仁***
孔子論語提倡仁
仁的定義是指人
即是愛人愛別人
做人要克制私欲
愛人要克己復禮
要做到己所不欲
一定要勿施於人
便達到人的境界
Benevolence***
Confucius encourages acts of benevolence. His message communicates the concept that to be a good person one has to love others like they love themselves. A good person must control their selfish desire for unnecessary things. They should not impose what they themselves don't like, onto others. If they can do that, they can claim to be a good person.
義***
孔子論語提倡義
義指為甚麼活著
指應該怎樣活著
及如何保持尊嚴
做人不自私自利
願意以助人為樂
能做到捨己為人
確可算有仁有義
Righteousness***
Confucius encourages acts of righteousness. He believes people live because of righteousness and righteousness shows people how to live. He says in order to maintain your dignity, you must not be selfish; rather one must be willing to give a hand to people when help is needed. If you are willing to give of yourself to help others, then you are a person who practices righteousness.

争鋒要明智***
職場争鋒要明智
如對方處於佳狀
此時不應該争鋒
硬拼只能是小勝
不可能會成全勝
此時應避就要躲
能做到機靈避禍
才可保命不該絕
Use your brain to win***
In a work-place, use your brain to fight for what you want. If your opponent is in a good shape, this is not the right time to fight. If you barge ahead, even if you win, it is going to be a victory with no significance. You really can’t win the big battle. Perhaps you should consider avoiding the battle temporarily and try to stay alive.
合群的精神***
個人力量是有限
一定要廣羅人才
而且要知人善用
要做到修己愛人
保持合群的精神
謹記著己所不欲
一定要勿施於人
才可以贏得人心
Have a good spirit to get along well with people***
Any individual’s capability is limited. Therefore you need to hire good people. Make good use of their talents. Most important of all, you have to demonstrate you are not selfish. Develop the spirit to get along well with people. Remember whatever you don’t like, don’t impose it onto others. If you can do that, you will get the support and win the hearts of others.

愛護家人***
世界最珍貴的人
莫乎是自己家人
要好好關懷家人
好好去欣賞家人
互相勉勵互扶持
閒時大家來吹水
歡樂時大家分享
傷心時互相安慰
Cherish your family members***
The most precious people in the world are your family members. You must show them your loving care and appreciate their existence. Always support your family. Whenever you have time, spend it with your family. Share your happiness with them. Comfort them when they need it.
有得必有失***
看見朵美麗花朵
為了自己想擁有
摘下來放在家裡
不把花再去培植
雖然短暫是擁有
遲早都是保不住
花謝之時是失去
有得始終都有失
Today you win; tomorrow you may lose***
When you see a beautiful flower, you want to keep it. You pick the flower and put it in a case at home. You won’t let the flower blossom next year. Although you have the flower temporarily, ultimately the flower will wither. At that point, you will lose the flower.

良心***
甚麼是寂靜無聲
不消不滅永留存
分秒也不會歇息
這就是一顆良心
永遠跟著每個人
控制個人言和行
處世辦事靠良心
有良心會是好人
Conscience***
What thing in life is silent without any complaints, will never vanish, and will not take any rest? The answer is your conscience. It follows you and controls your action and speech. As long as you perform your job, abiding by your conscience, and getting along with people while relying on a fair conscience, you are in fact a good man.
布施***
布施是慈善行動
但布施沒慈悲心
不但會傷人自尊
令對方引來反感
表面雖沒有拒絕
其實是勉強接受
布施要出自真心
才可有圓滿結果
To donate***
To donate is a charitable activity. However, a donation, without a sincere and compassionate intent, may injure the receiver’s self-respect and cause embarrassment. Although the receiver may not refuse the donation, in reality he/she accepts the donation reluctantly. Only donations with a sincere intent will yield a satisfactory and happy result.

解决問題***
想正確解决問題
最忌是抱於成見
一定要視其所以
也定要視其所由
清楚事情的原委
要理解是非黑白
要強調實事求是
才可正確解難題
Solve a problem correctly***
If you want to solve a problem correctly, first get rid of your biases. Analyze your problem by finding out how it happened and what caused it. Understand the whole story and its ins and outs. Determine what is right, what is wrong and what the truth is. Only then, will you be able to solve the problem correctly.
十拿九穩***
應付黨派的鬥争
首先要摸透對方
探清楚對方目標
不應該輕舉妄動
就算裝傻扮弱智
也應該樂意去做
直等到十拿九穩
才可以採取行動
Ninety percent sure***
When confronting an opponent, you must first try to understand what your opposite party is up to. What is their primary goal? Don’t take action and act rashly. Even if it means you have to pretend that you don’t understand and not capable of fighting. Just wait until you have a strategy and are 90 percent sure that you will win. Then, take appropriate action to attack.

