取捨 林鈺堂

行不通時只得捨,競逐多端當何從?
務實莫隨表相轉,自發自覺方久長。

不通當即捨,選取依原則。踏實與長遠,智者所遵循。

Choosing Yutang Lin

When it doesn't work, couldn't help but drop it.
Facing competing choices, how to settle on one?
Do solid work and never chase after appearance.
Only self-willing and self-awakening could last.

Comment:

When it could not go through it should be abandoned. Choices are to be made according to principles. Solid approaches and long-term considerations are adhered to by prudent persons.
