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.

March 29 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 空間"
March 29 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
A voice from a cargiver...
119. 空間 ***
人人都須要空間
照料者也不例外
就算半個鐘也好
做自己想做的事
例如閱讀篇小說
又或者寫篇散文
紀錄日常小生活
唱歌幾句都是好
119. Space ***
Everybody must have some space of their own. Caregivers are no exceptions to the rule. Take half an hour to do something on your own, for yourself. You can read an interesting article, write a piece of prose, or record some of your daily activities in your journal. Finding time to sing a little is just as good.
120. 壓力太大 ***
如果壓力是太大
影響到睡眠不足
或者情緒不穩定
感覺無助又無望
此時最適合去做
一些減壓的運動
例如瑜伽或按摩
將情緒回復安寧
120. Too much stress ***
When you have too much stress, you may end up with insufficient sleep. It can also affect your mood to the degree that your mood is unstable and it makes you feel that you are useless. At this moment, your best bet is to perform some stress relief exercises e.g. yoga or massage. Such exercises may bring back your peaceful mind.
121. 容易疲倦***
如感覺容易疲倦
每天都很容易累
這是有病的先兆
不可以不加理會
首先問一問自己
是否心情不愉快
是否壓力是太大
對症下藥才有效
121. Feeling tired easily***
If you feel tired easily and this happens daily, it is an indicator that you may be sick. Don’t ignore this situation. Ask yourself whether there is anything that bothers you; what might have caused you to become unhappy or are you having stress from being a caregiver. Once you find out the answers, take appropriate action to deal with the situation.
122. 病向淺中醫***
勸君病向淺中醫
留意飲食的習慣
多吃生果多渴水
每天要早起早睡
忙極也要做運動
遇到壓力侵擾時
運用深腹式呼吸
把精神鬆弛下來
122. Get medical help as soon as you can***
Get medical help as soon as you discover you are sick. Pay attention to your daily diet. Eat more fruits and drink more water. Get up early and retire early at night. Breathe deeply when faced with stress. Relax and keep up a good spirit.

March 28, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 求助"
March 28, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
A voice from a caregiver.
115. 求助 ***
照料者也要求助
求助並不是無能
也不是給人負荷
更不是不負責任
病人反而會希望
照料者可以休息
這樣可減輕病人
個人內心的壓力
115. Seeking assistance ***
When you feel you cannot handle the situation, you should seek assistance. Seeking assistance doesn’t mean that you are incompetent; it also doesn’t mean that you are irresponsible for being a caregiver. On the contrary, your patient will feel pleased that you seek assistance. This move, in fact, has reduced the stress on your patient.
116. 支持組 ***
照料者的支持組
是個求助好去處
大家互相來安慰
聽聽別人的經驗
學習怎樣去應付
不同的惡劣情況
徵求別人的意見
解決面臨的問題
116. Support group ***
One of the best ways to look for assistance is to join a support group. The support group is a place where people can comfort each other and you can learn from other people’s experience. You can solicit their suggestions on how to help you cope with your current situation.
117. 開心的一刻 ***
每一天臨睡之前
想想當日的瑣事
找尋開心的一刻
如給病人個輕吻
大家暢談手拖手
病人的一聲多謝
又或者一聲唔該
都可算是種樂事
117. A happy moment ***
Every night before you retire, try to look for a happy moment that happened during the day. This includes the kiss you gave to your patient, your holding hands with him/her when you talked to him/her, a word of thank you and a word of appreciation from your patient. Thinking about these moments will make you happy and help you sleep well.
118. 減壓好方法 ***
笑是減壓好良藥
最好大家齊齊笑
與病人共坐欣賞
一套滑稽好笑片
笑話連天更加好
笑到見牙唔見眼
開開心心過一天
留下美好的回憶
118. Methods of reducing stress ***
Maintaining a smile is the best medicine to relieve stress. The best method is to laugh together with your patient. Watch a comedy movie together. It is even better if you both laugh freely and have a big laugh appearing to be closing your eyes and showing your teeth. It is a good thing to have a happy day and leave behind some happy memories.

March 27 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 用智慧解難"
March 27 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
113. 用智慧解難 ***
人一生過程之中
必定有酸甜苦辣
只要領悟過中苦
是生命性靈成長
用心態解决苦難
悲苦不再是悲苦
進而去超越痛苦
跳出苦楚無憂慮
113. Use your wisdom to handle difficult times ***
In everybody’s life, there are ups and downs. As long as you are willing to accept adversity and use your wisdom to handle difficult times, the adversity you encounter need not result in a bitter experience. You may even be able to transcend your adversity and free yourselves from needless concerns.
114. 人生崎嶇路 ***
人從出生到死亡
總有做不完的事
有解不完的問題
旅程充滿崎嶇路
時刻被困難困擾
不知如何會是好
如感覺撑不下去
此時應該去求助
114. The road of life can be rugged ***
From birth to death, most people will have things that cannot be completed and problems that cannot be solved. Life journey is full of rugged roads. It isn’t easy to walk through these roads and at times you may feel you can’t move forward. In this situation, the best way to overcome an obstacle is to ask for external assistance.

March 26 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 須要有朋友"
March 26 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver
111. 須要有朋友 ***
人不可孤獨生存
此時更須要朋友
知己難尋要珍惜
得閑大家吹下水
淡茶共同話家常
有哀有歡把話說
鬱悶之時聚一聚
可解孤獨寂寞感
111. We all need friends ***
No one can live without friends. Under conditions of stress, you definitely need true friends. It isn’t easy to develop good relationships. Treasure your friends. Whenever you have time, get together with your friends. Getting updates from each other and talking about the good old days can represent a form of joyful entertainment. Whenever you feel lonely, get together with your friends. Your feeling of loneliness will disappear.
112. 傾訴心聲 ***
試問世上有幾人
能做到雪中送炭
但錦上添花的人
偏偏是滿佈天下
有苦最好自己知
就算想與人吐苦
要找個可靠的人
才可以傾訴心聲
112. Find someone to talk to ***
How many people are willing to deliver charcoal to people in winter times? But there are many people who are willing to deliver flowers to celebrate other people’s success. Be careful with whom you want to share your sorrow with. Only you, yourself, can understand what, and how you’re going through during rough times. Choose a person whom you can trust before you share your sorrow with them.

March 25, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言 之 建立新興趣"
March 25, 2012 New Book "Don't Give Up - 抗病良言"
Voice from a caregiver.
109. 建立新興趣 ***
一位癌病照料者
除了要看護病人
凡事都要看開些
最好分散注意力
試下建立新興趣
或可脫苦見天日
減輕個人的壓力
樂觀輕鬆向前行
109. Develop a new hobby ***
As a caregiver, in addition to taking care of your patient, you need to be more open-minded. Try to spend some time to develop a new interest. Diverting your energy to a new interest will help you get rid of any bitter feeling you may harbor. By doing so, you will see the light of the day. Definitely this will reduce your stress and make you become optimistic to move forward.
110. 私人空間 ***
人總要有些空間
給自己小小時間
休息小小也是好
每天抽多少時間
找個安靜的地方
合上眼睛念句經
默默祈求天保佑
保佑病者早痊癒
110. Your own time ***
Everyone should have some time for themselves. Make good use of this time. Take a rest or take care of your personal affairs. In addition, everyday take some time to find a quiet place and pray to Almighty God wishing for speedy recovery for your patient.
