改變一個人 *** 要改變另一個人 其實是件非凡事 用批判去勸服人 可能會結成敵意 對方未必會接受 最好方法是包容 態度一定要謙虛 或可贏得個認同	Change a person *** Actually it is not an easy task to change a person.  If you criticize a person, you may end up being an enemy to that person.  He/she will not accept your criticism.  The best approach is to be inclusive with a modest attitude.  This way, you may have a chance to win his/her agreement.
想成功嗎 *** 你真的想成功嗎 首先要立個目標 目標不可是虛幻 一定要實際可成 策劃好一個計謀 跟著計劃去實行 遇到難題可求助 有志者一定成功	Want to be successful ***     If you really want to succeed, first establish an objective.  Make sure your target is not unrealistic.  It must be a practical one, and one that can be achieved.   Make a plan how to achieve such an objective.  Follow your plan and execute it.  When you encounter problems that you cannot resolve, you must ask for external help.  As long as you have confidence, you will be successful.

人生觀 *** 每個人的人生觀 未必會全是一樣 有人會淡泊名利 卻有人苦追名利 個人自己的喜愛 未必人人都一樣 不應以小人之心 去衡量君子之腹	Outlook on life *** Everyone's outlook on life may not be the same.   Some people do measure life achievements by fame and wealth, while others only chase fame and fortune. People’s favorites are different.  Don’t judge people based on their outlook in life.
上天是公平 *** 上天其實很公平 機會是無所不在 只是你怎樣應付 你可以怨天怨地 發白日夢等機會 但有人自製機會 也有人把握機會 從來不讓它溜走	God is fair *** Heaven is actually very fair.  Opportunity is everywhere for everyone.  It all depends on how you cope with life.  You can blame heaven and earth for not giving you an opportunity or you can generate opportunities for yourself.   There are alert people who grasp each opportunity and never let it slip away.

自知之明 *** 生存在繁雜社會 除了有知人之智 也要有自知之明 清楚自己的長短 才可以估價自己 盡量去彌補短處 利用長處去創業 腳踏實地向上爬	Knowing your own self  *** Living in the current complex society, in addition to having intellectual wisdom, one must know oneself.  One should know one’s own strength and weaknesses.  Only then, you can evaluate your own value.  Make your best efforts to improve your weaknesses and take advantage of your strength to develop your career. Be practical and move upwards your career ladder step by step.
吃力不討好 *** 做人有時要裝聾 有時也須要裝瞎 聾瞎一點也無害 但時常做和事佬 結果是上不討好 而下不迎合眾意 到頭來得罪兩邊 始終吃力不討好	It can be a thankless job *** Sometimes people need to pretend to be deaf or blind.  Being deaf or blind is harmless.   But if you are always trying to be a peacemaker, you may not be able to satisfy the people above and may become the enemy of the people below.  Net net, you upset both parties.  It is definitely a thankless job.

二月十八日	February 18, 2013
競爭是好事 ***  有競爭者是好事 競爭會令人振奮 像棋子比賽一樣 無論棋藝有幾高 不可以傲視對手 專注對手的威脅 小心思考每一步 勝負掌握方能勝	Competition is a good thing *** Competition is a good thing.  It makes you excited.  It is like playing a chess game.  No matter how skillful you are, you cannot underestimate the skill of your opponent.  Pay full attention to your opponent's threats and strategies.  Think carefully before you make each move.  You need to control the game before you can win.
贏家 *** 有人似天生贏家 事實並不是天生 是經過長期磨練 定要有體育精神 堅信自己的能力 對未來充滿信心 保持著樂觀心態 才可勝出變贏家	Winners *** Some people may think that they are born winners.  But in fact, no one is born as a winner.  All winners must have gone through a lot of hard work and must possess sports etiquette.  They must have confidence in themselves, believe in their own ability, and remain positive at all times.  Only if they can do that, will they become winners.

Daily Advice February 15, 2013 當作耳邊風 Turn a deaf ear to unpleasant events

二月十五日	February 15, 2013
當作耳邊風 *** 做人無須太執著 莫因小小一句話 而破壞美好心情 弄到連茶飯不思 又或者大發雷霆 這樣做法值得嗎 何不當作耳邊風 一笑置之好少理	Turn a deaf ear to unpleasant events *** Don’t be stubborn about everything.  Don’t destroy a good relationship because of a few unpleasant words.  It is even worse if you lose your appetite or get angry because of such words.   This is totally not worth it.   Why don’t you turn a deaf ear to those words?   Treat them with a smile and let them go.
嬰孩一笑 *** 金唔笑而銀唔笑 童顏一笑心即笑 嬰孩一笑值千金 但千金難買一笑 多和嬰孩齊齊笑 心情自然會開朗 煩惱自然會消失 世界看來是美好	Baby laugh *** You can’t buy a laugh with a piece of gold or silver.   But when you see a baby laugh, you will laugh too.   A baby’s laugh is worth a thousand pieces of gold.   Why don’t you laugh with a baby? You will have an open-mind, and your troubles will soon be gone.  Instead of bleakness, you will see a beautiful world.

二月十四日	February 14, 2013
情人節 *** 祝賀天下有情人 早晚低聲說一句 我愛你一生一世 有福大家齊齊享 有禍大家互扶持 同甘共苦過一生 白髪齊眉活到老 兒孫滿堂喜洋洋	Valentine’s Day  ***    Congratulate all lovers and wish them the capacity to say to their partner, in the morning and at night, that they love each other forever.   We wish you all can share both joy and sorrow, go through both thick and thin, grow old together and enjoy your grandchildren together.
甜甜蜜蜜 *** 愛情應該是甜蜜 不是鬥氣過日子 有愛有恨是當然 無須天天來鬥氣 為愛為情要犠牲 犠牲小小又何妨 凡事本著寛容心 甜甜蜜蜜過日子	Love is sweet  ***       Love is sweet and is not meant to engender quarrel over everything.    It is natural when you have love and also have hate.   There is no need to fight over small things everyday.  Whenever there is love, there is sacrifice.   For love, there is no harm to sacrifice a little. If you are willing to forgive a little, you will have sweet days.

二月十三日	February 13, 2013
歡喜冤家 *** 活在愛河的情侶 好多時歡喜冤家 大家總帶著偏見 想辦法改變對方 結果摩擦愈加深 如肯給對方空間 大家一人讓一步 反而會甜情蜜意	Love and conflict *** Even though people are deeply in love, they do have conflicts.  Instead of getting rid of their bias, they try their best to change the thinking of those they love.  This only results in more misunderstanding.  But if they are willing to give space to each other, and take one step backwards, they will have much sweeter days of intimate love.
愛的濃度 *** 愛的濃度怎計算 誰比誰是愛得多 誰愛得夠或不夠 何必一定要計算 雙方一定要明白 有愛就定有犧牲 為對方犧牲小小 會換來更深的愛	How to measure love *** Can love be measured?  Why do you have to judge who loves whom more and who loves whom less?   Why do you have to measure love?  Everyone must learn to accept the truth that, as long as there is love, there is bound to be sacrifice.  If you are willing to sacrifice a   little, you will end up being more deeply loved by your partner.
