給聰明年長者幸福十誡
"Ten taboos to happiness " for the intelligent aged persons
一、不要再替成年子女操心,才不會碎碎唸。
Don't be concerned about adult children any more,
otherwise, cannot stop the annoying chatters.
二、不要再將成年子女當成未成年來「監護」,以免顧人怨。
Don't regard the adult children as of under age and serve
as a guardian for them, so to avoid incurring complaints.
三、不必事事都「非知道不可」,尊重已成年子女的隱私權、自主權。
No necessary to know everything, pay respect to the
privacy and the right of decision-making of adult children.
四、不要再以兒孫為生活重心,尋找自己的園地,才不致天天望穿秋水。
Don't regard children and grandchildren as a center of life,
look for personal social circles, so to avoid trapping yourself
in the dilemma of anxious expectation and disappointment
daily.
五、不要逢人就訴苦,寧可寫作、畫畫、練功、唱歌,以藝術、創作昇華情
緒。
Raise a habit of writing, painting, exercising, singing to
sublime your mood by arts and creation rather than complain
to people coming across.
六、不要凡事抱怨,多欣賞、感謝別人為取悅你所做的努力。
More admiration, less complaints and appreciate what
other people have Done for pleasing you.
七、不要因孫輩和子女媳婿爭執衝突,這樣只會惡性循環,害了你的孫
輩。
Don't involve in the dispute between grandchildren and
adult children, this act just causes adverse effects in a bad
circle and hurt your grandchildren.
八、不要因病痛而唉唉叫,有病要治病,領了藥要服藥,治不好的要忍
耐。
Don't cry over sickness, just go to see a doctor and take
the necessary medicalpills as prescribed, and be patient
if failed to cure.
九、不要疑心病太重,要感激還願意留在你身邊的人,免得最後連他也走
了!
Don't be skeptical to others too much, be grateful to the
person who left around you, otherwise, he will go away from
you too eventually.
十、要多多培養宗教情操,有堅定的信仰,對未來抱著開心、樂觀的態
度。
Participate in religious activities often, be stick to belief and
take pleasant,optimistic attitudes toward the future.
