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.

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.

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.

Daily Advice September 26, 2012 眼前的一切 Everything is in front of you
九月二十六日 September 26, 2012
眼前的一切 ***
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
好好享受已是福
Everything is in front of you ***
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. Again if today is a dull day, being dull can also be a blessing in disguise. As long as you have a good family, you should set aside everything else, and enjoy their company. Such an opportunity is already a kind of good luck.
聽天命 ***
人人都好想成功
可惜沒絕對成功
只要不驕傲自滿
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.

If you look at a distressed situation from a different angle, you may devise a different remedy. You are in control of how you want to view things.
