Over time,we can build great character,achieve great success,and cultivate great virtue.
用智慧探讨人生真义，用毅力安排人生时间。
Use wisdom to contemplate the meaning of life.Use resolve to organize the time you are given.
“前脚走，后脚放”意即：
昨天的事就让它过去，把心神专注于今天该做的事。
As we put the front foot down,we lift the back foot up. We let yesterday go,and focus on today.
未来的是妄想，过去的是杂念。
保护此时此刻的爱心，谨守自己当下的本分。
The future is illusion,the past is a memory.Protect the love of this moment.Focus on your immediate task.
生命无常，慧命永存；爱心无涯，精神常在。
Life is impermanent,wisdom is eternal;the love in our heart is boundless,and our spirit will always remain.
人生无常，人命只在呼吸间，一秒间过不了关，生命就结束了。
所以，要好好把握每一分、每一秒。
Life is impermanent.it exists in the space of a breath. Life ends when the breathing stops.We must cherish every moment.
未来的成就完全是在掌握分秒中造就出来，“未来”也是由“现在”累积而成。

A wise person must be humble and unassuming, like the rice stalk that bows under the weight of ripe grain.
唯有尊重自己的人，才能勇于缩小自己。
Only those who respect themselves have the courage to be humble.
缩小自己，要缩到对方的眼睛里，还要能嵌在对方的心头上。
To be humble is to shrink our ego until we are small enough to enter another's eyes and reside in their heart and mind.
看淡自己的是般若，看重自己的是执着。
To regard ourself lightly is prajna（wisdom）. To regard ourself highly is attachment.
不能低头的人，是因为一再回顾过去的成就。
People who are preoccupied with past achievements cannot humble themselves.
《谈忏悔》
人都是在原谅自己的那一分钟开始懈怠。
We start to slacken the minute we find excuses for ourself.

要以理来转事，不是拿事来转理。

Abide by your principles in everything you do.Never act purely to satisfy others.For rather than satisfying others,you may be in over your head.
做事要有赤子之心、骆驼的耐力、狮子的勇猛。
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、他共同来成就。
所以，不要有你、我、他的成见。
Good actions require everyone's cooperation.Let go of personal bias.
处理事情，感情要蕴藏在理智中；与人相处，则要把感情表现在理智上。

If we can reduce our desires,there is nothing really worth getting upset about.
知足之人，虽卧地上，犹为安乐。
不知足者，虽处天堂，亦不称意。
One who is content finds great happiness even sleeping on the ground. One who is discontent will never find happiness even in heaven.

人一生的行为，不管是善是恶，皆由时间所累积。
The behavior of a person during his lifetime,be if good or evil,is accumulated over time.
