Still Thoughts
要以理來轉事，不是拿事來轉理。
We must carry out our tasks according to principles, and not let our principles be compromised by our tasks.

做事要有赤子之心、駱駝的耐力、獅子的勇猛。
When doing any task, have the innocence of a child, the endurance of a camel, and the courage of a lion.

好事、需要你、我、他共同來成就。所以，不要有你、我、他的成見。
Good actions require everyone's cooperation,so let's not cling to personal biases.

整體的美 在於個體的修養
The beauty of a group lies in the refinement of its individuals.

欣賞他人，即是莊嚴自己。
Because seeing virtue in others is in itself a virtue, in appreciating others, we in fact dignify ourselves.

世間的物質本來是為人所用，但不知足者因欠缺智慧，竟淪為「被物所用」。
Material objects were meant to be tools for us to use. Yet, lacking wisdom, we are perpetually discontent, and we thus become enslaved by material objects.

「有」則惜福 「無」則知足
When we have something, let us cherish it. When we do not, let us be content.

知足的人，心量開闊
心量開闊，對人對事就不會計較。
One who is content is immensely broadhearted.
A broadhearted person will not be
in dispute with others over any matter.

世間的海可以填平，但是小小一個嘴巴卻永遠填不滿。
The ocean can be filled, yet the tiny mouth of a human being can never be filled.

Many thanks.

擁有的人煩惱「失」，沒有的人憂慮「得」；患得患失，即成憂愁。
When we have something, we are afraid of losing it. When we don't have something, we are afraid we won't get it. The anxiety of gain and loss causes misery in our life.

人都是因為太聰明了，分別的事多，矛盾也多，才會執著想不開。
Often when a person is too smart, they will overanalyze things and contradictions appear; hence, they become anxiously entrenched.

人都因為有一個「我」作中心，才有煩惱，所以要將「我」看淡些。
Worries arise from attachment to "self".
So let go of your "self".

有些人常常起煩惱，因為別人一句無心的話，他卻有意的接受。
People often feel upset, because they take careless remarks too seriously.

如果有所付出就想有所回報，將會招來煩惱。
Giving with an expectation for return brings misery.

「貪」不但帶來痛苦，也使人墮落。
Greed not only brings misery, but also leads the way to moral ruin.

有智慧才能分辨善惡邪正；
能謙虛則能建立美滿人生。
With wisdom,
we can discern good from evil,
right from wrong;
with humility,
we will have a happy life.

爭，只能「為善競爭」、「與時日競爭」
Compete, only for good, only against time.

人要學習經得起周圍人事的磨練而心不動搖，並學習在動中保持心的寧靜。
Learn to remain undisturbed in the tumult of people and events. Remain at peace within even when busy and occupied.

有智慧的人能捨，能「捨」就能「得」，得到無限的快樂。
A wise person is able to let go. To let go is actually to receive, to receive boundless happiness.

智慧是從人與事之間磨練出來的，若逃避現實，離開人與事，便無從產生智慧。
Spiritual wisdom is cultivated in the interplay of people, objects, and events. To escape from reality, to keep away from people and events, provides no means to nurture wisdom.
