You will be what you will to be;
   Let failure find its false content
   In that poor word “environment,”
But spirit scorns it, and is free.
It masters time, it conquers space,
   It cowes that boastful trickster Chance,
   And bids the tyrant Circumstance
Uncrown and fill a servant’s place.
The human Will, that force unseen,
   The offspring of a deathless Soul,
   Can hew the way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.
Be not impatient in delay,
   But wait as one who understands;
   When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.
The river seeking for the sea
   Confronts the dam and precipice,
   Yet knows it cannot fail or miss;
You will be what you will to be.

你会成为你想成为的人
让失败自生自灭吧
借着那个可怜的借口“环境”
但是精神不败，精神自由。
它控制时间，它占领空间
它吓退夸夸其谈的骗子，和所谓的机遇
它命令命运之暴君
它夺去它的王冠，把它变成仆人。

而人的意志，那看不见的力量
是不死的灵魂的产物
能在花岗岩砌成的墙壁中
劈出一条通往所有目标的路
不要因为延误而心生不耐
你知道唯有耐心等待
当精神奋起，主导一切
诸神也将俯首膜拜
