9.My Creed我的信念

 My Creed

By Dean Alfange

I do not chooseto be a common man . It is my right to be uncommon , if I can . I seekopportunity , not security . I do not wish to be a kept citizen , humbled anddulled by having the state look after me . I want to take the calculated risk ;to dream and to build , to fail and to succeed , I refuse to barter incentivefor a dole . I prefer the challenge of life to the guaranteed existence ; thethrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia . I will not trade freedomfor beneficence nor my dignity for a handout . It is my heritage to think andto act for myself , to enjoy the benefit of my creations , and to face theworld boldly and say , ＂This I have done . ＂All this is what it means to be a free man .

我的信念

一个自信、自尊、自立、自强的人，一个不谄媚讨好、卑躬屈膝的人，一个不怕失败与挫折、勇于向命运挑战的人才是一个真正自由的人。

   我绝不愿成为一个平庸之辈。可能的话，我要做一个别具一格的人。我寻求的是机遇而非安稳。我不愿成为一个谦卑、被动迟钝地由国家救济施舍而活命的人。我要有计划地冒险，我要梦想，要创造，我要品尝失败和成功。我绝不为了一点施舍而放弃冒险的刺激。我宁愿接受生活的挑战而不愿苟且偷安。我宁愿体验惊心动魄的场面而不愿在乌托邦似的宁静中沉闷下去。我绝不为了利益而放弃自由，绝不为了一份嗟来之食而放弃个人尊严。我最宝贵的财富是独立自主的思考和行动，是自由我的创造和成就带来的欢乐，是我敢于面对全世界大胆地说：“这件事，我做过了。”做到这一切才意味着成为一个自由的人。
