【今文解译】

人有富贵我有仁德，人有爵禄我有义理：君子因此而不为高官厚禄所束缚。

人定胜天，关键在于齐心协力：君子若意志坚强，造物主对他也无可奈何。

【English Translation】

Others have riches while I cherish benevolence. Others have official titles while I value righteousness. He that is noble-minded will never be restrained by the high position and its advantages.

The feat that human efforts prevail over heaven’s will can only be achieved through the constancy of a concentrated mind. He that is strong-willed will never be constrained by the Creator. JSdpkBgmCpSWdcESMMwxytrT0N48qpaZUxdntbaH8riHvY0xmNOuOH2x7OR0Toz2
