Like an eagle I choose to soar to the highest heights for a view unknown by the vast majority of others.
* I do not choose to be a common person.
* It is my right to be uncommon.
* I seek opportunity, not security.
* I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the government look after me.
* I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail or succeed.
* I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.
* I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.
* I will trade my honor for beneficence or my dignity for a handout.
* I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.
* It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say: 'This I have created!
我是不會(huì)選擇做一個(gè)普通人的,。如果我能夠做到的話,,我有權(quán)成為 一位不尋常的人。我尋找機(jī)會(huì),,但我不尋求安穩(wěn),我不希望在國家的照顧下成為一名有保障的國民,,那將被人瞧不起而使我感到痛苦不堪,。
我要做有意義的冒險(xiǎn),。我要夢想,我要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造,,我要失敗,,我也要成功。
我拒絕用刺激來換取施舍,;我寧愿向生活挑戰(zhàn),,而不愿過有保證的生活;寧愿要達(dá)到目的時(shí)的激動(dòng),,而不愿要烏托邦式毫無生氣的平靜,。
我不會(huì)拿我的自由與慈善作交易,也不會(huì)拿我的尊嚴(yán)去與發(fā)給乞丐的食物作交易,。我決不會(huì)在任何一位大師面前發(fā)抖,,也不會(huì)為任何恐嚇?biāo)?br> 我的天性是挺胸直立,驕傲而無所畏懼,。我勇敢地面對(duì)這個(gè)世界,,自豪地說:在上帝的幫助下,我已經(jīng)做到了,。
