穷则独善其身,达则兼济天下(孟子 尽心上)
A gentleman should keep personal virtues when in distress and benifit the public when in power。
我觉得应该翻译简单点,也简单的理解: When you are rich, you should help others. If you are a poor man, just live your own life.
Troubled, improve yourself; valued, improve the world.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
properous ones should devote their energe to changing the world a better place, while people with less money keep their good personalities as well.
