10誡
Ten Road Blocks to Happiness for the Sage
取材自網路
1.不要再替成年子女操心,才不會嘮嘮叨叨。 Don't over-worry about adult children, stop the
nagging.
2.不要再將成年子女當成未成年來「監護」,以免惹人厭。 Don't regard adult children as
minors, and you won't get into conflicts.3.不必事事都「非知道不可」,尊重成年子女的隱私權、自主權。 Don't pry about everything, respect their privacy and right of decision- making.
4.不要再以兒、孫為生活重心,尋找自己的天地,才不致天天望穿秋水。 Don't
center your life around children and grandchildren. Do look for your own social
circles. This way, you won't be disappointed with too many expectations.
5.不要逢人就訴苦,寧可寫作、畫畫、運動、唱歌,以藝術、創作來昇華情緒。 Don't dump your negative emotions on
everyone you encounter. Occupy your time with hobbies such as writing, painting,
exercising and singing. Do fill your life with artistic and creative activities.
6.不要凡事抱怨,多欣賞、感謝別人為取悅你所做的努力。 Don't complain about everything. Instead, be
appreciative and grateful of what other people have done for you.
7.不要因孫輩和子女媳婿爭執衝突,這樣只會惡性循環,害了孫輩。 Don't interfere with your adult children and
their spouses’ parenting style. This will only cause adverse effect and hurt
your grandchildren.
8.不要因病痛而唉唉叫,有病要治,領了藥要服藥,治不好要忍耐。 Don't moan and groan
about pains and aches. See a doctor and take medication if necessary. Some
chronic diseases require patience.
9.不要疑神疑鬼,要感激還願意留在身邊的人,免得最後連他也走了! Don't be
skeptical and cynical. Be grateful to those around you. Do not alienate them as
well.
10要多多親近上帝,有堅定的信仰,對未來抱著開心、樂觀的態度。 Participate in religious activities often, be
firm in your belief. Keep pleasant and optimistic attitudes.
如果以上十點,每一點是十分,祝福各位聰明的老人,都能快樂幸福一百分! If each of these above items counts as ten
points, wish you all so smart and joyous to get one hundred.
