I once heard the teacher say.
There is no way for each of us to determine
the time of our own birth and death.
Each of us has no way to decide whether we
are rich or poor in this life.
The only thing we can do is to make
ourselves a virtuous person.
As long as we maintain a serious attitude
when doing things, and correct our mistakes every day.
As long as we interact with everyone in a
respectful and polite manner, and continue every day.
I believe that as long as we become
virtuous people.
We can attract people from the whole world,
and all people will be happy to be our brothers.
Please think carefully about these words.

(卜商)說。
我曾經聽老師說過。
我們每個人都沒有辦法決定我們自已的出生與死亡的時間。
我們每個人都沒有辦法決定我們自已這一生是富貴還是貧窮。
我們唯一可以做的就是讓自已成為一個有德行的人。
只要我們做事的時候都保持認真的心態，並且每天改正自已的過失。
只要我們以恭敬與禮貌態度與每個人交往，並且每天持續。
我相信只要我們成為有德行的人。
我們就可以吸引整個世界的人，所有的人都會樂意成為我們的兄弟啊。
請你好好思考我說的這些話。
