香港首富李嘉誠的經商哲學

未學經商，先學做人。

Before learning business, learn how to be a good person.

要別人買你的東西，不想被推掉就必須在事前想到應付的辦法。

If you want others to buy from you and avoid rejection, you must anticipate solutions in advance.

我們希望有個新局面，一方面得到中央支持，一方面香港能夠自力更生，紮紮實實發揮香港人的力量。

We hope for a new beginning, with both central support and Hong Kong's ability to be self-reliant, solidly showcasing the strength of Hong Kong's people.

在逆境的時候，你要問自己是否有足夠的條件。當我自己逆境的時候，我認為我夠！因為我勤奮、節儉、有毅力，我肯求知及肯建立一個信譽。

In times of adversity, you need to ask yourself if you have what it takes. When I face adversity, I believe I do, because I am diligent, frugal, persistent, eager to learn, and committed to building a reputation.

做生意一定要同打球一樣，若第一桿打得不好的話，在打第二桿時，心更要保持鎮定及有計劃，這並不是表示這個會輸。就好比是做生意一樣，有高有低，身處逆境時，你先要鎮定考慮如何應付。

Doing business is like playing golf : if your first shot doesn't go well, stay calm and plan your second. This doesn't mean you've lost. Business also has its highs and lows; in adversity, stay calm and think of your next step.

我表面謙虛，其實很驕傲，別人天天保持現狀，而自己老想著一直爬上去，所以當我做生意時，就警惕自己，若我繼續有這個驕傲的心，遲早有一天是會碰壁的。

I may appear humble, but I'm actually quite proud. While others stay content, I keep thinking of climbing higher. So in business, I remind myself: if I let my pride continue unchecked, I will eventually hit a wall.

不為五斗米折腰的人，在哪裡都有。你千萬別傷害別人的尊嚴，尊嚴是非常脆弱的，經不起任何的傷害。

There are always people who won't compromise their dignity for money. Never harm another's dignity ; it's fragile and can't withstand any damage.

如果取得別人的信任，你就必須做出承諾，一經承諾之後，便要負責到底，即使中途有困難，也要堅守諾言。

If you gain someone's trust, you must make a promise, and once a promise is made, be fully accountable. Even if obstacles arise, keep your word.

絕不同意為了成功而不擇手段，刻薄成家，理無久享。

I firmly disagree with using unscrupulous means to achieve success. Building a family with cruelty has no long-term benefit.

人，第一要有志，第二要有識，第三要有恆，有志則斷不甘為下流。

A person should first have ambition, second have knowledge, and third have persistence. With ambition, one will never settle for mediocrity.

凡事都留個餘地，因為人是人，人不是神，不免有錯處，可以原諒人的地方，就原諒人。

Always leave room for others because people are human, not gods, and are bound to make mistakes. Forgive when you can.
