"ابن لي ابنا يا رب يكون قويا بما فيه الكفاية ليعرف متى يكون ضعيفا وشجاعا بما فيه الكفاية ليواجه نفسه عندما يكون خائفا واحدا يكون فخورا وغير قابلا للتنازل في الهزيمة النزيهة ومتواضعا ولطيفا في النصر"
— Douglas MacArthur
Simplified Meaning:
This quote is about wanting a son to have good character and the right qualities. It asks for a son who is strong but also understands his weaknesses. For example, if he makes a mistake, he should admit it instead of pretending he did nothing wrong. It also means having the courage to look at his fears and not run away from them. Imagine someone who loses a game but accepts it gracefully without blaming others, showing sportsmanship. On the other hand, if he wins, he should be humble and not brag about it. These qualities help someone to be a balanced and respectable person in life.
