小心偽君子 ***

做人一定要小心
莫被偽君子欺騙
不要怕狐假虎威
不要膽怯要勇敢
只要對得住良心
無須怕被人欺騙
盡量去做好本份
總有成功的日子

Beware of hypocrites ***

Beware of hypocrites and don’t be fooled by them. Don’t be afraid of the hypocrites but be brave in dealing with them. As long as you live your life morally and ethically, there is no need to be afraid of being cheated. Just put in your best effort in your work and you will achieve good results.

人要有氣量 ***

做人雖然有氣量
小心莫被人連累

Although you may have forbearance, be careful not to be cheated and get yourself into troubles. What you see may not necessarily be the truth or you may not see all of the relevant facts. Therefore don’t make any compromised decisions. Once you make a wrong decision, sometimes there is no turning back. Then, you will end up with nothing but regrets.

December 27, 2012

無敵的精神 ***

辦事要盡足本分
首先要充滿信心
對事業興趣盡現
全心全力做到足
潛力要發揮到盡
努力勤奮去到盡
如此無敵的精神
定可成功不會敗

The invincible spirit ***

When you carry out your duty, you must put in your best efforts with full confidence, demonstrate your interest in your job and how you love it, pay full attention to what you are doing, demonstrate all of your potential, and work diligently to complete your job. With such an invincible spirit, you will be guaranteed success and will not fail.

競爭 ***

知己知彼還知天
首先要知道自己
又知對方的力量
但如不知天的話
只孤立片面行事
極可能一敗塗地
知道天時與地理
無畏無懼易成功

Competition ***

When you compete with others, in addition to knowing your own self, and who your enemy is, you also need to understand your surrounding environment. You need to know your capability and that of your opponent. But if you do not understand fully your environment, and barge ahead on your own to complete a job, you may fail. Only if you know yourself, your opponent and the state of your environment, will you be able to compete fearlessly and easily win the competition.

December 26, 2012

氣量 ***

保持著小家子氣
會覺得空間太小
會覺生活壓力大
反而存寬容胸懷
能夠忍一時之氣
懂得去尊重他人
會減少很多磨擦
生存空間也寬闊

Limited tolerance for forgiving others

When people have no tolerance for others, they will feel that they have no space, and life to them is full of stress. By contrast, when people are willing to give in a little, can endure unpleasant events, and know how to respect others, they will have little conflict with people, and will feel that there is breathing room for their lives.

慈悲為懷 ***

人要以慈悲為懷
在家要以和為貴
出外也不應例外
對朋友要有忠誠
對長老定要孝敬
凡事要看通看透
拿得起時放得下
生活會輕鬆自在

Have mercy on people ***

People should be compassionate. They should try their best to keep peace at home. They should do the same outside their homes. They should be faithful to their friends and be respectful to the elderly. They should view life’s events with an open-mind. If they manage to pick up any event easily and put it down easily, they will be able to live a comfortable and relaxing life.

聖誕節 ***

聖誕節日倍思親
親情始終最可貴
天涯海角各一方
大家可以用電話
又或者利用電郵
一句祝福和問候
珍惜天賜的親情
大家互賀聖誕節

Merry Christmas ***

It is natural to think of our family members during Christmas season. Family is the most valuable thing on earth. Although we may be apart, and live in two different parts of the world, we can always use either the phone or email to send our blessings. Let’s treasure our family affection and wish each other “a Merry Christmas.”

慈善心 ***

人人都有慈善心

十二月二十四日


December 24, 2012

快樂之源 ***

生活是否真快樂
在乎心念的方向
如內心充滿貪慾
貪慾未滿足之前
怎可能會有快樂
若能夠去除慾念
打開心胸顯仁愛
快樂一定會隨身

Source of happiness ***

Whether life is really happy or not, depends on your mind set. If you are full of greed, you can’t be happy before you can satisfy your greed. But if you can remove your unnecessary desires and keep an open mind and a kind heart, you will find happiness.

分享快樂 ***

快樂不是名與利
也不是物質享受
也不是一種娛樂
快樂是來自內心
是內心一種財富
而你有權去選擇
快樂或者不快樂
也可選與人同樂

Share your happiness ***

Happiness does not come from fame. Nor does it come from wealth. It is not the same as material enjoyment. Nor is it the same as an entertainment. Happiness comes from within your kind heart. It is your own personal wealth. You have a choice. You can choose to be happy or unhappy. Better still you can choose to share your happiness with others.

Daily Advice December 21, 2012 叫苦連天 Screamingly painful

Due to personal X’Mas travel, daily advice for December 17 to January 2 will be published  in advance.  

