渡過逆境***
生活在今日世界
遇上逆境不算奇
此時細心想一想
背後支持的親朋
就不應該怕艱苦
定要奮鬥撐下去
以微笑應付一切
可順利渡過逆境
How to handle adversity? ***
Living in today’s environment, it is not uncommon that you may be faced with adversity. At this moment, your best bet is to think of the people who support you and back you up. Because of this, you shouldn’t be afraid to face adversity. You must struggle till the end with a smile. If you have the right attitude, you will overcome adversity with no major negative consequence.
忘了最好***
人生不如意的事
可以算十之八九
做人何必要執著
只專注時常八九
而忘了十之一二
試回憶甜美日子
忘記不如意的事
這樣做人會快樂
It’s better to forget ***
Life is full of unpleasant events. There is a Chinese saying 8 or 9 events out of 10 are unpleasant events. Why are you so stubborn that you focus on the unpleasant events and pay no attention to the other pleasant ones? It is better to forget the unpleasant events and only remember the pleasant ones. If you do that, you will be a happier person.

一位君子***
如果是其身不正
怎可贏得人尊敬
做人要言而有信
而且要言之必行
對人能盡忠守信
能做到克己復禮
過的是正常生活
可算是一位君子
A gentleman ***
If you don’t behave like a gentleman, how can you expect to win the respect of others? You must keep your word and you must do what you preach. You must be loyal to people, exercise self-restraint, abide by your own rituals and live a normal life. Only then, will you be respected as a gentleman.
正義為基本***
言行舉止要小心
行為一定要正派
所言定要合乎禮
不可以言過其實
凡事要三思而行
不可以作奸犯科
不與人同流合汚
要以正義為基本
Measured by justice ***
To be a good person, you must be careful about what you say and what you do. Whatever you say has to be the truth. You shouldn’t tell lies. Whatever you do, you must think it over thoroughly before you take any action. Don’t do anything violating the law and don’t keep company with the wrong group of people or commit any crimes. You must use justice as the measurement for your action.

人與天無關***
人有迷信的一刻
相信一切是註定
其實人與天無關
如果肯勤奮好學
思想一定會精華
天也無法去改變
但如果荒廢學業
天怎可導你聰明
What you do has nothing to do with heaven ***
People at times may be superstitious and believe that destiny is predetermined. In reality, what you will become is not predetermined. If you are willing to study hard, you will enhance your knowledge. Even Almighty God can’t change that. But if you waste your time and don’t study hard, your Almighty God can’t make you into an intelligent and competent person.
一切是人為***
不可盡信天信命
天與人是無關連
如果肯努力做工
再加上節約開支
天不能使你捱餓
但如果奢侈浪費
天無法使你富裕
一切一切是人為
Everything comes from you ***
Don’t be superstitious and believe everything about your destiny has already written. Whatever you have achieved, has nothing to do with your destiny. If you work hard to make a living and are prudent with your finances, heaven can’t make you hungry. But if you are not careful with your money and waste it on unnecessary and frivolous items, heaven can’t make you a wealthy man. Everything comes from you.

誰是敵人***
假如你心存積怨
對工作心存討厭
對同事滿懷妒忌
對世界充滿不滿
當人人都是敵人
無原無故發脾氣
難怪人人都認同
你才是你的敵人
Who is your biggest enemy? ***
Determine if you have accumulated a lot of grievances inside yourself. You hate your job and you envy your colleagues. You are discontented with everything around you and you think everyone is your enemy. You lose your temper without any reason. No wonder everyone thinks you are your own enemy.
感恩接受***
不能改變環境時
那就要改變心態
日子可能是艱苦
但能知足無怨言
日子會過得輕鬆
只要肯感恩接受
上天恩賜的一切
內心會安然愉快
Accept reality gracefully ***
When faced with a situation that cannot be changed, what you can do is to change your point of view. Try to be content with what you’ve got and don’t complain about what you haven’t got. In this way, you will find your days are more relaxing. As long as you are willing to accept gracefully what heaven has given you, you will feel peaceful at heart and your life will be a pleasant one.

