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.
