The Scroll Marked One
Today I begin a new life.
Today I shed my old skin, which has too long suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity.
Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all .
Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard, for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me, generation upon generation.
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.

今天，我开始新的生活。
今天，我爬出满是失败创伤的老茧。
今天，我重新来到这个世上，我出生在葡萄园中，国内的葡萄任人享用。

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。
失败不再是我奋斗的代价，它和痛苦都将从我的生命中消失。失败和我，就像水火一样，互不相容。我不再像过去一样接受它们。我要在智慧的指引下，走出失败的阴影，不不如富足、健康、快乐的乐园，这些都超出了我以往的梦想。
事实上，成功和失败的最大的分别，来自不同的习惯。好习惯是开启成功的钥匙，坏习惯是一扇向失败敞开的大门。因此，我首先要做的便是养成良好的习惯，全心全意的去实行。
