A Prayer For Courage

Rabindranath Tagore

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,

But to be fearless in facing them.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,

But for the heart to conquer it.

Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield,

But to my own strength.

Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,

But hope for the patience to win my freedom.

Grant me that I may not be a coward,

feeling your mercy in my success alone,

But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.

~~ 摘自 泰戈爾《生之勇氣》~~

我不祈求從險境中得蔭蔽

但求無畏地面對它

我不哀求痛苦得止息

但求一個克復它的心志

我不期望在人生的戰場上有幫手

但求自己剛強壯膽

在焦慮中我不渴望被他人解救

但望自己有耐心去克服他

求您不讓我懦弱到

安於您恩賜而得到的成就

只讓我失敗時

見到您拉住我的手
