計算一下每天所說

One should try to find out how many of all the words that one says each day

有幾許是利己利人

Are beneficial to oneself or others.

最喜歡發表的人

世間事,誰也無法下定論

No one can really pass the last judgment on anything in the world.

一切的「對」與「否」

Whether it is right or wrong in doing something

全都裁決於環境中的事實

All depends on the actual conditions of the ongoing matter at the moment.

在人生漫長的際遇中

In the long process of life,

往往總以為一直是失去的太多

但是,倘能平心靜氣的想一想

However, if you can calmly deliberate on all the matters you have encountered in your life,

你會發現在某些地方

You will find that in some aspects,

竟然已經得到了許多

You have already gained a lot.