十二月二十一日

December 21, 2012

叫苦連天 ***

生命雖叫苦連天
但無須怨天怨地
只要做人有目標
凡事向準目標行
有難可以去求助
知己會熱情幫助
家人無條件支持
遲早會達到目標

Screamingly painful ***

Life may be screamingly painful but there is no need to complain bitterly about it. As long as you have a personal goal and put in your efforts to work towards achieving your goal, you will be able to get help if needed. Your friends will assist you enthusiastically, and your family members will support you at all cost. With these supports, sooner or later, you will be able to attain your goal.

潔身自愛 ***

財富是生不帶來
也都是死不帶走
只不過是身外物
一旦到生命終結
貧富同成堆黃土
財富生命相比下
生命當然最寶貴
好好去潔身自愛

Be innocent and have self-respect ***

When you were born, you did not come into this world with your wealth. When you leave this world, you cannot take your wealth with you. Wealth is not part of your body. When you are gone, you will become part of earth regardless whether you are wealthy or not. When wealth is compared with life itself, naturally life is more precious. You are better off if you maintain an innocent life and have self-respect at all times.

Daily Advice December 20, 2012 凡事小心 Always be careful

十二月二十日

December 20, 2012

凡事小心 ***

小心駛得萬年船
凡事小心最上算
對人對事都一樣
小心帶眼去識人
留意對方的言行
君子不妨多接近
小人最好勿親近
減少不必要麻煩

Always be careful ***

If you are always alert, you can sail your ship safely forever. It is a safe thing to do if you are careful about how you handle both people and things. Keep your eyes wide open when building new relationships. Watch carefully how people speak and how they behave. There is no harm to be friends with good people, but you should stay away from bad people. If you do this, you will have fewer troubles.

奉承話 ***

人人愛聽奉承話
聽起來會飄飄然
自以為高人一等
忘掉真正的自己
其實有沒有想過
別人目的是甚麼
若奉承信以為真
很可能害了自己

Flattery ***

Everyone wants to hear words of flattery. These words do sound pleasing to your ears. They make you feel you are superior to others. They may even make you forget the real you. Have you ever thought of why people say those flattery words? If you are being fooled by these words and believe they are true, you may get hurt.

Due to personal X’Mas travel, daily advice for December 17 to January 2 will be published  in advance.

千變萬化 ***

千變萬化的社會
一定要拓展視野
睜開雙眼去學習
破除狹隘的思想
用頭腦清醒思考
勤奮接受新觀念
努力學習新知識
創造一個新天地

Living in a ever-changing world ***

Living in this ever-changing world, one must expand one’s horizon and look at things with a long term view. One needs to keep one’s eyes open, and view things differently as if it was a learning lesson. Avoid narrow thinking. Keep an open-mind in your thinking and accept new ideas. Put in extra effort to learn new things and build a new career for yourself.

不顧前後 ***

有些人不顧前後
也不去衡量輕重
不知道是非黑白
糊撞亂跑去辦事
難免會敗事有餘
到頭來害人害己
做事要小心謹慎
才可以平步青雲

Blind-folded ***

Some people do things as if they are blind-folded. They never look at past experience and use it to plan for the future. They make no effort to try and understand what is right and what is wrong. They just barge ahead and carry out their tasks without any planning and thinking. Inevitably, their success rate is almost nil. In the end, they not only damage their career, they may hurt others as well. If you want to move up the ladder, you need to be careful in planning before you carry out your tasks.

只有怨自己 ***

個人的成功失敗
是由自己去選擇
如果肯勤奮好學
打好自己的基礎
修養自己的品德
那愁沒成功機會
但不肯提昇自己
失敗只有怨自己

You only have yourselves to blame ***

People’s personal success or failure depends on how much effort one puts in one's work. If one is willing to learn diligently, build up a wealth of knowledge and develop a good personality, one doesn’t have to worry about one’s opportunities of being a successful person. But, if you are not willing to upgrade your skills and knowledge from time to time, you only have yourselves to blame for your failures.

與人看齊 ***

無須要與人看齊
個人有個人優點
因教育環境差異
造就了不同性格
養成了不同風釆
能把自我露出來
會有獨特的魅力
無須要與人看齊

You don’t have to be in line with people ***

You don’t need to be in line with everyone. Everyone has their own strengths. Our family backgrounds and educational backgrounds are different. Such differences create our own unique personality and behavior. As long as you can demonstrate your own potential, you will have your own unique charm. Definitely you don’t need to be in line with others.

機會難尋要留神
莫讓機會空溜過
好好把握著機會
把潛能盡量發揮
為己為人謀幸福
努力奮鬥做到好
能夠做到此地步
可算對得起自己

Grasp any opportunities ***

Opportunities are hard to find. Watch out for them and don’t let them slip through your fingers. Make sure you grasp them and take advantage of them to demonstrate your potential to help you develop your career. Do it for yourself, and for others, and make sure you put in your best efforts. Only if you do that, you can claim you have carried out your responsibility.

