今天從頭來***
如果有人傷你心
欺騙了你的感情
已成事實不可變
最好保持著開朗
把內心一切悲哀
所受的一切委屈
不再想又不再提
從今天起從頭來
From today start over again***
If someone hurts your feelings and this cannot be changed, the best thing to do is to stay calm. Get rid of all your innermost sorrow and grievances. Don’t ever think of them and never bring them up. Starting from today, start a new beginning.
放下傷感***
人會有傷心一刻
雖然是萬箭穿心
但能夠放下傷感
不再去留戀過去
不再去回憶往事
勇敢去打破苦難
會徹底輕鬆起来
重踏快樂的土地
Let go of your sadness***
Everyone has a moment of sadness. Although it hurts deeply, you can let go of your sadness. Don’t ever recall the past bad experience. If you are willing to break through your misery, you can regain your peace of mind and move onto a satisfying plateau again.

恭敬有禮***
要做到恭敬有禮
其實不是件易事
要經過長期修練
首先要行為莊重
對人要尊恭禮讓
說話要謹慎肯定
語氣不可帶怨言
才可得別人恭敬
Be respectful and courteous***
To always be respectful and courteous definitely is not an easy task. It cannot be done overnight. It takes time and requires a lot of effort on your part. First, you have to watch your behavior. Learn to respect others and always be polite to them. Watch how you say things. Your expression has to be supportive and positive, and shouldn’t be negative and critical at all the times. Only then, you can expect other people to respect you.
學以致用***
世上很多的事情
並不是出生而知
是經過學習而知
又或者從經驗中
盡量去增取知識
把個人智慧提高
做人要天天學習
要做到學以致用
Apply what you have learned***
You are not born with the knowledge of everything in this world. You acquire it through studying at school or through personal experience. To enhance your personal knowledge, you must study hard everyday. Whatever you have learned, you must apply them to your daily life.

人生有限期***
錢財只是身外物
無須太看重錢財
要去之時終須去
錢財也都留不住
父母恩重也要離
夫妻義重也分離
人生好像同林鳥
大難來時各自飛
Life has a deadline***
There is no need to pay full attention to your wealth. You cannot take it with you when you leave this world. When it is your time to go, no matter how much money you have, you won’t be able to extend your life. You will be separated from your parents and your partner even though you love them whole heartedly. Life is like birds living in a forecast. They will fly off separately when there is a disaster.
一切聽天命***
要相信生死有命
也要信富貴由天
只要是已盡全力
勞心勞力做到足
成功失敗莫計較
一切只有聽天命
失敗無須太傷心
成功無須太興奮
Accept your destiny***
You have to believe that your destiny controls your life between birth and death. You also have to believe your wealth is equally controlled by your destiny. As long as you put in your best effort, don’t be overly disturbed by your successes and failures, but let your destiny takes its course. When you fail, you don’t have to be too sad and when you succeed, you don’t have to be overly excited.

難得糊塗***
能做到難得糊塗
可算是個樂天派
對人多是無所謂
無論別人做甚麽
就算是對不起你
也不會難過傷心
仍然會掛著笑容
開心自在過日子
Act as if confused***
An optimist sometimes may act as if confused and doesn’t care about other people’s business. Even though other people may be bullying you, don’t get angry. On the contrary, put on a smile anyway, and live happily.
知足常樂***
有人定要吃得好
穿得好和住得好
這種生活當然好
但不代表是幸福
假如有天沒能力
去滿足衣食住行
是否還會是快樂
謹記知足貧也樂
Being satisfied with what you have makes you happy***
It is a good thing that you can afford to live well and eat well. But that doesn’t mean you are happy. If someday you cannot afford your cost of living, will you still be happy? Learn to be satisfied with what you have and you will always be a happy person.

忘記創傷***
受過傷的受害者
如弄到難以入睡
沒法專注去辦公
容易過敏而發怒
愁眉苦臉過日子
這是完全不值得
要盡早忘記創傷
重拾歡笑的面顏
Forget who has hurt you***
When someone hurts you, you feel so depressed that you can’t sleep well, you can’t concentrate on your work, you get angry easily and always put on a sad face. Is this type of behavior good for you? No, it isn’t worth it. Try to forget who has hurt you as soon as possible. The sooner you can forget the affair, the sooner you can regain your smile on your face.
醫療創傷***
醫療創傷唔容易
首先要撫慰自己
重建個人的信心
放下仇恨的執著
把不好的說成好
找尋一點新寄託
重新尋人生意義
肯努力一定成功
To heal a wound***
It is not easy to heal a wound. You need to comfort yourself first, and strengthen your confidence. Let go of your hatred and look at the bright side of things. Find a new interest and set up a new goal for yourself. Focus on your new interest and new goal and you will have a new life. If you are willing to put in your best effort, you will be able to achieve your goal.

