Chinese Proverbs

Every once in a while our co-workers with Chinese passports will impart some words of wisdom from old Chinese proverbs. Here is one that was priceless and got a giggle from the office (not sure it was actually an old Chinese proverb, but it was good anyway.

I seem to be having a perpetual cold in Beijing. I actually will have 3 week stretches with no cold and then catch another. I am currently recovering from one, but had one sneezing fit today. Here is where the words of wisdom from an old Chinese proverb comes in:

"One sneeze means someone is missing you; two sneezes means someone is cursing you"

I asked what about the multiple sneezing fit that I just had, what does that mean? The wise response was "you have a cold."
