Figure it out for yourself, my lad. You've got all that the great have had: two arms, two legs, two hands, two eyes, and a brain to use if you'd be wise. With this equipment they all began, so start for the top and say "I can".
Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, but you know—you've got all they had, when they made their start.
You can triumph and come to skill; you can be great if you only will. You're well equipped for the fight you choose you have arms and legs and brains to use. And people who have risen, great deeds to do started their lives with no more than you.
You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you'll study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, hut he lets you decide what you want to be.
The courage must come from the soul within; you must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad; you were born with all the great have had; with your equipment they all began. Get hold of yourself and say "I can."
孩子，你自己想想吧！伟人所拥有的一切，你都已具备：两只胳膊、两条腿、两只手、两只眼睛和一个头脑，都能为你所用，只要你足够聪明。伟人都是凭借这些装备开始的，所以，开始向巅峰发起进攻吧！并要对自己说：“我行。”
看看那些智者和伟人，他们从普通的盘子里取得食物：他们用的刀叉和我们的一样；系鞋的鞋带也和我们的一样。世人都认为他们勇敢且明智，可你知道——他们开始时所拥有的一切，你已经全都具备了。
你能成功，能获得技巧。只要你愿意，你就能成为伟人。你已装备完毕，准备与你选择的困难战斗吧。你可以利用自己的手脚和大脑。那些成就伟大事业的人开始生命历程时，并不比你拥有的多。
