Qiu's Rhetoric（49）
Ma Xiaoqiu:Shenzhen Spirit-Diligence and Goodness
昨晚，公司一位刚刚入职的新员工，由于家中发生了一件不幸的事，急需几万块钱解燃眉之急，以尽孝道。当我在电话里听到他难于启齿和心急如焚的声音时，我即刻放下手中的事，凑了几万块钱通知他来取钱。当他从我手中接过钱的时候，他几乎跪下身来，以表感激。我本能地急忙说道：你别这样，赶紧起来。那一刻，我的眼眶湿润了，雪中送炭，让我的心灵得以安宁。
Last night,a newly recruited employee of the company,due to an unfortunate incident at home,urgently needed tens of thousands of RMB Yuan to relieve his urgency and dedicate himself to filial piety.When I heard him on the phone,he was hard to say and rushed voice,I immediately put down what was in my hands and collected tens of thousands of Yuan and asked him to come to take the money.When he took the money from me,he almost crouched down to express his gratitude.I spontaneously hurriedly said:Don't do this,hurry up.At that moment,my eyes were moist,and I lost in thinking to offer coal in snowy weather to solve the urgent needs of others,letting my mind be at peace.
一个小小的善举，让我想起《道德经》中＂居善地，心善渊；与善仁，言善信＂这句话。深圳是一个蓬勃发展的现代化城市，无论你来自何方，这片土地都能给予你生长和发展的机会。但在此，任何一个有追求的人都需要勤奋，都需要在你追我赶中拼搏奋进。我曾一度感到来到深圳，就像踩上一条火线，你只有不停地向前奔跑，才不至于被脚下的火线烫伤双脚。
A small charity reminds me of the words in Tao De Ching:"In dwelling,he loves the earth;in mind,he loves what is profound;With others,he loves kindness;in words,he loves sincerity”.Shenzhen is a booming and modern city.No matter where you come from,this land can give you opportunities for growth and development.But here,any person with ambition needs to be diligent.All need to fight and forge ahead as you chase me.I once felt that when I came to Shenzhen,it was like stepping on a hot line.You only have to keep running forward so that your feet will not be burnt by the line of fire under your feet.
不知道为什么，此刻，我脑海里忽然响起了一阵急促的敲打木鱼的声音。为什么出家的修行人要敲打木鱼呢？因为魚在水中除了昼夜不停地游动之外，它的双眼从来到这个世上，就不曾合目。这就是修行人为什么要敲打木魚的原因，昼夜不寐，天道酬勤。
Do not know why,at this moment,my mind suddenly sounded a sudden sound of knocking wooden fish.Why would a monk knock on a wooden fish?Because the fish swims in the water,day and night,its eyes never come to close since it comes to the world.This is why the practitioners must beat the wooden fish.They stay up late day and night,and heaven rewards.
懒惰不但是人生贫穷的根，也是身体百病的源。富贵须养德，健康须勤奋。至今我仍然清楚地记得，十二年前，我刚到深圳时，在大街的广告牌上看到的两句话：一句＂时间就是金钱，效率就是生命＂；另一句＂送人玫瑰，手有余香＂。这两句话就是深圳这座现代化城市的真正含义——勤奋而善良。
Laziness is not only the root of poverty in life,but also the source of all diseases.Wealth requires virtue,and health requires diligence.So far I still clearly remember that when I first arrived in Shenzhen 12 years ago,I saw two words on the billboard on the street:“Time is money,efficiency is life”;another sentence:“Give roses to other,fragrance left on your hands."These two sentences are the real meaning of this modern city in Shenzhen-diligent and kind.
勤奋，乃有为之方法，它能给你带来财富，而善良则是无为之举。“送人玫瑰，手有余香”是自然之道，我们不贪求余香，更不要贪求回报，这就是为什么当年梁武帝佛心天子，广造佛寺，修整经书，勤劝众人出家，而达摩祖师却说他毫无功德。因为梁武帝的所作所为，皆有贪得回报的心念，所以，这就是后来梁武帝并非善终的原因所在。
Diligence is a way to success.It can bring wealth to you;and kindness is an act of inaction."Give roses to other,fragrance left on your hands"that is to say:helping others makes a one happier.This is the natural way.We do not seek aftertaste,let alone reward.This is why Liang Wudi,the Emperor with the Buddha's mind,built a lot of Buddhist temples,repaired the scriptures,and often advised everyone to become a monk,but Dharma Patriarch said that he had no merit.Because of what Liang Wudi did,there was a greedy,rewarding mind.Therefore,this was the reason why Liang Wudi had not a good end.