同是一句話***
同樣是一句說話
如是刺耳的一句
可傷對方自尊心
但是親愛的一句
使人感覺得善意
試問有誰會反感
那有人不願接受
有誰會不歡迎你
It can be the same few words***
It is only a few words but if the words are sharp, they can hurt people. By contrast, if the words are caring, people will feel comfortable in dealing with you. They will welcome you and accept you as a friend.
慧眼識英雄***
讚美的話不盡信
有些人在你面前
隨時都出言讚美
設法使你感舒暢
但一回轉過身去
也可以去誹謗你
做人要帶眼識人
才不會被人欺詐
Be careful when it comes to judging people***
Don’t trust every word of praise you hear. Some people like to praise you just to please you. Yet behind your back, they may say the opposite. Be careful when it comes to judging people otherwise you may be cheated by them.

隨緣順變***
人人都會有希望
為自己創造遠景
努力奮鬥向上爬
遇到坎坷的時候
提醒自己要拼命
但也要適可而止
不可以力竭身亡
一切要隨緣順變
Go with the flow***
Everybody has hopes. Some are willing to pursue their dreams and work diligently to fulfill them. When faced with setbacks, they will tell themselves that they won’t give up but continue to struggle till the end. But be careful; don’t over stress yourself to the degree that your body can’t cope with it. Learn to go with the flow and let your destiny take its own course.
社會一份子***
曾聽過天下興亡
匹夫也一定有責
作為社會一份子
也應盡自己本份
如保持街道清潔
人人都應有責任
不可以隨地吐痰
更不可亂抛垃圾
Be a contributor in your society***
There is a Chinese saying that every citizen contributes to part of the reason why a dynasty rises or falls. Being a good citizen, you have the responsibility to contribute something to your society e.g. keeping the streets clean. Don’t spit on the streets and don’t throw rubbish on the streets.

寬厚仁慈***
這世界充滿矛盾
沒有永遠的敵人
沒有永遠的朋友
但矛盾可以調和
干戈可化為玉帛
只要有寬厚仁慈
人與人之間誤會
也可以和氣化解
Generous benevolence
This world is full of different kinds of people. You can never know for sure who your enemy is and who your friend is. Whenever there are conflicts between people, you can resolve such conflicts as long as you have exhibit some generous benevolence. Any misunderstandings can then be resolved.
絕對標準***
世上沒絕對標準
各人背境不一樣
各人學識也不同
就會有不同評價
其實是個人偏執
成為了評價標準
如果能放下偏執
處事會比較圓融
No perfect standard
In this world, there isn’t a perfect standard to measure people’s behavior. This is due to the fact that people come from different societies and have different educational backgrounds. When it comes to judging people’s behavior, there is much personal bias involved. If you can let go of your prejudice, you can handle any matter with fairness.

免傷和氣***
好多時說得太多
未必一定是好事
正所謂禍從口出
到時駟馬都難追
一言不慎會惹禍
可以會陷入困窘
所以說話要小心
才可以免傷和氣
Don’t destroy a good relationship
Saying too much may not necessarily be a good thing to do. We are familiar with the Chinese saying that you can’t send four horses to chase your spoken words. Once these words cause harm to you and you will never be able to do anything to repair the damage. A careless word may get you into trouble. Therefore, you need to be careful about what you have to say otherwise, you may destroy a good relationship.
說甚麽才好***
做人不怕傷人虎
只怕人情两面刀
做人要小心說話
好多時惡言一出
會傷害他人自尊
惡言切忌會亂說
善言不妨說多聲
感恩讚美不妨說
What to say
People shouldn’t be afraid of the ferocity of tigers but should be more alert to the sharpness of people’s speech. Be careful of what you have to say, otherwise your words may hurt other people’s dignity. Always remember not to say words that hurt people. Instead say more supportive words and words of appreciation.