孟子荀子***
人之初是惡是善
孟子荀子誰是對
誰是誰非唔重要
重點是止惡行善
對人對己謀幸福
可算對得起孟荀
對社會有點貢獻
也算對得起自己
Mencius and Xunzi***
Mencius’ philosophy is that men are born with a merciful heart but Xunzi’s philosophy is that men are born with a wicked heart. It really doesn’t matter who is right or who is wrong. As long as our goal is to train ourselves to be a good person who won’t do anything injurious to others but only performs good deeds to help others. If we do that, both Mencius and Xunzi should be OK with that. Since we have either turned our wicked nature into a good one or we have kept up our good nature to contribute something good to our society, we should feel good for ourselves too.
委婉勸解***
說好話可助人心
喜歡說好話的人
說時會面露慈悲
對於別人的過錯
多會用委婉勸解
而不會嚴詞譴責
讓對方容易接受
達到遷善的效果
Offer constructive criticisms tactfully***
Saying good things will always help people. When people say good things, it shows in their face. In pointing out other people’s mistakes, they always use tact and never use any harsh words to criticize people. In this way, your opposite party will accept your advice gladly and correct their mistakes.

心生懺悔***
人犯了過錯之時
以為處處不如人
那就是錯上加錯
只須要心生懺悔
無須要自慚形穢
只要肯承擔後果
願意及時去改過
便可以重震鑼鼓
Confession***
Some people think that they are inferior to others once they have made a mistake in their life. If you subscribe to this kind of thinking, it is wrong. As long as you admit your mistake and are willing to own up to it, you don’t have to live a life dominated by regret. Once you assume responsibility for your action and are willing to correct your mistakes, you can start anew.
承擔責任***
察覺自己的錯誤
肯勇敢承擔責任
可算是一位好漢
努力去遷善改過
抛開個人的成見
盡力去彌補過錯
對傷害人作補償
決心不重蹈覆轍
Take full responsibility for your mistakes***
Once you are willing to recognize your mistakes and take responsibility to correct them, you are indeed a good person. Go ahead and repair the damage caused by your mistake. Abandon any individual prejudice and make your best effort to correct the mistake. Compensate to the people whom you have hurt. Make sure you will not commit the same mistakes again.

人際複雜難預料
今日两人是同事
明日會是上下级
朋友也可變敵人
職場生存的政策
隨機應變是智者
善變是為求生存
一成不變快完蛋
Survivors***
Human relationships are complicated. No one can foresee what will happen tomorrow. Today two people are close colleagues but tomorrow one of them can be the boss. Today two people are friends but tomorrow they can be enemies. The best survival policy in a workplace is to be flexible and follow the flow. If you can’t do that, you will soon be out of the picture. If you want to be one of the survivors, be flexible and follow the flow.
成功捷徑***
正所謂山外有山
又所謂人外有人
如果愛充大頭鬼
其實是不智行為
有機貼近成功人
應該謙虛去學習
向能人學好本事
其實是成功捷徑
Successful shortcut***
There is a common saying that you are not the “Only One.” There is always another mountain and there is always another person. If you pretend to be a big boss, it isn’t a smart move. What you really should do is to get close to a successful person and be humble enough to learn something from him. Apply what you have learned. This behavior can be a shortcut to reach the finishing line of your successful career.

