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.

也應樂意去接受
Admit your mistakes and correct them
It’s a good behavior to admit your mistakes and put in your best efforts to correct them. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortable to take responsibility and action to admit and correct your mistakes.

In one’s life, it is very possible one might have made a mistake. It could be a big one or a small one. It could also be possible that one has made a mistake without knowing a mistake is made.

If there is room for improvement or you’ve made a mistake, admit it and take corrective action. This is good for you and for others too.

互相欣賞
朋友應互相欣賞
而不是互相利用
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
鬱悶之時再一聚
可解孤獨寂寞感
Mutual Appreciation
Friends should have mutual appreciation for each other instead of taking advantage of each other. 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 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.
空間
人總要有些空間
給自己小小時間
休息小小也是好
或者做些私人事
每年抽多少時間
去未到過的地方
又或者重遊故鄉
消遥自在過幾天
Your own time
Everyone should have some time of their own. Make good use of this time. Take a rest or take care of your personal affairs. Every year take some time off: either to visit a new place or to visit your home town to bring back good memories. At least take a few leisure days off.

November 14
不想答
有些問題不想答
一個簡單的方法
看著對方笑著說
你為甚麼想知道
希望對方能明白
知難而退不再問
繼而去改轉話題
大家可繼續聊天
Don’t want to answer
There may be questions that you don’t want to answer. The best way to deal with this is to look at your opponent with a smile. Then, ask him/her why he/she wants to know the answer. Hopefully he/she gets the message, changes the subject and carries on the conversation with a new subject.
總會有一天
人生總會有一天
你會開始明白到
世事非黑白分明
你自以為是對的
别人未必會認同
東奔西跑去追的
別人可能不在乎
甚至想辦法抛棄
There will be a day
A day will come when you’ll understand nothing has to be either black and white. There are times when you think you’re right; others may not agree with you. There are times you work extremely hard to achieve something; others may have exactly the opposite feelings, about what you are trying to achieve. They may already have them and are thinking of getting rid of them.