等到急時抱佛腳
勸君要積穀防饑
不要臨急抱佛腳
平時要知慳識儉
每個金錢來不易
千金散盡未必來
有錢防身心安樂
Hold the Buddha’s foot
Most the times, people don’t burn incense and pray to the Buddha. They only hold onto the Buddha’s foot when they need something during emergency. It is advisable that people should save for the future. Don’t resort to holding onto the Buddha’s foot during emergency. Since money doesn’t come easily, save as much money as you can. Don’t think you can always make more. It is more prudent to save your money while you can.
不畏懼天命***
不如事時常八九
有時會畏懼天命
但問心無愧做事
就不會再有畏懼
勸君去修養品德
用道德引導自己
用禮儀约束自己
會贏得口服心服
Don’t be afraid of your destiny
Most things in life may not turn out to be as you wish, but you don’t have to be afraid of your destiny. As long as you do everything with a clear conscience, then you have nothing to fear. It is advisable that you devote your time to developing a good character and training yourself to have good behavior and good etiquette. You will then be able to win people’s friendship.

對生活沒有勁力
此時應保持平靜
不須要杞人憂天
努力做準備功夫
等待好機緣來臨
或許生活有改變
而變得更加精彩
More splendid
Sometimes you feel the day is so long. Going through a day feels like going through a full year. All a sudden, you don’t feel like you have any energy to do anything. Under this condition, tell yourself to be calm and not to worry too much. Take advantage of this time to improve yourself in preparation to meet future needs. Then wait for a golden opportunity to arrive, and then you can change your life style. Your lifestyle will then be more splendid.
心懷大志***
晨曦陽光招手時
笑臉定燦爛奪目
當百花齊開之時
鳥語花香精神爽
當春回大地之時
種子就破土而出
當心懷大志之時
做事會鼓足幹勁
Everyone should have a personal goal
When the sun shines on you, you will have a bright smiling face. When the flowers blossom, you will smell the scent of the flowers, hear the songs of the birds and feel more energetic. When the spring returns to the earth, all the seeds will pop up. When you have a goal, you will work hard with full energy.

做該做的事***
該做的事而不做
不該做的事而做
這不是敢作敢為
而是缺乏了勇氣
去做應該做的事
做人一定有原則
無論環境是怎樣
應該做該做的事
Do the things that should be done
Some people don’t do the things that should be done, opting instead to do the things that aren’t required to be done. This doesn’t mean that they can do anything they like. They maybe lack of courage to do the right things that need to be done. People should stick to their own principles and do the things that should be done.
值得自傲***
職業是無分貴賤
只要是勞心勞力
對職業有敬有愛
對同事和藹合作
無須要理會他人
怎樣看你的職位
只要靠自己汗水
應該是值得自傲
Be proud of yourself
Occupation has no status. What is required is that you have to work hard and have passion for your occupation. Respect what you are doing and cooperate with your co-workers. You shouldn’t care how other people look at your profession. As long as you have done your best and you should feel proud of yourself.

無須要理會他人
怎樣看你的職位
只要靠自己汗水
應該是值得自傲
Be proud of yourself
Occupation has no status. What is required is that you have to work hard and have passion for your occupation. Respect what you are doing and cooperate with your co-workers. You shouldn’t care how other people look at your profession. As long as you have done your best and you should feel proud of yourself.

天災人禍
日本地震心難安
天災激勵慈悲心
助人是一種快樂
安慰人是種美德
期望人人盡點力
出錢出力助災民
安慰遇難者家人
節哀順變向前行
重建美好的家園
Japan Earthquake
We all feel sad about the Japan earthquake disaster. Such a disaster has made everyone realize being able to help the victims is a responsibility and being able to comfort them is a kind of moral excellence. We wish everyone can offer a hand either by contributing labor or money to help the victims in Japan. Sending messages to comfort their family members is a good thing to do and be sure to encourage them to accept reality and move on to reconstruct their happy homeland.
珍惜機緣***
百世修來同船渡
千世修來共枕眠
機緣天注要珍惜
莫因小事來生氣
惡言莫說要謹慎
忍一句可息一怒
退一步其實是福
留後路大家好做
Treasure the time of being together
There is a Chinese saying that to be together in the same boat requires a hundred years of prayers from your previous lives. To live together as a husband and wife requires a thousand years of prayers. Don’t be angry because of minor conflicts between two persons. Don’t say angry words that you don’t mean. Be careful in your choices of words. Giving in a little is a smart move. It may leave some rooms to save a happy relationship.

