Courage

I do not ask to walk the smooth paths
Nor bear an easy load.
I pray for strength and fortitude
To climb the rock-strewn road.

Give me such courage and I can scale
The hardest peaks alone,
And transform every stumbling block
Into a stepping stone.

         我不求一帆风顺，
         亦不忍赤膊上阵。
       我叩首以得百炼成钢，百折不挠，
        有心登道阻且长之长峰。

         赐我以无所畏惧。
        攀人世之巅，成孤胆英雄。
       将艰难险阻化作身后坦途。
