The above is originated from common Chinese expressions and it is rendered into practical English of the Chinese style with your understanding. Translations are always inexact like the field of Economics. Read the original Chinese and read the English to find the common ground for the contents in a nutshell. A smile is OK but lots of laugh would prolong your life to gain longevity.
