贪饕以招辱,不若俭而守廉;干请以犯义,不若俭而全节;侵牟以聚怨,不若俭而养心;放肆以遂欲,不若俭而安性。
贪心不知足易招侮辱,不如节俭而守廉洁之气。求取功名而冒犯节义,不如节俭而成全节义。巧取豪夺而致积怨,不如节俭而养心性。放纵自己满足欲望,不如节俭而安定性情。
The individual can understand his own experience and gauge his own fate only by locating himself within his period, that he can know his own chances in life only by becoming aware of those of all individuals in his circumstances.
我感激生命中的每一刻、每一次经历和每一个人。