服務態度 ***

無論做甚麼工作
服務態度定要好
先養成熱愛工作
有愛心自然開心
對工作有利無害
不但工作效率高
容易和別人溝通
合作愉快大家好

Service attitude ***

No matter what kind of job you do, you must keep a good service attitude. First develop a love for the work you do. If you love your job, you will be happy. With a positive attitude, you will do a good job. You will be able to produce a high working efficiency and able to communicate well with others. People will like to cooperate with you.

Why fight for something everyday? If you see something that you don’t like, just tell yourself “let nature takes its course.” There is no need to calculate everything even though it is related to wealth and power.

如果能在生命中
擁有一個好知己
大家能共享快樂
互雙能解憂解愁
生活會輕鬆愉快

The higher you climb, the colder it becomes ***

When you climb higher up in the corporate ladder, the lonelier you become. This is like climbing up the hill, the higher you climb, the colder it becomes. Try your best to develop friendships both inside and outside your work-place. If you can find a good friend, you can share both your joy and your frustration. You will then be able to relax and be happy

知己定要有 ***

趁年輕廣交朋友

老來走動不方便
依然可拿起電話
傾訴喜歡的話題

Make friends while you are still young. Everyone must have life-long good friends. You don’t need many but you must have some. A few good ones will be more than enough.

Don’t trust anything to the letter from a reputed high authority. You should analyze carefully what you hear and what you see. Don’t be afraid of authoritative power.

十二月十日       December 10, 2012

小人之得志 ***

小人之所以得志
靠的是口舌甜滑
全沒有真槍實彈
這只不過是僥倖
還持驕貶低別人
這樣的言行舉止
是不得別人尊敬
最終會自食其果

Why people of bad character appear to be successful ***

You may wonder why a person of bad character can be successful. Such a person is very sweet and slimy in his/her use of words. In reality, he/she doesn’t mean what he/she says. It is all by luck that he/she can succeed. Not only that, he/she is arrogant and disparages others. Malicious words and deeds do not gain any respect at all. Ultimately such a person will pay for this bad behavior.

親力親為 ***

只會說而不實行
無人對你有信心
因你沒親身體驗
試問怎能有資格
可說自己是專業
一定要親身力行
時時要自我反省
才可成為好榜樣

DIY (Do it yourself) ***

If you only talk about it, but never do it yourself, eventually you will lose confidence in yourself. It is because you don’t have the practical experience, and how can you claim to be a professional? Only if you do it yourself, and engage in self-introspection, to look for improvement, can you claim to be a good example for others to follow.

十二月七日


December 7, 2012

人生的旅途 ***

人一生的旅途中
時時要注意安全
不可以盲衝直撞
有時也要停一停
看看週圍的環境
聽清楚附近聲音
看看有沒有危險
才可安全向前行

Life’s journey ***

In one's journey through life, one should always pay attention to safety and should not rush blindly to do things. Sometimes it is worth stopping for a while and take stock of the surrounding environment. Listen carefully to the sounds surrounding you, and try to feel whether there is any danger before moving ahead.

短暫無常 ***

人生是短暫無常
時光一去不復來
壽命長短難預料
瞬息間化為烏有
或許一切天安排
得到的定要珍惜
未得到不要苛求
一切要聽其自然

Transient impermanence ***

Life is a short impermanence. Once time is gone, it will never come back. No one knows how long one lives. In the twinkling of an eye, everything may disappear. Maybe everything is destined in life. If this is the case, value what you have, and don’t ask for the impossible. Let nature takes its course.

說話要小心 ***

做人說話要小心
失言將難以挽救
要小心把話說好
最好要留些餘地
留下適當的空間
不應該把話說死
更不應搬弄是非
才不會造成傷害

Be careful ***

People have to be careful about what they say; otherwise once said, they will not be able to withdraw what has been said. The best speech is to say good things. It is even better if they give people room to manoeuvre. Don’t say anything that forces other people into a corner. Never create new rumors. Rumors may cause harm to the originator and other people.

做甚麼好 ***

做人要理智分析
甚麽事是應該做

該做的立即去做
排除萬難都要做
若是不應該做的

What should be done ***

Before we take any action, we should perform a rational analysis to determine what should be done, what should not be done and what needs to be done immediately. Regarding those things that need to be done immediately; we should go ahead and do them now, even though they are difficult tasks. For those that should not be done, we should refuse to do them even though the temptation is high.

助人會積福 ***

做人如不再做福
就好像銀行存款

做人也都是一樣
要發揮慈悲心腸
助人始終會積福

Helping others will bring good luck ***

If you cherish what you have and continue to perform good deeds, you will add luck to your fortune. But if you don’t perform any good deeds, it is equivalent to not having deposited any money in your bank account. Your withdrawals will eventually leave you with nothing. Life is the same. We must perform charity with a sincere heart. Such contributions will bring us good luck.

Make the wrong move ***

Once you make a wrong move, every other step you take will be wrong too. Once you compound your error, it will be increasingly difficult to turn back.

Any such corrective action may leave some room for yourself, and help you get out of this bad situation.

