a lot of hidden potential and are too modest not to show it, how do you expect other people to appreciate what you have? In the end, your talents are being wasted.
行正道***
表現也要行正道
不應是為爭風頭
不用來壓倒他人
不應該做小動作
突出自己貶低人
這樣會令人生厭
會成為眾矢之的
那就沒有意義了
Follow a decent path***
Whatever you do, you need to follow a decent path. Don't do anything injurious to others. Don't do it for the sake of being famous for a moment. Nor do it to make people look bad. If this is what you like to do, you only become everybody's enemy. Ultimately you are the target of public criticism. That doesn't add any value to your life.

責任感***
工作不只是謀生
而應是一種責任
責任感來自內心
而不是為了謀生
更不是為了升職
或者為討好老闆
只有保持責任感
才表現得更卓越
Sense of responsibility***
Working is not for the sake of making a living. It comes with a sense of responsibility but it has to come from your innermost being. It is not about making money, nor is it about promotion. Definitely it is not for purposes of flattering your boss. Only if you have a true sense of responsibility, then you will be able to perform remarkably.
當機立斷***
能做大事的人才
辦事會當機立斷
决不會拖泥帶水
更不可能慢吞吞
一定能夠拿得起
而且可以放得下
從來不荒廢時光
才可作轟烈之事
Make the right decision at the right time***
A capable person knows when to make the right decision at the right time. They will not procrastinate and do a sloppy job. Nor will they slow down. They are capable of picking up a task easily and show no hesitation to let it go if need to be. They never waste any time. With such an attitude, they definitely can perform an outstanding job.
