For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers
through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
若要優美的嘴唇,要說友善的話;
若要可愛的眼睛,要看到別人的好處;
若要苗條的身材,把你的食物分給饑餓的人;
美麗的秀發,在于每天有孩子的手指穿過它;
若要優雅的姿態,要記住行人不只你一個.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find them at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that
you have two hands, one for helping yourself,
the other for helping others.
人之所以為人,是應該充滿精力、能夠自我悔改、
自我反省、自我成長,而不是抱怨他人.
如果你需要一只援助之手,
你可以在自己的任何一只手臂下找到;
隨著年齡的增長,你會發現你有兩只手,
一只用來幫助自己,另一只用來幫助別人。
