謂之福
清 張潮 ( 1650~? )

有工夫讀書，謂之福；
有力量濟人，謂之福；
有學問著述，謂之福；
無是非到耳，謂之福；
有多聞、直、諒之友，謂之福。

Those Who Are Fortunate
Zhang Chao (1650 - ? , Qing Dynasty)
English translation: Zhi Yue

Those who have skills for reading, are fortunate.
Those who have power to aid others, are fortunate.
Those who have the knowledge to write, are fortunate.
Those who remain unaffected by gossip, are fortunate.
Those who have famous, honest, and forgiving friends,
      are fortunate.
