there is no better school than adversity. every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. never again will i contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. because i know: gems cannot shine without polish, and i can not perfect myself without hardship.

　　now i know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. then everything depends on whether i raise my head or lower it in seeking help. whenever i am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, i will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how i can turn that adversity into good. what a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root i am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.

　　always will i seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.

　　譯文：

　　逆境是一所最好的學校。每一次失敗，每一次打擊，每一次喪失，都蘊育著勝利的萌芽，都教會我在下一次有更杰出的表示。我再也不會回避事實，也不會謝絕從以往的過錯中獲取教訓，我不再因而而促成本人的失敗。由于我曉得，寶玉不經磨礪就不能發光，不，我也不能完美自我。

　　當初我知道，靈魂倍受煎熬的時刻，也恰是性命中最多抉擇與機遇的時刻。任何事件的成敗取決于我在追求輔助時是抬開端仍是低下頭。無論何時，當我被恐怖的失敗擊倒，在最初的陣痛從前之后，我都要千方百計將苦難變成好事。巨大的機會就在這一刻閃現-這苦澀的根必將迎來滿園芳香!
