世事順風,翻覆莫測,惟能讓人為保。讓則爭者息忿,怨者解紛。

  世事如風,變幻莫測。唯有「謙讓」為世人堅守正道不躁進,明哲保身之要道。常云 :「忍一時,風平浪靜;退一步,海陽天空。」為人謙沖自牧,自轉乾坤。古有名例 :「千里修書只為牆,讓他三尺又何妨?長城萬里今猶在,不見當年秦始皇。」故而「謙讓」可使爭者,自消忿恨之心;怨者,自化心中紛擾之念。

  The world is a smooth but unpredictable place, and one can only protect himself by yielding to others. If one yields, those who dispute with him will be relieved of anger and those who complain to him will be relieved of grievance.