人誰無錯 ***

世間上人誰無錯
有些是無心犯錯
有些受不住誘惑
結果是知錯犯錯
無論有心或無心

也可算是個好人

Who has no faults in their lives?

It is unlikely that, in this world, there are people who have no faults. Some people have made inadvertent mistakes; others, because of not being able to refuse temptations, did something wrong, even though they might know that these deeds were wrong. Whether they did something wrong, intentionally or unintentionally, they must be responsible for their mistakes and take corrective actions. Only if they are willing to do that, can they then be forgiven, and be considered as a good person again.

What people do in their life will be recorded on a page of history. Some pages have contents of glorious events. Definitely these are worthy people to follow.

在場各人都難受
不如事前說真話
你好我好大家好

The lie ***

Lying is always wrong. It doesn’t matter whether you do it with a good intention in mind or not. A lie is no good to you and bad to others as well. Once the truth is revealed, it is inevitably embarrassing for everyone. If that is the case, why don’t you tell the truth in the first place? This way, it is good for everybody.

謊言是錯誤 ***

謊言本質是錯誤
就算是出於善意
一樣是不受歡迎
無人喜歡被欺騙
謊言永不可長埋
就算權威有多大
一旦被拆穿之時
始終尷尬要下台

Lying is wrong ***

Lying is wrong even though you may have a good reason for doing it. A lie is never welcome. No one wants to be cheated. Besides, you can never hold the truth back forever. No matter how powerful you may be, you still cannot prevent the truth being revealed. Once the truth is exposed, you will be so embarrassed that you will have no choice but step down.

天災人禍 ***

世界各地的天災
使人人手足無措
也無法及時逃避
慘不忍睹的情景
有誰看見不心痛
請大家提出善心
伸出一雙援助手
助災民渡過難關

Natural and man-made disasters ***

When natural disasters occur, they are generally beyond people’s control. Nor can victims easily escape the path of such calamities when they happen. Who will not be sad when they see or hear of such appalling events? Therefore, we all should show our compassion and offer a hand to help the victims and their family members.

出一點力 ***

天災人禍的新聞
真個是慘不忍睹
身處平淡的生活
可算是福中之福
理應懂得去珍惜
好好把握好時光
為社會出一點力
為己為人謀幸福

Help a little ***

It is horrible to hear of natural and man-made disasters. We should feel fortunate even when we have a dull life. We really should treasure whatever we have. Take advantage of the days that we still have, and offer our services to help people in our community, and elsewhere in the world.

十月三十日        October 30, 2012

保持清醒 ***

貪念會令人亂性
勿貪一時之興奮
失去理智亂享樂
小心樂極會忘形
所以時時要清醒
認清有無走錯路
一旦走入黑暗路
永遠不會有光明

Stay alert ***

Being greedy may make you lose your mind. Don’t look for irrational pleasure just for a moment of excitement.  Be careful and don’t get carried away to the degree that it becomes an issue. Therefore, always be alert and make sure you don’t enter the wrong side of the road; otherwise you end up driving in the dark and will never see the light.

最好低調些 ***

無論運氣好或壞
做人最好低調些
光鋒過露會惹禍
無謂惹小人妒忌
引來不必要麻煩
把精神留意身邊
注意有沒有貴人
善結人緣也無妨

It’s best to keep a low profile ***

Whether you are in power or not, it is best to keep a low profile. Being too outstanding may make people jealous and cause unnecessary trouble for yourself. Instead, pay attention to the people around you and you may find someone who is worthy, with whom you can develop a personal relationship to help your career development.

十月二十九日      October 29, 2012

無悔的一生 ***

白髮告訴你甚麼
青春是不會長留
趁年輕有氣有力
及早立定個目標
立個有意義目標
向準目標向前行
算是對得起自己
留下無悔的一生

Live a life of no regrets ***

What does your white hair tell you? It shows that people cannot keep their youth forever. While you are young and strong, make sure you have a personal goal. Set a target to work towards achieving your goal. If you do that, you are doing something good for yourself and you should have a life of no regrets.

享樂大自然 ***

誰說人生是無聊
試找個陽光早晨
約埋幾個好知己
上山試試慢步遊
聽小鳥無愁細語
看看鳥兒自由飛
還有風聲樹搖聲
怎會無聊不開心

Enjoy nature ***

Who says life is boring? Try to find a sunny morning. Get together with your friends and go hiking. Listen to the birds singing their songs of no sorrow and flying freely in the sky. Enjoy the wind blowing the leaves and listen to the sound of swinging branches. How can you be bored anymore?

十月二十六日     October 26, 2012

一種樂趣 ***

有得忙當然是好
但不可以太疲倦
忙裡也都要偷閑
始終身體最重要
但有些食物想食
只要能得到快樂
間中享受個美餐
可算是一種樂趣

A pleasure ***

Being busy maybe a good thing but one should not totally exhaust one’s self. No matter how busy you are, you should still take a break. The most important thing in life is your health. If you want to eat something not so healthy but it makes you happy, go ahead and eat some. After all, if you don’t over-indulge, having a nice meal can be a kind of pleasure.