選擇權***
開心的事情很多
不開心的也不少
不管你願不願意
總有人會歡喜你
也有人會討厭你
但你是有選擇權
你可讓自己開心
或讓自己不開心
The choice is yours
In one’s life, there are bound to be happy and unhappy events. Whether you like it or not, there are people who like you and there are people who hate you. But, you have choices. You can choose to be happy or unhappy.
煩惱的來源***
人為甚麽有煩惱
心帶仇恨煩惱多
執著不讓步更煩
感情受傷也是煩
怨天尤人更加煩
慾望愈多愈是煩
能夠學會放得下
心情會輕鬆愉快
Sources of worries
Why do people have worries? It’s because they have hatred. Stubborn people also have worries because they won’t give in and end up being hurt. Some people like to blame others for everything and end up being angry. Some people are greedy and the greedier they become, the more worries they will have. If you learn to relax and let go of your desire, you will be relaxed and happy.

孤獨是痛苦***
孤獨是一種痛苦
也是一種大折磨
如果獨住在孤島
每天有足夠衣食
但不與外界接觸
過一段時間之後
會變得心浮氣躁
日久會成變瘋子
Loneliness can be painful
Loneliness can be painful. Being lonely is one form of suffering. If you live alone in an isolated island, you may have enough food and clothing. Yet, if you have no way to contact the outside world, over a period of time, your feeling of loneliness becomes so unbearable that you may become a lunatic.
孤獨是毒藥***
孤獨是慢性毒藥
導致內心的徬徨
甚至會心理變態
失去快樂和幸福
做人要遠離孤獨
要與人和平共處
保持愛護和關心
與人同樂是最樂
Loneliness can be poisonous
Loneliness is the slow poison which causes you to have the feeling of not knowing what to do. Over a period of time, your behavior may become abnormal ending up not knowing how to look for happiness and fortune. Try to get rid of your loneliness by getting together with friends more often. Be caring and loving to people and your loneliness will soon be gone. Sharing your happiness is the best way to enjoy life.

難得糊塗***
生活中不能太傻
也都不能太聰明
有時要難得糊塗
該講的話也要講
該沉默一句不提
該做的事要去做
該放下也要放下
吃些虧可能是福
Being confused
One shouldn’t act being silly at all times. One shouldn’t claim to be wise at all times either. At times, it may be not be a bad idea to act confused. If there are things that we should say, then say them. Yet, there are times we shouldn’t say anything, then don’t say it. If there are things that must be done, we should do them. If there are things that we should let go of, then we should let them go. Suffering a little can turn out to be fortunate.
看別人做人***
不要看別人做人
妒忌别人的所有
從沒有留意自己
看看自己的擁有
曾否有好好享受
曾否有好好珍惜
還是始終不知道
身在福中不知福
Be your own self
Be your own self and don’t try to be someone else. There is no need to be jealous of what other people may have. Just pay attention to what you have. Make sure you know how to enjoy what you possess. More importantly treasure what you have. You should know that you are fortunate to have what you currently possess.

消除壞習***
剷除花園中野草
一定要連根拔去
才不使它再生長
去除壞習也一樣
一定要徹底消除
不可以再留機緣
再次試一次壞習
後果是不堪設想
Get rid of your bad habits
When you remove the weeds in the garden, you should pull out the roots too. Only then, will the weeds not grow back again. You should do the same when getting rid of your bad habits. Don’t leave behind any opportunity that a bad habit may come back again. Once it is back, it is almost impossible to get rid of it. Not only that, it can get worse.
頭一次亮相***
凡事頭一次亮相
都是個重要關鍵
留下良好的印象
可使人產生好感
以後對你有認識
說不定對你有利
將來須要幫助時
可助你一臂之力
The first time you present yourself
Making a good first impression is very important. Leaving a good impression makes it likely that people are willing to get to know you better. You never know when such a connection may be to your advantage. When you are in need of something, these people may be willing to offer a helping hand.

謀事善變
謀事善變是上策
盲動就會是被打
最後上當被消滅
有時扮豬食老虎
暗中出招方可勝
有時要顯示厲害
讓對方知威懾力
令對方無從反擊
Be flexible
Whatever you do, you need to have a flexible plan. If you blindly barge ahead, you will fail. You may even be destroyed by those who stand in your way. Sometimes it is wise to feign to be as ignorant as a pig but in reality being prepared to fight against a tiger. You can take action to fight against your enemy while his defenses are down, and demonstrate your effectiveness. Let him know you are courageous and capable, he will think twice before assaulting you.
無須太心急
有意裁花花不開
無心插柳柳成陰
世事難預莫強求
隨緣而安最上策
路遥定會知馬力
日久一定見人心
做事無須太心急
腳踏實地已足夠
Don’t be too impatient
Sometimes you put in extra effort to plant something but it never grows, whereas when you have no intention to plant willows, they grow so fast that they form a shade above your head. You will find out the power of a horse after it runs for a while. You will also know what kind of people you are dealing with after you associate with them for a while. Don’t be too impatient when dealing with your work. Just be practical and you will get the job done.

