我的技藝，我的頭腦，我的心靈，我的身體，若不善加利用，都將隨著時間的流逝而遲鈍，腐朽，甚至死亡。我的潛力無窮無盡，腦力、體能稍加開發，就能超過以往的任何成就。從今天開始。我就要開發潛力。
Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?
我不再因昨日的成績沾沾自喜，不再為微不足道的成績目吹自擂。我能做的比已經完成的更好。我的出生并非最后一樣奇跡，為什么自己不能再創奇跡呢？
And I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
我不是隨意來到這個世上的。我生來應為高山。而非草芥。從今往后，我要竭盡全力成為群峰之巔。將我的潛能發揮到最大限度。
I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think and now I know a great secret of life for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements, heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise. I will no longer be fooled by the garments they wear for mine eyes are open. I will look beyond the cloth and I will not be deceived.
我有雙眼，可以觀察；我有頭腦，可以思考。現在我已洞悉了一個人生中偉大的奧秘。我發現，一切問題、沮喪、悲傷，都是喬裝打扮的機遇之神。我不再被他們的外表所蒙騙，我已睜開雙眼，看破了他們的偽裝。
