我的跑步環島日記

2011年7月6日    跑步環島第5天    天氣：晴

『It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and come up short time and time again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement, and who at the worst at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.』  - Teddy Roosevelt

        (感謝超馬阿爸傅治平大哥於 七月四日 挑戰北橫前夕在留言版與我分享這一篇羅斯福總統的演講稿，我的英文不好，花了很長的時間並請教人家才翻的較為滿意，大意如同傅大哥所說：「有為者，不必事竟成，但絕對是勇者」，在此與所有人共勉之，其中文翻譯如下。)

『不是那些吹毛求疵的人、也不是那些指出強者為何跌倒的人，而是那些苦幹實幹的人才有可能做的更好。榮耀永遠依附在戰場上流血流汗、埋頭苦幹、屢敗屢戰的強者身上。辛苦耕耘的過程，必定經歷過挫敗，不過沒人肯定是否在為理想犧牲奉獻後，真的能嘗到甜美的果實。男子漢了解在最後功成名就的快感，也知道即使失敗了，但至少曾經勇敢的為夢想奮力向前。不問成功失敗，只求盡了全力，男子漢的身上總是熱血沸騰，看不見一絲絲怯弱的靈魂。』  (羅斯福總統)
