Education does not determine identity; competence does not determine integrity; fame does not determine virtue. No occupation is in itself great or lowly. Everything is decided by what you think and how you act. 學歷不代表身分，能力不代表人 格，名位不代表品德，工作沒有 49. See that neither the past, the future, 貴賤，觀念及行為卻能決定一切。 - Master Sheng Yen

 

See that neither the past, the future, fame, or position have anything to do with you. A happy and energetic life is itself freedom and good fortune. 過去、未來、名位、職稱，都要 看成與自己無關，但求過得積極、 活得快樂，便是幸福自在的人生。- Master Sheng Yen

 

Both favorable and unfavorable causes and conditions help us grow; treat them with equanimity and gratitude. 順逆兩種境遇都是增上因緣，要 以平常心與感恩心相待。 - Master Sheng Yen
