对别人不要计较，

对自己要好好检讨。

Not fussy towards others.

Reflective on own actions always.

如果影响不了别人，就做自己该做的事。

If you cannot influence others, just do what should be done.

平时对别人好，不是功夫；发生事情平时对别人好，不是功夫；发生事情还能对别人好，才是真工夫。还能对别人好，才是真工夫。

Being nice to others under normal circumstances is not unusual. Being nice to

others at difficult times is truly great.

在逆流中要有毅力， 不要随波逐流旋转而去。

Be persevered against the tide. Do not be swept away by the current.