名利身外物 ***

若然得到了名利
但是失去了生命
那就是得不償失
名利只是身外物
為追求個人名利
而捱到身體孱弱
贏得來一個大病
這真是全不值得

You cannot carry fame with you ***

Even if you have gained fame and fortune, but you don’t have good health, what you gained cannot make up for what you have lost. Remember you cannot carry fame with you when you leave this world. It is totally not worth it if your health is compromised because of your extra efforts to pursuit fame.

十月二十五日     October 25, 2012

專心致志 ***

做事不專心致志
一定是不會成功
就算有多少成就
成績不會是優良
但如果專心致志
再加上愛業敬業
辦事會事半功倍
前途定會是無限

The dedication ***

If you don’t devote yourself with full focus to your job, it is very unlikely that you can be successful. Even if you have some achievements, those results will not be outstanding. But if you commit your full dedication, and demonstrate your love and respect for your job, you only need half the effort to complete your job with flying colors. You will then deserve to have a bright future.

勤力做 ***

做人不可以懶惰
環境隨時是會變
而且變得很突然
若然今日不勤力
他朝人老不值錢
到時搵食甚艱難
把握今天勤力做
蓄番個錢過晚年

Working hard ***

Don’t be lazy. Good days may not last forever and the environment around you can change. Unfortunately these changes come quickly and unexpectedly. If you don’t work hard now, you may not be able to get a good job when you grow old. Take advantage of the current situation and work hard to keep the job. Save as much as you can for the retirement days.

十月二十四日      October 24, 2012

心情是人為 ***

心情開朗萬事興
苦悶心情不如意
心情好壞是人為
人人都可以領會
天摔落下當被蓋
船到橋頭自然直
時間會沖淡一切
一切煩惱化為塵

Your mood is controlled by you ***

When you are open-minded, everything will turn out as you wish. When you are in a depressed mood, nothing turns out to be right. Remember your mood is controlled by you. Try to appreciate this. Even if the sky falls down, you just treat it as a blanket. Things will find their way out like when a ship docks, it will always end up straight. Time will heal everything and all troubles will be gone.

人生觀 ***

心情好壞人生觀
好時面色笑開顏
事事順景人開胃
壞時面色苦瓜乾
頭頭碰著不如意
好壞心情靠自己
凡事向好方面想
煩惱離身鴻運到

Attitude ***

How life looks to you depends on your attitude. When you are in a good mood, you will always wear a smiling face. Everything will turn out well, and even your appetite will be good too. But when you are in a bad mood, you will wear a sad face. You will bump into unpleasant events. Remember that no one controls your own mood. If you think of the bright side of everything, you will slough off your worries and you will have your own luck.

十月二十三日        October 23, 2012

重陽節 ***

重陽節日倍思親
懷念古人定難免
傷心流淚是正常
無須掩飾怕人看
有情有義有淚水
淚水汪汪是真情
真情流淚思古人
往日恩情永難忘

Chung Yeung Festival ***

During Chung Yeung Festival, it is natural to think of your loved ones, who are no longer here, and cry. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed if people see you cry. As long as you love your deceased family members, your tears are a reflection of how much you miss them. Don’t worry how people look at you. It is natural to shed tears and think of the good old days with your loved ones.

懷念古人 ***

重陽掃墓上柱香
誠心感恩拜父母
父母親情永難忘
今生今世報不完
來生再報父母恩
夫妻緣盡也分離
重陽上香感情緣
來生再續未了情

Missing your loved ones

While visiting graves during Chung Yeung Festival, people burn a stick of incense to pay respect to their ancestors. A measure of how grateful people are lies in the fact that, they will never forget how their parents took care of them and they will never be able to pay back enough for their parents’ love. What they can wish for is to repay such love in their next lives. All love relationships will end someday. Again, burning a stick of incense can be a way to express your true love. At this time what you can do is to wish that you can continue your loving relationship in your next lives.

十月二十二日    October 22, 2012

人浮於事 ***

人浮於事的社會
若想老闆來青睞
首先看你的表現
自己本份的工作
是否自動去完成
再去看你的才能
是否能按時完成
是否完成得出色

Oversupply of labor ***

If you want your boss to notice your talent in this world of oversupply of labor, you need to evaluate your own behavior. Ask yourself whether you take initiative to carry out your duty, whether you deliver your commitment on time and how well you perform your own job.

