侃 點(diǎn)

Please build your mental and behavioral boundaries well and don’t let others interfere with your life. It is not quibbling but going your own way and adopting non-interference attitude in life.

—You are the master of your life

建立好心理和行為邊界，不要讓別人隨意介入你的生活。這不是斤斤計(jì)較，而是便于各行其道，互不干擾。

——你是自己的主人

When Chinese people claim the kids are clever, firstly, they mean that the kids are precocious, in other words, they are cute. However, the cute kids will not go far because getting cute implies an act of dishonesty; Secondly, the kids have good yet simple memory, they are good at memorizing ancient Tang poems and circumference ratio. The significance of such simple memory work has been emphasized too much by the parents while in fact they seldom “discover” the real brilliant kids.

中國人說孩子聰明，一是早熟，也就是會(huì)抖機(jī)靈。抖機(jī)靈的孩子未必有出息，因?yàn)椴徽\實(shí)。二是簡單的記憶力，如背唐詩、圓周率等。這是體力勞動(dòng)，沒意義。真正聰明的孩子，家長們一般都發(fā)現(xiàn)不了。

What really counts in life amounts to three points, that is, a peaceful life,be grateful, and with a faithful spouse.

—That is what we have learnt in primary school. Namely, “Fine, thank you, and you?” in simple English.

——其實(shí)我們在小學(xué)就學(xué)過，按照國際說法就是：fine，thank you，and you.

Simple things may have three different outcomes: some are neglected by people due to its triviality; some are made complicated by people and eventually discarded;still others will be permanent and enduring due to its simplicity.

—The simplest, the long lasting

簡單的東西，有三個(gè)結(jié)局：一是因簡單而忽略不計(jì)；二是因簡單而故意搞的很復(fù)雜，最后被廢掉；三是因簡單而變得容易堅(jiān)持。

——最持久的，就是最簡單的