忍***
勾踐忍會稽之恥
自願去臥薪嘗膽
結果能興越滅吳
做人一定要謹記
小不忍則亂大謀
凡事樣樣都要忍
能夠忍一時之氣
可免闖禍壞大事
Patience ***
King Yuet, because of his willingness to endure being humiliated by King Ng and was willing to taste the bitterness of a gall bladder to remind him of that humiliation that he ultimately defeated King Ng. People should remember if they don’t have patience, they may ruin a good opportunity. Be patient with everything you do, you then avoid getting into troubles.
忍辱負重***
一提起忍辱負重
會想起臥薪嘗膽
越王的忍辱典故
是最有代表性的
忍耐是一種美德
莫因一時的火氣
弄到環境無灣轉
結果是互傷和氣
Enduring humiliation ***
As soon as you mention about enduring humiliation, most Chinese people remember the historical story about King Yuet who sleeps on branches and tastes a gall bladder to remind him he has to endure humiliation. At the appropriate time, enduring humiliation is a test of moral fiber. Don’t let your temporarily anger destroy your relationship with people to the degree of no return. Anger can cause both being emotionally hurt.

有些人濟世為懷
誠心去供養殘疾
善心去扶老携幼
熱心去供奉老人
專心去日行一善
能做到積德行善

確是一位大英雄
A big hero **
Some people are born with a kind heart. They like to help the disabled, the elderly and young children. They believe in doing one good deed everyday. People will admire you if you can do that. Certainly they will consider you as a big hero.
止惡向善***
無論是人本性惡
或者是人本性善
雖然是自相矛盾
同樣可引導向善
只要肯修養品行
能遵守禮義之道
克服外界的引誘
定可以止惡向善
Avoid doing harmful deeds and perform good deeds ***
Regardless of whether you think you were born with a kind heart or a malign disposition, both of these contradictory natures can be directed to do good. As long as you are willing to develop your good character and abide the rituals and morals that are constructive, and not be influenced by the external temptations, you can overcome your impulse to do harm, and perform good deeds.

柔弱***
柔弱並不是無用
也不定等於懦弱
有時不可硬踫硬
處事要以柔制剛
柔弱可長存不壞
剛強容易會衰亡
柔弱可保護自己
最终會反敗為勝
Appearing being weak ***
Appearing being weak does not mean you are weak. Definitely it doesn't mean you can't be strong. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to barge ahead and fight without any going through a careful consideration. Appearing to be weak may help you struggle through the difficult times. Being strong on your point of view may make you fail. Appearing weak may ultimately help you win the battle.
以弱勝強***
人應避免走極端
一切要適可而止
無須要先發制人
也可以以弱勝強
能冷静分析情况
找出對方的破綻
便可以出奇制勝
可達到以弱勝強
Defeat a superior enemy ***
Everyone should know when to stop instead of continuously barging forward. In order to get control of a situation, you don’t need to make the first move to attack people. What you should do is to analyze the situation with a clear mind. Find out the weakness of your opponent and then you can attack your opponent by surprise. Doing so will help you defeat your superior enemy.

說一聲***
當你受委屈之時
切勿沮喪要積極
先對自己說一聲
不與人斤斤計較
再來對自己說聲
得饒人處且饒人
自豪對鏡說一聲
提得起時放得下
Tell yourself no need to be calculating ***
When you are being wrongly accused for something you didn’t do, don’t be depressed but be positive in dealing with it. Quietly tell yourself that you don’t need to be calculating with people but be a little forgiving. Proudly face the mirror and say, ”I can lift something heavy and I can lay it down.”
真相 ***
因為不了解真相
往往就看錯想錯
結果就一定做錯
錯的結果是痛苦
凡事都要看清楚
用智慧分析事情
認清楚事情真相
才可以去下決定
The truth ***
Because you don’t know the truth, you end up misreading things. You may even make mistakes. Of course, your mistakes may cause pain. Therefore you must look at all matters in detail and use your wisdom to help you analyze the situation. Make sure you really know the truth before you make any decision.

