要留餘地***
做人要留些餘地
要與人和平共處
時常要以禮相待
無須要斤斤計較
不應去中傷他人
造成深深的傷痕
弄到两人無灣轉
這樣做人沒趣味
Leave room for nurturing a good relationship***
Always remember whatever you do, always leave room for nurturing a good relationship. Maintain a peaceful atmosphere when getting together with people. Always be polite to each other. There is no merit in being a calculating person. Don’t do anything injurious to people. If you hurt people deeply and drive them into a dead end road, you will compromise the tranquility of your life.
做人之道***
天底下不公平的
不合理的事太多
有的是可以改善
有的是無法可改
最好管理的辦法
就是努力去修行
提得起和放得下
這樣做人會開心
How to be a happier person***
Unfair and unreasonable things happen everyday. Some of them can be fixed but some can never be fixed. The best way to deal with such situations is to work hard to learn how to do a job diligently and yet learn how to let go. If you can do that, you will be a happier person.

活得更圓滿***
每段友情都是美
總有迷人的一刻
只要銘記這一刻
留下美好的回憶
忘記傷心的一刻
瀟灑說一聲再見
不再去想傷心事
生活會更加圓滿
You will be happier***
Every relationship is beautiful. It always has its enchanting moment. You only need to remember this moment and keep this as a sweet memory. No need to remember the other moments; especially those unhappy moments. Let go of those unhappy moments. Don’t ever go back to mention those unpleasant moments and you will be happier.
說一句好話***
說一句關懷的話
可增長大家情懷
輕輕的一句問候
可加深大家友誼
唔該多謝的一句
可倍添生活情趣
再說一句感恩話
會有種舒暢感受
Say a few good words***
If your words are caring, you will be able to develop a caring feeling for each other. A simple sentence like “How are you?” can help to build a good relationship. Frequent usage of “thank you” can create a comfortable atmosphere. Words of praise and appreciation will always make people happy.

得不償失***
有意栽花花不開
無心插柳柳成陰
世事難料莫強求
是你的始終是你
不是你的不會來
要明瞭得不償失
得時無須太興奮
失時也無須沮喪
Gain does not equal loss***
Sometimes when you intend to plant flowers, they never blossom. When you have no intention to plant willows, they form a shade above your head. No one knows what happens in the future. Don’t ask for more. If it belongs to you, it will come to you, but if it isn’t destined to be yours, no matter how hard you try, you won’t get it. We have no choice but to understand that what you gain may not necessarily equal to what you have lost. Therefore you don’t need to be overly excited when you gain something. Equally you don’t have to be too disappointed when you lose something.
冥冥中注定***
上天冥冥中注定
做人又怎可拒抗
就算有多大力量
也未必能夠勝天
既然如此莫生氣
關鍵有沒有盡力
如果己盡了全力
一切惟有聽天命
One’s life destiny is written***
Since one’s life destiny is written, there is no way you can fight against it. No matter how much energy you may have, you can never alter your destiny. Therefore there is no need to be angry about unanticipated changes in life. The key issue is that whether you have put in your best effort or not. If you do, don’t worry but let your destiny take its course.

靜坐思考***
和別人發生意見
言語上發生衝突
覺得別人有惡意
內心會耿耿於懷
事後一個人靜坐
重新思考每句話
自己有沒有不對
漸漸會心平氣和
Meditation***
After having an argument with your opposite party, it is natural for you feel that your opponent tends to attack you and do you harm. You feel uncomfortable and miserable. The best way to deal with this is to meditate. Think carefully about what is being argued and analyze whether there is anything wrong on your side. Even there is nothing you find wrong, you will still find peace and feel better.
讓事情冲淡***
無論創傷有幾深
自然感受到哀傷
讓傷感盡情流露
但不要哀傷太久
體會事情已過去
傷心也無濟於事
慢慢讓事情冲淡
輕鬆一些向前行
Let bygones be bygones***
No matter how deep your wound is, naturally you feel the pain. Let your emotions out and burst into tears if need be, but don’t let it last for too long. You have to realize that you must let bygones be bygones. It doesn’t do you any good if you continue to be sad. Time will heal the wound. Relax a little and move on with your life.

知己有幾人***
知人口面不知心
試問相識滿天下
其實知己有幾人
雖然要將心比心
防人之心不可無
逢人最好三分話
不必全抛一片心
免得日後會傷心
How many trusted friends do you have?
Don’t judge people by their appearance. Although you may know many people, how many of them are your trusted friends? Although you care for people, you still have to be careful when dealing with people. It is safer not to tell everything to everyone you know, otherwise you may get hurt in the future.
何必憤怒***
當別人駡我之時
無須要過份憤怒
如果真的駡得對
應該反省和感恩
但如果駡得不對
這只是他的立場
他駡的人不是我
何必為此而憤怒
Why get angry?
When someone criticizes you, don’t get angry. If the other party criticizes you for a good reason, then you should engage in introspection and feel grateful. If the other party criticizes you for the wrong reason, then ignore him/her. After all this is only his/her point of view. In reality, the person whom he/she is criticizing is not you. You don’t have to get angry because of this.

人情似紙薄***
職場人情似紙薄
有茶有酒有兄弟
急難何曾見一人
靠人不如靠自己
平時要勤奮向上
多讀書本增知識
知識廣辦事順利
處世待人會豁達
Difficult to find warmth in a workplace***
In a workplace, helpful people are difficult to find. Whenever there is a party, people are warm and friendly. But, when you need assistance, how many people are willing to offer a hand? You can only depend on yourself. Remember to work hard to build your own career. Try to learn from books to improve your knowledge to help you do a better job. With continued education, you can become more open-minded and can get along well with people.
口服心不服***
不要以我為中心
不用自己的威嚴
強將自己的意見
固執地強加于人
這並不是個智舉
別人口服心不服
遲早一定會反抗
結果是两敗俱傷
Giving lip-service***
Don’t be a self centered person. Don’t use your power to force people to accept your ideas. Forcing people to accept your opinion is not a smart move. Even when people say they agree with your opinions, they are in fact giving you lip-service. It is a matter of time before they will reject your ideas, and both of your will end up being hurt.
