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.

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.

偽君子***
有人只知道有己
從來都不知有人
雖然有端正面目
身穿著整齊衣冠
看來像是位君子
好勝争名認英雄
其實是自私自利
始終是位偽君子
Hypocrite***
Some people only care for themselves and nobody else. Although these people may dress up nicely and put on a kind face, in reality, they are selfish. They always want to outdo others. Be careful, they are hypocrites and can do things to harm you.
你與你***
人與人任何關係
有時會比較親密
有時會比較疏遠
不管是多麼親密
也會像鐘擺一樣
一邊搖到另一邊
只有你與你自己
才可以永恆親密
You and you alone***
People sometimes can be very close and yet at other times, they can be distant. No matter how close you are, it is like a pendulum. It always swings from one side to the other side. Only you and you alone can stay so close that you are always on your own side.

生氣***
人生是變幻無常
何必一定要生氣
生氣是無濟於事
對人對事都没用
生氣只是個逃避
令人覺無自制力
是跟自己過不去
生氣不如去爭氣
Anger***
Life is forever changing. Why must you be angry? Being angry does not solve any problems. Anger does not make people feel good. Being angry is only an escape. Anger means you are weak in self control. In fact, anger may even hurt you. So, instead of being angry, make your best effort to forget the whole instance and move on to do something more meaningful.
人生苦短***
人生苦短要盡歡
小小爭執是閑事
何必激氣傷身心
輸贏本是平常事
何必鬥氣爭口氣
出口駡人去傷人
就算你贏又會點
死後勝負無人記
Life is short***
Life is too short not to enjoy it. Don’t let small disputes among people annoy you. Don’t let small stuff upset you and destroy your health. Victory or defeat is an everyday event. Don’t get angry and start cursing people. Even if you win this time, no one will remember who wins or who loses after you are gone.

無法知何時開始

一切是不可預料

只要你立定目標
向準目標努力行
你可以控制結果
You can control results ***
Things come and go. You never know how and when it started. Although everything is unpredictable, you can control the result. As long as you have a personal goal and work diligently towards achieving your goal, you definitely can control the outcome.
死抓不放***
莫因為貪名逐利
而破壞錦繡前程
莫太執著於得失
適時放棄是智慧
死抓住不肯放下
始終會帶来痛苦
會把生活加壓力
得來只是一個累
The side effects of not letting go of the past***
If you are covetous of wealth and fame, it may destroy your bright future. If you take winning or losing too seriously, you will forfeit your wisdom. If you don’t let go of the past, you will end up with nothing but pain. Don’t add stress to yourself. If you do so, you will end up being tired of life.

世間上沒有甚麼
你是可以帶得走
既然如此要放下
放下你的仇與恨
把一切煩惱放下
如能做到這一點
心情一定會開朗
日子會輕鬆自在
Relax ***
There is nothing that you can take with you when you leave this world. Since you can’t take anything with you, you should let it go. Let go of your hatred and your troubles. If you can do it, you should feel relaxed and you can enjoy every day of your life.
放下包伏***
如果不肯去整理
身肩重負的包伏
它會愈來愈加重
行動自然不舒暢
如果天天背上它
日子只會更沉重
如甘願放下包伏
一定會活得自在
Put down your bag***
If you are not willing to reorganize the contents of your bag, you will feel the heavy weight of the bag. When you put it on your shoulder, it is so heavy that it affects your movement. If you carry the bag daily, it is a big burden. But if you are willing to throw away some of the things in your bag, you will feel more comfortable.

一家之主***
一家之主四個字
是不易做的角色
除了勞碌揾两餐
要運動保養健康
還要體貼好賢妻
叮嚀孩子的功課
忙中抽閒一起玩
是苦是甜自己知
Master of the House***
It is not easy to be the Master of the House. Aside from working hard to make a living, you have to take care of your health and your family. You need to be patient and loving to your spouse. You need to spend time coaching your children in their school work. You also need to find time to play with your children. Only you, yourself, know whether this is a life of bitterness or sweetness.
享樂好時光***
舟車勞頓已一週
假日最幸福的事
找個浪漫的餐室
好好與伴侶同枱
温馨燭光互相影
來個紅酒牛排餐
暫忘今週的煩惱
盡情享樂好時光
Enjoy happy times***
Since you have worked hard for a whole week, it’s time to enjoy the weekend. Find a romantic restaurant to have a nice meal with your partner. With candle light, steak and red wine, forget last week’s troubles and enjoy your happy times with your partner.

隨緣奉獻***
做人不可太固執
應該要隨緣奉獻
如果山不轉路轉
如果路不轉人轉
如果人不轉心轉
如能夠隨緣而安
無路也可變有路
船到橋頭自然直
Be flexible ***
Don’t be too stubborn. Sometimes, it is better to go along with the flow. If a mountain cannot turn itself, we can make the road turn. If the road cannot turn, people can turn. If people cannot turn, your heart can make the turn. If you are flexible, you can make anything happen. You can turn an area without a road into an area with a road. Being flexible, everything will work out well.
遺憾***
人生總會有遺憾
欲想努力去剪断
無奈愈剪愈還亂
好像天上朵烏雲
遮住頭上的天空
總是活不出晴天
此時最好是隨緣
接受上天的安排
Regrets ***
Everyone has regrets and wants to get rid of them. However, it seems like the harder you try, the more difficult it is. It is like a black cloud over your head. No matter whatever you do, you can’t remove the cloud and let the sun come out. Under these circumstances, the best way to deal with it is to accept reality.

衝勁***
新人在老闆眼中
最寶貴特質之一
就是一定有衝勁
雖專業知識不夠
實務經驗也有限
只要肯拼肯用心
有衝勁可造之才
其他都可以鍛鍊
Impulse***
As a new member of the staff, the most precious thing you can demonstrate in front of your boss is your strong impulse. Although you may not have the required professional knowledge and your practical experience is limited, you should show that you are a focused person and have a strong desire to work well. Your boss will then think you have good potential and will be willing to provide you with training.
懷才***
懷才不遇不算奇
懷才要懂得表現
才可以被人發現
才可以被人賞識
表現才華像懷孕
時間久了便顯出
到時貴人看得出
那愁沒有人賞識
Cherish your talent***
It is common that one's talent is not being recognized immediately. Sometimes even if you have talents, you need to find opportunities to demonstrate your potential. Only then will your talent be discovered and recognized. Having talents is like being pregnant. Over a period of time the pregnancy will show and people will discover it. You don't have to worry that no one recognizes it.