追求幸福***
有人為追求幸福
年月日勞心勞力
希望得富貴功名
有人望養兒防老
其實未必是幸福
幸福是來自內心
珍惜身邊人和事
知足常樂會幸福
Pursue happiness ***
Some people’s goal of pursuing happiness is to work hard day by day to strive for wealth and fame, or look forward to their old age and expect their children to look after them. As matter of fact, happiness cannot be pursued but should come from within. If you treasure what you have and the people around you, and can be content with your current living, you will be a happy person.
酸甜苦辣***
個人的酸甜苦辣
試問有誰人可知
苦難是自己經歷
別人沒法可理解
有苦只有自己知
既然如此有誰憐
解難只有是一人
一切是靠你自己
Good and bad in life***
No one knows how your life consists of, and what you’ve gone through in your life. Only you alone can feel whether your life is truly bitter or sweet. Who can sympathize with you if they don’t know how you feel? Under this situation, if you want to get rid of your bitterness in life, you can only rely on your own self.

妒忌***
妒忌是一位殺手
它可以盲目殺掉
你每一根的快樂
使你變得不自在
內心漸變成偏激
不滿別人的幸福
不滿別人的成功
繼而失去安全感
Envy ***
Being envious of others can be a murderer. It may blindly massacre your happiness. It will make you feel uncomfortable and slowly make you become an angry person. You won’t like to see people being lucky and successful. Subsequently you lose your own sense of security.
心寧安靜***
心寧安靜是喜樂
嫉妒心態是厭世
當別人有成就時
你可以選擇祝福
或可以選擇妒忌
你可以分享喜悅
或可以偏激內憤
選擇權是屬於你
Maintain a peaceful heart ***
It is a pleasure to be able to maintain a peaceful heart whereas having an envious heart makes you become pessimistic. When people succeed, you can choose to become envious or offer your blessing. You can share the joy or become indignant. The choice is yours.

相處的原則***
祝賀天下有情人
明瞭相處的原則
理念一定要相同
否則會同床異夢
不可能生死與共
不可以夫唱婦隨
更賀大家能體諒
天天和藹過一生
The principle of being together ***
We wish every couple understands the main principle of being happily together is to have a common goal otherwise they can only be roommates living in the same bedroom. Without a common goal, they cannot share both sadness and happiness for a lifetime. We also wish every couple can be more understanding and live lovingly and peacefully together for the rest of their lives.
有心唔怕遲***
保持两人的甜蜜
天天要說謝謝你
犯錯要說對不起
多讚一句你好棒
還說我以你為榮
不忘說聲我愛你
你有沒有這樣做
謹記有心唔怕遲
It's never too late***
If a couple wants to maintain a good relationship, they should say thank you to each other more often. It is good to say you are sorry for any mistakes. Offer praise or say “I am proud of you” more often. Don't forget to say “I love you.” Have you done this? If not, it is never too late to do so.

心情不好***
自己心情不太好
也不應該發脾氣
這樣無理的行為
不但不得人同情
反而會令人討厭
最好的處理方法
就是去改變心態
保持樂觀來待人
You are not in a good mood ***
Even if you are not in a good mood, you shouldn’t lose your temper. Such a behavior will not win any sympathy from anyone. On the contrary, you will make people dislike you. The best way to handle this situation is to change your attitude and be positive when dealing with people.
煩惱拋腦後***
如心情起伏不定
甚至會亂發脾氣
此時最好的行動
找個安靜的地方
想清想楚甚麼事
把自己弄成如此
再用智慧來解决
把煩惱拋於腦後
Throw away your worries ***
When your mood fluctuates to the degree that you loose your temper, it’s time you should find a quiet place and think carefully what has caused you to be in such a state. Use you wisdom to find out the answers and then discard all of your worries.

