“Generous and Cheerful”

Laughter softens the occasion,
Laughter brings hope,
Laughter keeps disappointment away.

When you fail, try to laugh.
Reflect on your mistakes later.
Respond to criticism and slander with laughter.
If you think you are right remain silent.
Laugh in the face of hardship and difficulty,
Think of solutions later.

Let’s start with laughter.
Laughter eases pain.
Don’t mind if others tell you laughter is a waste,
Even if they call you a fool or an idiot.
Laughter is the only medicine that prevents things from becoming too serious,
When the mind stays flexible, the way out can be seen.

There are no bad people among the generous and cheerful.
Innocent people are honest and truthful.
Happiness accompanies the generous and cheerful.

You do not laugh because you are happy,
You are happy because you laugh.
Good fortune comes to those who smile.


「天真爛漫」

笑いは場を和ませ
笑いは希望をもたらし
笑いは失望を遠ざける

失敗したら笑ってみよう
反省するのは後でいい
非難中傷には笑いで応えよう
己が正しいと思えば沈黙でいい
苦難困難には笑って構えよう
解決策を考えるのは後でいい

笑いから始めてみよう
笑いは痛みを和らげる
誤魔化しと言われようが
バカだアホだと言われようが
笑いは深刻にならない唯一の薬
心が柔軟になれば出口は見える

天真爛漫な人に悪人はいない
天真爛漫な人は素直で正直
天真爛漫な人に幸福は寄り添う

楽しいから笑うのではない
笑っているから楽しくなる
笑う門には福来たる
