Be the best of Whatever You Are
          by Douglas Malloch
If you can‘t be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley—but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can‘t be a tree.

If you can‘t be a bush,be a bitt of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can‘t be a muskie then just be a bass—
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can‘t all be captains,we‘ve got to be crew,
There‘s something for all of us here;
There‘s big work to do,and there‘s lesser to do,
And the task you mast do is the near.

If you can‘t be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can‘t be the sun be a star;
It isn‘t by size that you win or fail—
Be the best of thatever you are!

假如你不是山颠之松,
那就做山谷矮树
在小溪边完善自我;
假如你不是大树,
那就做一丛灌木。
假如你不是灌木,
那就加入芳草的行列
使漫漫长道充满欢乐;
加入你不是大梭鱼,
做鲈鱼也未尝不可
尽情遨游在美丽的湖泊。

我们不能都做船长,
水手必须有人来当,
天生我才必有用
天下有伟业,世上有几多事,
千里之行,始于足下。
假如你不是宽阔的坦途,
那就做崎岖小径;
假如你不是白天的太阳,
那就做夜晚的星星;
胜负不由大小定,
做最好的你就是成功。