不可盡取 ***

有才能不可傲盡
才可得別人尊敬
得理時不必搶盡
才可得別人認同
有氣勢不必倚盡
才贏得口服心服
富貴時不必盡享
才可保長命富貴

Don’t go to the extreme ***

Even if you are a talented person, don’t be arrogant, otherwise you won’t win the respect of others. Even when you are right, don’t claim 100% of the credit; otherwise people may not agree with you 100% of the time. When you have power, don’t use it to the extreme; otherwise you only gain lip service. When you are wealthy, don’t spend extravagantly. If you can do that, you will be able to enjoy your wealth for a long time.

十月十八日           October 18, 2012

自取沒趣 ***

莫以為懂得小小
便覺別人不如已
高傲看不起別人
還大聲高談闊論
其實所知是有限
見識少沒有視野
未必得別人認同
到頭來自取沒趣

Ask for embarrassment ***

Don’t look down at others because you are a little bit more knowledgeable. Don’t be arrogant and speak loudly as if you know everything. Possibly, you may know very little especially when you don’t have a long term view. No one will respect you when you behave like this. In fact, what you are doing is looking to be embarrassed.

螳螂捕蟬 ***

常言道螳螂捕蟬
忘記了黃雀在後
人迷失於個利字
而忘了害字在後
就等於螳螂捕蟬
而黃雀戄食螳螂
做人要銘記於心
不可重利而忘害

Don’t be blinded by greed ***

It is often said the Praying Mantis always stalks the Cicada. Yet the Mantis forgets there is Oriole watching him from behind. Similarly people are obsessed by chasing wealth and forget that there maybe disaster looming. It is like the Mantis catching the Cicada but ultimately being eaten by the Oriole. We should remind ourselves that we should focus not only on pursuing wealth, but also not to forget about any harm that such action may bring.

十月十七日         October 17, 2012

幸運之人 ***

失敗歸罪於不幸
其實是自欺欺人
失敗乃成功之母
人生如花開花落
難免會有得有失
更難免有苦有樂
不為低潮而沮喪
才是個幸運之人

Lucky man ***

Don’t blame misfortune as the cause of your failures. If you do that, you are in fact fooling yourself. Don’t forget that “failure is the mother of success.” Life is like a blooming flower: it blooms and it withers. It is inevitable that life has success, failures, joy and pain. Don’t be depressed when faced with bad times. Your luck will turn around.

失敗 ***


失敗了無須絕望
可從中吸取經驗
無須太在意結果
而弄到無臉見人
最可貴還是過程
過程中已盡全力
可算對得起自己
經一事會長一智

Failures ***

Don’t despair even if you fail. Learn from such an experience. Don’t focus too much on the end result and don’t worry how people may look at you. What is more important is how much effort you have put in. If you have tried your best, you are fair to your own self. You become smarter because you have gained a valuable experience.

Daily Advice October 16, 2012 不如意事多 Life is full of unhappy events

十月十六日        October 16, 2012

不如意事多 ***

人生不如意事多
情緒激動難克制
手足無措易沮喪
茶飯不思沒精神
此時一定要樂觀
本著能忍隨緣心
原諒所有人和事
心情自然會好轉

Life is full of unhappy events ***

When faced with adversity, it is understandable that some people may be emotionally upset. They may feel helplessly frustrated, resulting in loss of appetite. At this moment, it is advisable to remain positive. If you can be patient, go with the flow and forgive a little, you will then be more receptive to deal with the situation.

驕者必敗 ***

人皆知月滿則虧
這是自然界現象
人一樣驕者必敗
這也是世之常理
做人要保持謙虛
凡事不求太巔峰
最好做到留餘地
一切要適可而止

Pride may destroy you ***

Everyone knows the moon cannot always be full. This is due to the phenomenon of nature. People should have the sense of understanding that pride may destroy them. Therefore people should be humble and modest. Don’t always ask for the best of everything for yourself. Always leave some room for others. The best is to keep everything in moderation.

成功之路 ***

欲求達上成功路
首先不看輕自己
發奮圖強去做人
世上根本無難事
在乎有沒有信心
以為不可能的事
本著苦幹的精神
不可能可變可能

The road to success ***

If you want to get onto the road to success, first of all, don’t belittle yourself. Then, you need to work hard towards your personal goal. There is no rocket science. If you want to succeed, you need to have confidence in yourself. Even though other people may think that what you are doing is impossible, you can make the impossible become possible by working diligently with the spirit of self confidence.

不要灰心 ***

遇到困難的時候
不要灰心要努力
不要流淚要流汗
不要沮喪要抬頭
不要放棄要奮鬥
不要怨天要積極
機會是源源不絕
總會有出頭日子

Don't be discouraged ***

Don't be discouraged from working even though you may be facing difficulties. Don’t shed tears but rather shed sweat. Don’t be dispirited but raise your head to look forward. Don’t give up but work harder. Don’t blame anyone but be positive. Opportunities always exist. Be patient and you will have your chance to be successful.

