1.A Smile
A smile shows you are wise.
A smile shows you are happy.
A smile is the language of honesty.
A smile is the flower of life.


星云大师：
微笑是智慧的泉源，
微笑是愉快的流露；
微笑是诚恳的语言，
微笑是生命的花朵。

2.Life
Life’s dignity lies in an everlasting memory,
Not in a brief moment of glory.
Life’s meaning lies in setting a role model for future generations,
Not in the length of life.

When life is challenging, you have to face it.
When life is difficult, you have to experience it.
When life is easy, you have to plan it.
When life is pleasant, you have to enjoy it.

星云大师：
生命的尊严不在于它的绚丽，
而在于它为后人所带来的怀念；
生命的意义不在于它的长久，
而在于它为后人所带来的典范。

生活艰难时，要面对它；
生活辛苦时，要体验它；
生活清闲时，要计划它；
生活满足时，要享受它。

3. How We Live It
Spring is not about season, but a state of mind.
Life is not about the body, but the mind.
Old age is not measured by years, but the mindset.
Life is not about how long we live, but how we live it.



星云大师：
春天，不是季节，而是内心。
生命，不是肉体，而是心性；
老人，不是年龄，而是心境；
人生，不是岁月，而是永恒。

4. Three Acts of Goodness
Learn to speak loving words, perform good deeds, and have good intentions.
This is the way to spread the seeds of three acts of goodness.

Learn to be benevolent, moral, and grateful.
This is the way to uphold the spirit of righteousness and morality.

星云大师：
我们要学习说爱语、做善事、存好心，
散播‘三好’的种子；
我们要学习讲仁义、讲道义、讲恩义，
发扬‘三义’的气节。

5. Silence Keeps the World Comfortable
Tender music keeps life harmonious.
Birdsong in the forest keeps nature wonderful.
Natural fragrance makes the environment pleasureable.
Silence keeps the world comfortable.

星云大师：
柔美的音乐，使生活和谐；
森林的鸟鸣，使自然悠远；
清雅的馨香，使环境怡然；
无声的沉寂，使世界安适。

6. Stepping Back
Stepping back is to jump further.
Crouching back is to spring higher.
Taking a rest is to continue the journey further.
Having a retreat is to cultivate in depth.

星云大师：
退后，是为了跳得更远；
压缩，是为了弹得更高；
休息，是为了走得更长；
韬光，是为了学得更博。

7. The Smiles of Grandparents
The smiles of grandparents are like the sun for the grandchildren.
The voices of children are like the music for the parents.
The kind words of a wife are like the breeze for the husband.
The arms of a husband are like the refuge for the family.

星云大师：
公婆的微笑，是子孙的太阳；
儿女的声音，是父母的音乐；
妻子的爱语，是丈夫的和风；
丈夫的臂膀，是全家的依靠。



8.CTYE
Children are the hope of the family.
Teenagers are the future leaders of the country.
The youth are the future elite of the world.
The elderly are the role models for the society.

Children should praise life and be grateful.
The youth should value self realisation
