March 31 Last chapter of new book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
A voice from a caregiver...

127. 叫苦連天 ***

叫苦連天的日子
好多時像吃黄蓮
苦不堪言的滋味
試問會有誰會知
錦上添花人會多
雪中送炭有幾人
最好自己來安慰
快快樂樂過日子

127. The temptation to complain ***

Continuously suffering pain day by day either physically or psychologically is like eating the rhizome of Chinese goldthread. The bitter taste is beyond description. No one can understand what you are going through under these circumstances. Actually there aren’t many people in this world who are willing to deliver charcoal to keep people warm; but there are many people who are delighted to deliver flowers to celebrate people’s promotions. What you really should do is to make sure you have a positive attitude and be at ease in handling your current difficult time.

128. 苦盡甘來 ***

人生未必盡是美
不如意事常八九
視病為人生過程
從中努力去奮鬥
將內心中的鬱苦
轉化為成長甘露
滋養出樂觀心態
去達成苦盡甘來

128. After the bitterness comes the sweetness ***

Life may not necessary be perfect. It is common that 8 or 9 life events out of 10 are unpleasant. Being sick is one of them but you need to struggle to help your patient to fight against his/her disease. Both of you need to turn your inner bitter feeling into a new strength to help you become positive, and ultimately turn all bitterness into sweetness.

129. 恩情親情 ***

恩情親情上天賜
有緣才能在一起
緣份注定共苦樂
服侍病人雖辛苦
內心安樂己足夠
多謝上天賜我緣
有緣才可有福份
能夠看護個病人

129. Family values ***

Be thankful that you have family members around you. It is fate that has brought everyone together to share both sadness and happiness. Although taking care of a patient requires a lot of sweat and hard work, it is, in fact, a privilege to be in a position to have the strength to take care of your patient. You should thank Almighty God for giving you such opportunity to show your compassion of taking care of your patient.

130. 好好笑一笑 ***

微微一笑又一天
微笑令人心開朗
做事也會輕鬆些
苦口苦臉又一天
做人為何要苦臉
何不好好笑一笑
一笑其實好值錢
有時有錢買唔到

130. Put on a sincere smile ***

Wear a smile everyday. This will help you to become open-minded and willing to take things easy and relax. Yet, you can choose to wear a bitter wrinkled face and live a miserable life. Why do you want to do that? Why don’t you smile everyday? The truth of the matter is that a smiling face worth’s a lot of money. Sometimes you can’t buy people’s smile even though you may be filthy rich.
