總讓 林鈺堂

世人相爭眼前利,就算到手又何得?
孰知那步可長遠?看穿無知總讓先

相爭煞有其事,到手究竟如何?一時勝負,轉瞬變遷。此步結局有誰知?何需爭前必據之?將來彼此皆難料,了悟未定總退讓。

Always Yield Yutang Lin

Worldlings fight with one another over profits in sight;
Even when acquired what could one truly hold for sure?
Who knows which step taken could last in the long run?
Seeing unpredictability rules one always yields to others.

Comment:

Competing as if it really matters; when acquired what would ultimately be the case? Winning or losing at one time; situations change in a blink. Who knows the consequences of this step? Why need to thrust forward to make sure of getting there? Future is unpredictable to you and me; comprehending uncertainty of results one would always yield to others.
