~~~~~~~~A wise man's reminder---

一根火柴棒價值不到一毛錢. 一棟房子價值數百萬元 ..
 The value of one single lighting match costs less than one cent; the value of a house costs several hundreds of thousands
但是一根火柴棒卻可以摧毀一棟房子. 可見微不足道的潛在破壞力, 一旦發作起來,其攻堅滅頂的力量, 無物能禦 . ⋯⋯
 However, one single match can destroy one house.  Indeed, one seems tiny but have the potential power to destroy, once it attacks, the power of damaging is impossible to defeat.
要疊一百萬張骨牌,需費時一個月, 但倒骨牌卻只消十幾秒鐘 .
Setting up one million piece of dominoes takes one month, but it only takes seconds to lay down all dominoes.
要累積成功的實業,需耗時數十載, 但要倒閉 ,卻只需一個錯誤決策.
Building up a successful business takes decades, but it only takes a mistaken decision to end the business.
要修養被尊敬的人格,需經過長時間的被信任, 但要人格破產卻只需要做錯一件事 .
Cultivating a respectful integrity takes a long time to earn people's trust, but it only takes one immoral doing to corrupt the integrity.
