“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep!

across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep!”

“When you go through a hard period,
When everything seems to oppose you,
... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute,
NEVER GIVE UP!
Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!”
