Don’t wait for a smile to be nice...

静等微笑来，　才肯显慈悲？

Don’t wait to be loved, to love.

曾被爱包围，才会爱不悔？


Don’t wait to be lonely, to recognize the value of a friend.

尝过孤寂味，才知友珍贵？

Don’t wait for the best job, to begin to work.

工作悦心意，　才肯不后退？


Don’t wait to have a lot, to share a bit.

腰缠十万贯，才会舍残杯？

Don’t wait for the fall, to remember the advice. 身经失败苦，才知箴言美？


Don’t wait for pain, to believe in prayer1.

悲伤又痛楚，才肯祷神威？

Don’t wait to have time, to be able to serve.

闲极观蝴蝶，才会助一推？


Don’t wait for anybody else pain, to ask for apologies...

难道伤害后，才知歉意垂？

... neither separation to make it up.

分道又扬镳，才肯情转回？


Don’t wait...

请勿呆停滞，人生如逝水。

Because you don’t know how long it will take.

一切未可知，或许缘已颓。


Remember: Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.

请君牢记取，友谊如酒美。

酿造越久远，越让人沉醉。
