如果周圍的人毫無理性地向你發難,
你仍能鎮定自若保持冷靜;
如果眾人對你心存猜忌,
你仍能自信如常並認為他們的猜忌情有可原;
如果你肯耐心等待不急不躁,
或遭人誹謗卻不以牙還牙,
或遭人憎恨卻不以惡報惡;
既不裝腔作勢,亦不氣盛趾高;
如果你有夢想,而又不為夢主宰;
如果你有神思,而又不走火入魔;
如果你坦然面對勝利和災難,
對虛渺的勝負榮辱胸懷坦蕩;
如果你能忍受有這樣的無賴,
歪曲你的口吐真言蒙騙笨漢,
或看著心血鑄就的事業崩潰,
仍能忍辱負重腳踏實地重新攀登;
如果你敢把取得的一切勝利,
為了更崇高的目標孤注一擲,
面對失去,
決心從頭再來而絕口不提自己的損失;
如果人們早已離你而去,
你仍能堅守陣地奮力前驅,
身上已一無所有,
唯存意志在高喊「頂住」;
如果你跟村夫交談而不變謙虛之態,
亦或與王侯散步而不露諂媚之顏;
如果敵友都無法對你造成傷害;
如果眾人對你信賴有加卻不過分依賴;
如果你能惜時如金利用每一分鐘不可追回的光陰;
那麼,你的修為就會如天地般博大,
並擁有了屬於自己的世界,
更重要的是:我的兒子,你成為了一名真正的男子漢!
