孝顺的人,福报非常大。
A dutiful person has a great fortune.
我们每一个人,都有老去的一天。
Each of us will grow old one day.
如果我们对自己的父母和长辈不孝顺,然后又指望自己老了之后,有人孝顺自己,这未免是太高看自己,甚至说是可笑。
If we are not filial to our parents and elders, and then expect someone to be filial to us when we are old, it is too high and even ridiculous.
一个家庭最好的教育是以身作则,言传身教。
The best education for a family is to lead by example.
我们做人怎样,我们的子孙后代往往也会被我们所影响。
How we behave, our descendants will often be affected by us.
我们对父母及长辈孝顺,那么我们的子女也会对我们孝顺。
If we are filial to our parents and elders, our children will also be filial to us.
反之,如果我们不孝顺,等我们老了,也没有人会孝顺我们。
On the contrary, if we are not filial, when we are old, no one will be filial to us.
这是一脉相承的。
This is in one continuous line.
当有一天,一个家庭能够让孝顺成为良好的家风传递下去,那么这个家庭必然会越来越兴旺发达。
When one day, a family can make filial piety become a good family style to pass on, then the family will surely become more and more prosperous.
能够做好孝顺的人,他的家庭,必然也会越来越幸福温馨,会越过越有福气。
The person who can do a good job of filial piety and his family will surely become more and more happy and warm.
其实,这何尝不是一种因果呢。
In fact, this is not a cause and effect.
