The sun is just rising in the morning of another day. What can I wish that this day may bring me?Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men；but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength.
I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me, and yet remain my friends；I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.
I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.
I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills, and the blue sea stretching to the horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made.
I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisure with nothing to do.
And I crave for a few moments of quiet, silent meditation in the morning of this day.

朝阳又在新的一天中冉冉升起。我期许这一天带给我什么呢？我希望带给我的不是令世界或他人更贫穷的东西，不是损害别人的东西，而是那些微小的、能触动我的东西，它们经过时，或者不断聚集力量之时不会使我停止而是让我受到触动。
我希望这一天能够带给我一些惺惺相惜的朋友，希望我们友谊长存；我也希望这一天能够给我带来一份真正有价值的工作。
我希望这一天能够带给我无畏远行的胸怀，即使旅途没有光亮的照耀；我还希望这一天能够带给我善解人意的心。

我希望这一天能够带给我幽默感，笑的力量和无事可做的片刻 悠闲。
这一天的早上，我渴望片刻安静的沉思静想。
