The sun has just risen in the morning of another day. What can I wish this day may bring me?
Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the cost 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 (力量).
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 job to do which has real value.
I wish that this day could bring me a mind brave enough to travel 
even though there is no beautiful scenery (风景)，and I wish that this day could bring me a understanding heart.
I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the rolling (连绵不断地)hills and the endless blue sea 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 time with nothing to do.
And I look forward to a few moments of quiet, silent thinking in the morning of this day.
