人生的過程,往往都是在「錯誤」中度過,
In the course of life, people incessantly stumble into mistakes.
同時,卻也一次又一次的在後悔;
Usually, they would be regretful after making a mistake.
其中最顯著的差異是:
The most obvious differences between people are:
有的固執,有的改正,
Some of them are obstinate and keep on making mistakes,
while others have the courage to rectify their mistakes;
有的驕傲,有的虛心罷了!
Some of them are too proud to admit their mistakes,
while others are willing to admit and learn from their mistakes.
一粒微塵,一個世界;
A world can be found in a particle of fine dust.
一顆種子,一條生命;

一句言語,一件事理;
A simple sentence may reveal the principle of matters.
一絲意念,一種趣向;
A faint thought represents an intention.
整個的宇宙人生,便是這些「一」的組合。
The entire universe and human life are made of these trivial, infinitesimal things.
