Daily Advice 每日忠言 作者: 陳中興 Author: Philip Chan goodadvicechan@yahoo.com http://good-advice-book.blogspot.com 四月二十五日 April 25, 2012 謊言 *** 做人不應該說謊 無論出發點怎樣 是惡意或者善意 無人喜歡被欺騙 當真相被拆穿時 大家都同樣難受 以其日後會尷尬 不如開始說實話 Lies *** Regardless of whether it is with a good intention or not, no one should lie to another. No one likes to be deceived. When someone points out a lie, everyone involved will feel cheated. Instead of being embarrassed, why don’t you start by telling the truth? 力不從心 *** 幫助人是種美德 但也要衡量能力 如果是力不從心 不隨便一肩擔成 要學會去說拒絕 否則事情辦不成 令別人陷於困境 會獲得別人埋怨 Incapable *** Providing a helping hand is a form of moral excellence but you should evaluate your ability to do so. If you lack of the ability to do so, don’t commit yourself to do it. You should say “No” instead; otherwise when you cannot deliver what you promise, it will become an embarrassment to you and everyone else. Not only that, you may get other people into trouble, and they will definitely blame you for that.

三笑 ***

見仁見智有三笑
微笑狂笑和苦笑
小時有吃會微笑
青年得意會狂笑
老來無伴會苦笑
除此三笑沒他笑
但狂笑可轉微笑
苦笑只有自己知

Three different kinds of smile ***

Different people may have different views on how many different kinds of smile there are in one’s life. When you are a child, you may like to open your mouth and smile. When you become a youngster, you laugh loudly. When you are old, you sometimes have a bitter smile. These are the three different kinds of smile at different stages of your life. But, a big laughter can turn back to become a sweet smile. Only a bitter smile remains inside you and only you know what is happening in your life.

憂愁 ***

問君能有幾多愁
借酒消愁愁更愁
酒入愁腸未解愁
愁根未除總會愁
萬種憂心百種愁
做人何必太憂愁
何不試放下憂愁
享樂此刻無憂愁

Sadness ***

How much sadness do you experience? How many times have you been drunk thinking that you can overcome your sadness by excessive drinking? Actually drinking doesn’t help remove your sadness. If you haven’t solved the root cause of your sadness, drinking can only make you sadder. Why do you worry and become sad? Why don’t you forget the things that make you sad and enjoy something else at this very moment?

Good Advice November 21

十一月二十一日 November 21, 2010

讚美

讚美是不費分毫
所以無須要吝嗇
有時只一句讚美
能頂得上千斤重
讚美是一門藝術
是得體說話技巧
說得好會動人心
往往有奇妙功能

Freely praise others

If they have earned it, it doesn’t cost you a dime to praise others. Why don’t you say a few words of appreciation whenever you can? Sometimes, only a few words of praise can lift up their spirit. Saying the right thing is part of an art of good communication. If you can say the word that has the right touch, you can motivate other people to perform miracles.

會活得輕鬆

處理日常的事情
可試用讚美之道
凡事如強行爭鋒
就算勝利也不長
凡事都要求完美
這樣是自尋煩惱
但凡事謙讓應付
日子會活得輕鬆


You can live a relaxing life

Try to use a few words of appreciation when doing your daily work. Don’t always fight for being the top performer. Even if you win, the victory won’t last forever if you don’t have the right attitude. Also don’t look for perfection. It only creates troubles when things aren’t perfect. Being modest and cooperative, can lead you live a relaxing life.

小放縱

天會荒而地會老
無須綁得那麼緊
偶爾也要小放縱
吃一個豐富晚餐
看一套大師名劇
聽一支古典名樂
提昇自己的情緒
讓自己活得輕鬆

Pamper yourself a bit

The sky changes everyday. So does the earth. Don’t control yourself too tightly. Once in a while, you must pamper yourself a little. Treat yourself to a fabulous meal, watch a Broadway show, or attend an opera performance. Do something to boost your morale. Relax and enjoy life.


學習煮两味

人人應該有厨藝
款式不一定要多
不防學習煮两味
只要肯大膽嘗試
採用不同的材料
煮到碟菜能入味
再加小小的裝飾
可做到人見人愛

Learn to cook

Everybody should learn cooking. You don’t need to know how to cook many dishes. A minimum of two dishes will be sufficient, as long as you are brave, and willing to try all sorts of ingredients. Mix them and cook them until the dish turns out to be delicious. Put some nice decoration around the main course and it will enhance your appetite.
