祈禱文

"Build me a son, O Lord,who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

Build me a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will know Thee…… and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.

Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge.

Here, let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those that fail.

Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high, a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.

And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously.

Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom and the meekness of true strength.

Then, I, his father will dare to whisper, "I have not lived in vain.'"---General Douglas MacArthur

這是麥克阿瑟將軍所寫著名的"為子祈禱文"....

開始寫東西給你的時候....我一直很好奇烏龜會希望我怎麼寫....

所以一直是著用不同的角度去寫這各東西...

直到今天....在戰鬥營的牆上看到這篇祈禱文....心中就想"就是這個了!"....

我想...不管是烏龜或是麥克阿瑟將軍...他們都擁有同樣的一個共同的身分...

而這各身分..也讓他們有了類似的期望...

當然...這只是期望...不要太認真...因為我可以很可定的跟你說...烏龜的爸爸肯定是白活了...

因為烏龜自己跟上面寫的差異實在是太大了....

但是不管怎麼說...就如同那句俗話說的一樣:"天下的媽媽都是一樣的."

其實...天下的爸爸也都差不多....
