做好人

楊社長懷康傳來鄭板橋家書一封,其中一句很有意思:

夫讀書中舉中進士作官,此是小事,第一要明理做個好人。

The above line in English: Now to be a scholar and be a college graduate or a doctor is a small thing; the important thing is to be reasonable and be a good man (林語堂譯)

Come to think of it, how many parents in HK would rather have their kids become successful at school and at work than simply be a good man ?

莫說子女,又有幾多香港人希望自己是好人多於"成功人士"﹖

深信先生是其一。