十月十二日            October 12, 2012

吹水聊天 ***

人人都會有壓力
忍受上司的呵斥
應付同事的排擠
還有家庭的難題
彷彿是世界末日
又像催命的喪鐘
此時最好去散心
知己同聚吹下水

Chit chat with your good friends ***

Everyone has some kind of stress e.g. endurance of your supervisor’s unfair treatment, facing exclusion by your colleagues, or dealing with family problems. Any one of these will make you feel like it is the end of the world or as if the death bell is ringing to welcome you. Under this situation, you are better off if you spend time to “chit chat” with your good friends.

生活情趣 ***

選擇是生活情趣
當遇上不如意事
你可以選擇放棄
又或者選擇自信
把自卑心態拋開
品嘗自信的滋味
面對不如意之事
有信心定可解難

Lifestyle and personal taste ***

Having a choice is part of any lifestyle and a matter of personal taste. When you are faced with unhappy events, you have choices. You can chose to give up or build up your confidence, throw away your low-esteem, and use self-confidence to address your unhappy situation.

十月十一日            October 11, 2012

自知之明 ***

人要有自知之明
除了知自己長處
也要知自己短處
不可以執迷不悟
莫高估自己聰明
為小聰明而高傲
應該要不停改進
辦事才不會失敗

Self-recognition ***

People need to have self-knowledge to recognize their own strengths. They should know their own talent and their weaknesses. Don’t be stubborn and over estimate your potential. There is no need to be proud of your wisdom. We should continuously improve ourselves to prevent us from suffering a failure.

量力而為 ***

莫過份高估自己
不知道個人力量
對未能勝任之事
盲目去執行任務
這樣會招致危機
難免會惹來禍患
甚至會害人害己
做事要量力而為

Work within your limit ***

Don't overestimate your talent. If you don’t know your limit and go ahead to commit to do something, that you are not capable to deliver, this can be a dangerous attempt. You may create problems not only for yourself but affect others as well. Therefore, only promise to deliver what your capacity allows you to do.

要想創一番大事
不可以沒有大志
立志是起步動力
只要有高遠目標
奮鬥不息的精神
便可上成功之路
如果做人志不立
則沒可能會成功

Building a big career ***

If you want to build a big career, you must have an ambition and a career goal. Having an ambition is the first step but you must have a long term goal and be willing to struggle with vigor. Only if you possess such qualities, will you be able to succeed. If you don’t have a goal, you will never be successful.

自信 ***

讓自信伴隨著你

把自卑拋離身外
去除內心的彷徨

水深火熱 ***

水深火熱的感覺
的而且確是難受
謹記做人不應該
把別人拋進水深
也不應推進火熱
如待人水深火熱
只會令別人反感
甚至當你是仇人

Being pushed into deep water or a strong fire ***

The feeling of being pushed into deep water or a strong fire definitely is not a comfortable feeling. We all should remember that we should not push people into deep water or a strong fire. But if we do push people into either deep water or a strong fire, people will be offended. They may treat you as their enemies.

If you treat everyone as if they were a family member, and you are willing to help them selflessly, people will cooperate with you. As long as both of you do not play favorites, you will be able to build good relationships. This is a good way to promote cooperation.

簡簡單單過曰子
煩惱自然一定少
休閒自在過曰子
心情容易會開朗

A simple life ***

Because of greed, one may do something that later can cause regrets in life. Therefore if you are willing to live a simple life, it can be a kind of tasteful lifestyle. Living a simple life will not incur many troubles. Naturally such lifestyle can be very relaxing and you will feel cheerful at all times.

快樂在身旁 ***
你或者未領悟到
快樂分秒在身旁
只是你讓它溜走
沒好好地抓著它
如果能保持樂觀
能提得起放得下
生活會活得輕鬆
快樂會天天纏身

Happiness is always with you ***

You may not realize that happiness is always with you. Most likely you let it slip through your fingers. You miss the chance of grasping it. If you can maintain a positive attitude and can take anything up and let it down easily, you will find life is more relaxing and can feel happiness is always with you.

不要與人比 ***

人無須要與人比
即使目前是貧窮
也無須一定悲觀
把貧窮當作動力
作為是個人資本
憑著個人的奮鬥
遲早會創出財富
為自己創番事業

Do not compare yourself to others ***

Don’t compare yourself to others even when you are facing poverty. There is no reason to be pessimistic. Treat poverty as a source of will power and as an individual’s capital. If you are willing to struggle through these difficult times, you will be able to create wealth. It is only a matter of time that you will build a career for yourself.

出人頭地 ***

人人有不同挑戰
也都有不同機會
只是個人的目光
選擇了個人命運
要認清個人長短
掩飾個人的短處
利用長處來立足
定可以出人頭地

Be somebody ***

Everyone has both different challenges and different opportunities. It is one’s desire and choice that dictate one’s destiny. What you need to do is to understand your own self. Know your talents and your shortcomings. Make good use of your talents to help you build a career and you will stand out to become somebody.

