三月二日 March 2, 2011

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.