修養品德***
如想創一番事業
首先要修養品德
思想觀念要正確
倫理道德要遵守
學術教育要提昇
異端邪說不可信
外界威武不可屈
信心信念不可無
Train yourself to have good personal traits***
If you want to build a successful career, first train yourself to have good personal character. Your thinking and your action must be legal. Always improve your knowledge and don’t believe in anything that is illegal. Don’t give in to unreasonable external pressure. Have confidence in yourself and you will make it.
安分守己***
安分守己是最好
昇職發財當然好
凡事要量力而為
才能超越雖是好
也要靠時也運也
謹記得失是等閒
只要是已盡全力
可算對得起自己
Understand your own limitations and act accordingly***
Try to know your own limitations and act accordingly. It is a good thing if you can get a promotion and make more money. But you have to know your own limit and capability. Having talent is good too, but you have to be patient and wait for the right time and right opportunity before you can demonstrate your potential. Remind yourself that success or failure is not important. What is more important is how you struggle throughout this process. As long as you have put in your best effort, enjoy the process instead of the end result.

If you want to build a successful career, first train yourself to have good personal character. Your thinking and your action must be legal. Always improve your knowledge and don’t believe in anything that is illegal. Don’t give in to unreasonable external pressure. Have confidence in yourself and you will make it.
安分守己***
安分守己是最好
昇職發財當然好
凡事要量力而為
才能超越雖是好
也要靠時也運也
謹記得失是等閒
只要是已盡全力
可算對得起自己
Understand your own limitations and act accordingly***
Try to know your own limitations and act accordingly. It is a good thing if you can get a promotion and make more money. But you have to know your own limit and capability. Having talent is good too, but you have to be patient and wait for the right time and right opportunity before you can demonstrate your potential. Remind yourself that success or failure is not important. What is more important is how you struggle throughout this process. As long as you have put in your best effort, enjoy the process instead of the end result.

禮義不可無***

要銘記先人後己
不應該誇功争利
一切要以義為上
強調要依禮而行

Manner and justice***
People should have good manners and believe in justice. They should not compromise justice for the sake of “profits.” They should put others before themselves. They shouldn’t arrogate all the value and profits for themselves and not share with anyone else. Always put justice first and emphasize on taking the righteous route. Only then, they can claim to be a gentleman.

Being well-mannered***
People should always be well-mannered. They must maintain morals and appropriate behavior. Be respectful to people above and below you. Treat people fairly and honestly. Be as good as your word says. Don’t lie but look for the truth. Don’t frequent the company of bad people but enjoy a safe and prosperous life with your family.

一事無成***
見高就打恭作揖
向上就絕對順從
上有命不敢怠慢
這類的工作作風
這種言行和舉止
很難會使人尊重
反而成眾人之矢
到頭來一事無成
Accomplish nothing***
Always defer to your seniors. Always comply with wishes of your seniors. Never neglect any orders from your seniors. If you are negligent, this type of work ethics and this type of action and speech won’t win any respect from anyone. On the contrary you may become the target of people around you. Instead of having a good career, you will end up accomplishing nothing.
以身作則***
以身作則是最好
能夠仁智勇兼備
均可以担當重任
正所謂仁者不憂
智者當然不會惑
勇者不應該會懼
人格高上誰不服
有才有幹怕甚麽
Set a good example***
If you want to set a good example for others to follow, you must demonstrate that you have benevolence, wisdom and bravery. If you have benevolence, you will have no worries. If you are wise, you will not be puzzled and can handle anything. If you are brave, you will not be afraid to carry out your duty. With these virtues, you have no fears that no one will accept you as a leader.

誰來主宰***
天未必主宰一切
許多事由人决定
因此要提高智慧
平時多閱讀書本
提高自己的技能
提高辦事的效果
除此以外還需要
提高自己的品德
Who controls everything?
It isn’t fate that controls everything. It is you, as a person, that controls your own destiny. Therefore, you must learn to enlarge on your wisdom. You can study books to improve your skills and the effectiveness of your performance. In addition, you must work on developing a good personality.
大家都得益***
人的能力是有限
工作上要靠同事
不應有驕傲態度
最好能親如兄弟
不應該擁有成見
大家能分工合作
辦事時互相支持
結果大家都得益
Everybody benefits
Everybody has limits. Therefore, you must work together with your colleagues as a team. There is no need to be arrogant; rather you should work as if you are brothers. Let go of your prejudices and you will be able to work cooperatively. Offer a hand when needed. This way, everyone benefits from this kind of working relationship.

