無須追名利 ***


無須過份為名利
弄到精神太緊張
人生重要的基本
就是快樂和健康
名利始終身外物
不會永遠在身旁
無須搏命追名利
最多只是幾十載

No need to pursue fame and fortune excessively ***

There is no need to pursue fame and fortune excessively, otherwise you will feel totally exhausted. What is more important is your health and happiness. After all, fame and fortune are not part of your body and they will not be attached to you forever. There is definitely no need to pursue them excessively. The most you can owe them is about several dozens of years in your lifetime.

知識有限度 ***

一山還有一山高
做人要禮義謙虛
不應該目中無人
一點禮貌都全無
人的知識有限度
處事難免會糊塗
不留餘地的態度
到頭來自討沒趣

Everyone’s knowledge has a limit ***

Remember there is always a higher mountain. You need to be polite and modest. You shouldn’t look down on everyone. Also you shouldn’t be impolite to people. Everybody’s knowledge has a limit. Unavoidably there may be times when matters are muddled. Whatever you do, you should always leave some room for negotiation otherwise, and you end up looking foolish.