掌握命運***
在事情未發生時
不知道是凶是吉
不要向命運屈服
努力與命運抗争
盡自己最大努力
達成自己的目標
這並不算是信命
可算是掌握命運
Control your own destiny ***
Before an event happens, no one knows whether it is going to be an ominous event or a lucky one. Don’t give in to what you think your predetermined destiny is. On the contrary, fight for what you want. Put in your best effort to do it. Don’t believe your destiny is predetermined but control your own destiny.
由自己决定***
有人會留下光輝
卻有人留下惡名
有人活得很認真
卻有人活得隨緣
有人會埋怨人生
卻有人享樂人生
你會留下些甚麼
是由你自己决定
You make your own decision ***
Some people will leave behind the glory of their lives while others leave behind an unenviable reputation. Some people are very particular how they live while others can go along with the flow and not be choosy about how they live. Some people always complain about life while others lead a life of comfort. How you live your life depends on your own decision.

遺憾與慶幸***
人生最好沒遺憾
反而要找尋慶幸
工作如果不理想
可算得是個遺憾
但有两餐飽飯吃
也可算得是慶幸
凡事細心想一想
總會找到個慶幸
Regrets and rejoice ***
It’s best not to have regrets but to rejoice. If your work is not ideal, you may consider it regrettable. Yet it is a time to rejoice if you can afford two meals. If you look carefully about everything, you will find something about which to rejoice.
智慧與道德***
智慧就算有缺陷
但如能勤奮工作
日積月累的經驗
可彌補智慧缺陷
反而道德有缺陷
就算是天下英才
都是無法子彌補
個人道德的缺陷
Wisdom and morals ***
Your wisdom may be imperfect. But if you are willing to work diligently, over a period of time and with the experience gained, you will be able to improve your wisdom. By contrast, if you have a flaw in how you abide by proper morals, even if you are a very wise person, you can’t make up for what you might have lost if you don’t behave morally.

莊子***
莊子終身不做官
專注於自得其樂
不受國君的束縛
過著隱居的生活
只求心靈的不羈
享受精神的自由
本著無所謂態度
逍遙自在過日子
Zhuang-zi ***
Zhuang-zi, in his lifetime, does not want to serve as an official. He prefers to have a life of freedom without the responsibility of being a slave to an emperor. He enjoys the freedom of relaxation and has a good spirit to be open-minded. He doesn’t seem to care what happens in the world but lives a life of unrestrained freedom.
一切靠自己***
每一個人的人生
不是別人可評判
一切都是靠自己
自己定人生目標
自己努力去達成
一切由自己肯定
肯定自我的價值
才可活得有意義
Everything depends on you ***
No one has the right to evaluate your life. How you choose to live your life is your own business. You choose your own personal goal and work hard to achieve it. It is all your own effort. You are the only one who can evaluate your own life. Only you can make your life meaningful to you.

準備最壞的打算
不須要怕會失敗
You don’t have to be afraid ***
Life is like walking. You must continue to walk until you reach your destination. Don’t be confused by the road ahead of you. As long as you have confidence and hope, you don’t have to be afraid that there are no hills and rivers in the road ahead of you. As long as you have the will to finish your journey, you don’t have to be afraid of any dangers and difficulties. Always plan for the worst and you don’t have to worry that you may fail.

直到成功才為止
有此毅力定成功
Difficult job ***
Even if it is a difficult job, you still have to do it. The more difficult the job is, the more effort you put in. Just think of the day when it is completed: by then, you will have a happy face. Such thinking will not cause you any problems but encourage you to struggle through the end until you successfully complete the job. Remember this: when you have the will to do it, you will succeed.
