妒忌之心旺盛
If the fire of jealousy blazes in your heart,
表示內在潛伏惡念
It means that evil thoughts are lurking in your mind.
怨恨之心旺盛
If your heart is overflowing with resentment,
表示內在充滿自卑
It means that you harbor a very strong sense of self-abasement in your mind.
居安思危,行事謹慎
Be always prepared for drastic changes in times of ease and comfort and cautious in every act,
福樂常在身邊
And you will be surrounded by blessings and happiness.
知足常樂,足無標準
Happiness follows those who are in contentment.
拿捏即在少欲
Even though there is no measurement of contentment, it consists in reducing one’s desires.
及時行樂於眼前
It is better to work diligently today
不如正勤精進於今天
Than to seize the moment to frolic.
眼前稍縱即逝
The moment fleets away instantly,
今天可以改變一生
While today may change one’s whole life.