應付痛苦***
怎樣去應付痛苦
心理反應很重要
只要不怨天尤人
做到心裡無怨恨
痛只不過只是痛
並不一定會是苦
苦與不苦之差別
全賴個人的心態
How to deal with your pain***
What is the best way to deal with your pain? The psychological response is a very important factor. If you stop blaming others for adversity and get rid of any hatred inside you, you will feel less pain. Even if you feel the pain, it is only painful but it is not a bitter feeling. How painful and how bitter you feel depends on your attitude.
不折磨自己***
往事只可以回味
不用來折磨自己
痛楚往事要忘記
開心往事要常記
心情低落的時候
回憶快樂的日子
或可以改變心情
重拾開朗的心態
Don't torture yourself***
Let the past be in the past and don’t use it to torture yourself. You must let go of the painful experience but you can choose to remember your past happy events. Remember the next time when you encounter adversity, try to recall the happy events and you may be able to change your attitude and see the bright side of things.

提昇智慧***
社會的高度科技
不追上時代進步
很難在社會立足
但不用太過擔心
只要天天肯學習
努力去提昇智慧
就算嚴重的障礙
也可以迎刃而解
Develop your wisdom***
Technology is progressing so fast and if you don’t try to keep up with it, you will have difficulties in surviving in today’s society. Yet you don’t have to be overly worried. As long as you are willing to devote time to learn something new everyday, you will improve your knowledge and have the wisdom to cope with all necessary daily activities. No matter how difficult the task is, you will be able to handle it.
不可不學習***
長江後浪推前浪
社會新人趕舊人
日新月異的世界
做人不可不學習
停留現狀無進步
遲早被社會淘汰
雖然辛苦也要學
而且定要學到老
Learning is a lifetime occupation***
One wave pushes another wave. It’s similar to new people replacing old people. In today’s changing environment, people really have no choice but to learn. You can’t afford not to learn; otherwise you are not making progress and will eventually be marginalized by your society. Although it may be hard to learn new things, it is essential that one has to learn from youth till old age.

不變應萬變***
雖然社會日日變
理應要趕追潮流
但有時也要小心
用不變去應萬變
詳細看清楚時勢
分析事情的走勢
做好準備的功夫
可安然應付一切
Stay put to cope with a changing situation***
The society is changing everyday and you must go with the flow. Always be alert to things around you. Sometimes you may have to stay put to cope with the changing environment. Study the environment clearly and analyze everything in detail. If you are better prepared, you will be able to handle the situation with greater ease.
是時候放下***
如果有個好計劃
半途中發生問題
不必太過份擔憂
繼續努力去改善
如果已盡了全力
也沒法解決問題
求援也沒有幫助
或者是時候放下
It’s time to let go***
If you have a good plan, but halfway through you encounter a stumbling block, you don’t have to be overly worried. Continue to work hard and find ways to turn the situation around. As long as you have put in your best effort and you have sought outside assistance. However, if you still can’t improve the situation, perhaps it’s time to let go of the plan.

天天有否做運動
便可知愛有幾深
How much do you love yourself
Do you really love yourself? Most people will definitely say yes. However, ask yourself whether you are a smoker or you go to bed late and get drunk frequently. If you do, it means you may, in fact, not love yourself. Do you eat healthy food and exercise daily? If you know your answers, you will know how much you love yourself.

Keep young at all times
If you want to keep young at all times, you must give up smoking and heavy drinking. Exercise daily and eat healthy food. Get up early and take rest appropriately. Skin care is equally important. Always keep young at heart. If you can do that, you can keep young at all times.

憤世疾俗***
有些人憤世疾俗
事事都極不滿
與人樣樣都計較
覺得世界欠了他
苦口苦面過日子
這樣有甚麼意義
何不試改變心態
安安樂樂過日子
Discontent with life***
Some people are not satisfied with their own lives. Whatever they look at it, all they see are their flaws. Whomever they deal with, they always argue with them as if the world owes them everything. They always wear a face of sadness and discontent. What’s the purpose of living like this? Why don’t they change their attitude and try to live a happy life?
笑看人生***
試學習笑看人生
身處逆境莫生氣
反而要格外忍耐
凡事更加要謹慎
不讓消極潛入心
才不會心存絕望
失去辦事的信心
再沒有翻身機會
Look at life with a smile***
Try to look at life with a smile. When faced with unanticipated change, don’t react with anger. On the contrary, be more patient and extra careful in handling everything. Don’t be negative and fall into despair. Don’t lose confidence in whatever you are doing; otherwise you will not have another chance to turn bad things around.
