Cheerfulness and Enthusiasm
Remain cheerful,
For nothing can pierce through
The solid wall of cheerfulness.
To make the fastest progress,
Be an absolute cheerful
Hero-warrior
And take both victory and failure
As parallel experience - rivers
Leading to the sea
Of progress - delight.
Your defeats on life's battlefield
Will soon be ending,
Because your mind is no longer indifferent
To your heart's spontaneous enthusiasm.
Daring enthusiasm and abiding cheefulness
Can accomplish everything on earth
Without fail.
