Motto for Seniors: Faculty-student relationship

The following Pin Yin system is rededicated to seniors or seniors-to-be who wish to learn and discover the philosophy of the Chinese language.

Lao you suo le.(Joy)
Lao you suo xue.(Learning)
Lao you suo wei.(Doing)
Yang jing xu rui.(Save the Energy)
Jiao xue xiang zhang.(Mutual Benefit)

Teaching is learning twice. Learning is happiness for intellectual pursuit i.e. the numerator above the line of a fraction. The Formula for Happiness may be detected as follows:

Happiness is Material consumption + Intellectual Pursuit + Spiritual Satisfaction + Good health as elements for the numerator over the Desire as Denominator below the line of a fraction.

Such simple formula was given for my lecture in Shanghai, 1981 but I trust that it is still applicable in 2007 and beyond...

Concur or demur? The choice is yours! Modifications are invited with my appreciation. Thanks and have a great day,everyday to be cheerful and joyful in living with meaningful endeavor to make contribution to humankind. September 3, 2007.