坐等時機再重來
先來一個小勝利
但當大勝來慶祝
重振雄風重頭來

Come back ***

When winners face failure, they know how to deal with such a situation. First, they need to recuperate. Then, they will think carefully what to do next. Prepare themselves and wait for a new opportunity. Try to win a small victory but make sure to celebrate such victory as if it is a big victory. Only if you have such desire to move forward, will you be brave enough to come back to win again.

做人要名副其實
服飾與身份相配

可能是虛有其表
內裡的人品才學
才是個人的財富
要養成實事求是
擁有實學去做人

We all need to be practical. Although your dress matches your status, it may not really convey anything meaningful. What is worth more is not what you wear; it is your personal character.

十月一日            October 1, 2012
積穀防飢 ***

金錢得來唔容易
想到日常辛苦搵
不可隨便來亂散
任何消費要慳番
須知積少便成多
千金散盡不再回
用錢應該有預算
量入為出最上算

Save for a rainy day ***

It is not easy to earn money. When you think of how hard it is to earn money, you should not spend it frivolously. Whatever money you can save, you can accumulate over a period of time, can become a reasonable sum. But once you have spent it, money will never come back. It is advisable to have a budget. The best guiding principle is to spend less than what you have earned.

點打算 ***

入不支付點打算
用錢無限點計算
煙酒害人唔化萛
亂去用錢冇得算
物質享受怕長算
未雨綢繆好打算
快樂憂愁無得算
知足常樂最上算

Financial planning ***

You are not following a good plan if your expenditures exceed your income. Ii is equally unsound to spend money without any limit. Spending money on alcohol and tobacco is not the best way to use your money. Continuously spending money on satisfying unnecessary desires is dangerous. You cannot know when you will have either happy or sad days. It is therefore better to have a financial plan and save up a cushion for a rainy day. Also, it is always good to be contented with what you have. In this way, you will be happier.

中秋節 ***

花好月圓中秋節
祝賀天下有情人
明瞭相識是緣份
能夠相聚是福份
甜蜜對話帶笑容
互相尊敬理當然
恩愛扶持過一生
共甘共苦活到老

The Mid-Autumn Festival ***

We should celebrate the full Moon Festival and wish all lovers in the world the understanding that meeting your partner is fate, and to be able to be together is a blessing. Always maintain mutual respect and say sweet words to each other with a smile. Love and support each other. Be happy to go through thin and thick for the rest of your lives.

燭光晚餐 ***


中秋節日要慶祝
紅酒燭光是難免
浪漫氣氛度黃昏
融融細語訴心聲
低聲說句我愛你
溫馨體恤手拖手
海邊慢步頭並頭
恩愛盡在不言中

Candlelight dinner ***



We all should celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with candle and wine for dinner. Let’s have a romantic evening and whisper to each other saying that “I love you.” Let’s walk along the beach after dinner hand in hand and shoulder on shoulder. It is understood that we are deeply in love without saying it loud.

Daily Advice September 27, 2012 回頭望望 Turn around and look back at your past

九月二十七日     September 27, 2012


回頭望望 ***

年老了回頭望望
年輕時為情徬徨
中年時拼命打滾
日捱夜捱為兩餐
未懂健康的重要
賺到多少狂飲食
病時才怕走得早
未有享受過人生

Turn around and look back at your past ***

Sometimes it is good to turn around and look back at your past. You will realize when you were young, your priority was to look for true love. When you reached middle-age, you worked hard day and night to make a living and didn’t pay attention to your health. When you had money, you ate and drank freely to the point of exhaustion. Only when you were sick, did you start to worry that you might be heading to the end of your life journey. Not only that, you finally began to realize that you may not have really enjoyed a meaningful life.

好伴侶 ***

只要有個好伴侶
手拖手地向前行
確是天賜的幸福
累了一起來歇息
渴了大家來暢飲
餓了齊齊吃碗麵
勞累的只是身體
心態輕鬆最重要

Having a good partner ***

It is indeed a gift from heaven if you have a good partner, walking together hand in hand, along your life journey. When you are tired, both of you can rest together. When you are thirsty, both of you can have a drink. When you are hungry, enjoy a bowl of noodles together. You may exhaust your body but most importantly you have a relaxing life.

九月二十六日       September 26, 2012

今日眼前的一切
可能一朝會消失
如果眼前是灰暗

明天可能是光明
如果眼前是平淡
平淡也是種福份
只要一家樂融融

Someday in the future, everything in front of you now will disappear. If you feel today is a gray day. Tomorrow can be a bright day.

Such an opportunity is already a kind of good luck.

更不必灰心退讓
盡自己最大力量
向準自己的目標
昂著邁進向前行
盡了人事聽天命

Listen to your destiny ***

Who doesn’t want to be successful? Unfortunately there isn’t any 100% sure-win strategy. As long as you are not arrogant, never give up, and put in your best efforts in achieving your personal goal and, if you have done all these things, you should be satisfied and let your destiny lead its way.
