Voyage to the Shores of Success
Guidance for Reciting
Success covers a multitude of blunders.
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. 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. 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.

成功由大量的失误铸就。
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芽。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。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。
