今天,我开始新的生活　Today I begin a new life. 　　今天，我天始新的生活。 　　Today I shed my old skin, which has too long suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. 　　今天，我爬出满是失败创伤的老茧。 　　Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all. 　　今天，我重新来到这个世上，我出生在葡萄园中，国内的葡萄任人享用。 　　Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard, for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me, generation upon generation. 　　今天，我要从最高最密的藤上摘下智慧的果实，这葡萄藤是好几代前的智者种下的。 　　Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me. 　 　　今天，我要品尝葡萄的美味，还要吞下每一位成功的种子，让新生命在我心里萌牙。 　 　　The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth. 　 　　我选择的道路充满机遇，也有辛酸与绝望。失败的同伴数不胜数，叠在一起，比金字塔还高。 　 　　Yet I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts, which will guide through perilous waters to shores, which only yesterday seemed but a dream. 　　然而，我不会像他们一样失败，因为我手中持有航海图，可以领我越过汹涌的大海，抵达梦中的彼岸。 　　Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. Just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure, like pain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain. Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides will seem no more than my just reward. 　　失败不再是我奋斗的代价。它和痛苦都将从我的生命中消失。失败和我，就像水火一样，互不相容。我不再像过去一样接受它们。我要在智慧的指引下，走出失败的阴影，步入富足、健康、快乐的乐园，这些都超出了我以往的梦想。 　　Time teaches all things to him who lives forever but I have not the luxury of eternity.