享受家庭樂
人人都也曾聽過
樹欲靜而風不止
子欲養而親不在
莫讓機緣空溜過
莫把工作的壓力
帶返家中來發洩
要好好珍惜家人
盡情享受家庭樂
Enjoy your family
Most of you might have heard of the following sayings. Although the tree wants to stay calm, the wind makes it restless. Although the son wants to take care of his parents, they no longer exist. Don’t let any opportunity slip away. Don’t take your stress home and pass it onto your family members. Treasure your family and spend precious quality time with them. Make sure you enjoy their company and keep a happy family.
脾氣人人有
脾氣人人都會有
如果採取硬踫硬
結果是不歡而散
雖然是不甘情願
去讓對方發脾氣
忍一時無理取鬧
留條後路好商量
可免衝突傷和氣
Everybody sometimes loses temper
Everybody sometimes loses temper. If you fight because of this loss of temper, both of you may end up breaking up the relationship. Although you may not be willing to let the other party show his temper, it may not be a bad idea to endure his temper temporarily. This way, you may still have room to continue your relationship and both of you won’t get hurt emotionally.

珍惜這一天
如果真的有一天
你可以對自己說
我確是一個好人
養妻活兒盡了責
對朋友也有情義
這是多好的一天
今天已是這一天
盡情享樂這一天
Treasure today
There may be a day when you can say to yourself that you are a good person because you have raised a good family. You also have been loyal to your friends. You should be proud of such a day. You know what, such day is today. Treasure today.
心安理得
凡事已經盡全力
一切惟有聽天命
成敗得失當等閒
勝不驕而敗不餒
也不去争功諉過
如能修養到此步
一定會心安理得
日子會輕鬆愉快
Feeling satisfied
Whatever you do, put in your best effort and then let your destiny takes its course. Don’t take wins or losses too seriously. Don’t be arrogant even you win and don’t despair if you lose. If you can control yourself not to show your temper, you will feel satisfied at whatever the result turns out to be. You will definitely live a more relaxed life.

是非終日有
是非其實終日有
自己不聽自然無
就算你是個聖人
也被旁人說是非
日常來說是非者
多數便是是非人
最好是閒事莫管
知事少時煩惱少
Rumors are unavoidable
Rumors arise on a daily basis. If you don’t listen to them, they don’t exist. Even if you are a saint, people may still say bad things about you. People who talk about the rumors could be the ones who spread the rumors. The best thing to do is to mind your own business and don’t involve yourself in other people’s business. Don’t listen to rumors and you will have fewer troubles.
是非何來
誰人背後無人說
遠離是非是上策
是非皆因多開口
煩惱皆因強出頭
說話一定要審慎
最好忍一時之氣
保持沈默是上算
可免有百日之憂
Where do rumors come from?
People like to talk about other people behind their backs. The best thing to do is not to get involved in rumors. Rumors start when someone says something that turns out to be incorrect. You will get into trouble if you try to speak for others. Therefore be careful about what you have to say. Sometimes it is best to be patient and say nothing. Being silent may exempt you from getting into troubles.

是非終日有
是非其實終日有
自己不聽自然無
就算你是個聖人
也被旁人說是非
日常來說是非者
多數便是是非人
最好是閒事莫管
知事少時煩惱少
Rumors are unavoidable
Rumors arise on a daily basis. If you don’t listen to them, they don’t exist. Even if you are a saint, people may still say bad things about you. People who talk about the rumors could be the ones who spread the rumors. The best thing to do is to mind your own business and don’t involve yourself in other people’s business. Don’t listen to rumors and you will have fewer troubles.
是非何來
誰人背後無人說
遠離是非是上策
是非皆因多開口
煩惱皆因強出頭
說話一定要審慎
最好忍一時之氣
保持沈默是上算
可免有百日之憂
Where do rumors come from?
People like to talk about other people behind their backs. The best thing to do is not to get involved in rumors. Rumors start when someone says something that turns out to be incorrect. You will get into trouble if you try to speak for others. Therefore be careful about what you have to say. Sometimes it is best to be patient and say nothing. Being silent may exempt you from getting into troubles.
