"主啊,请赐给我一个儿子,让他强大到知晓自己何时脆弱,勇敢到在恐惧时能正视自己;在诚实的失败中保持骄傲和不屈,在胜利时却谦逊和温和。"
— 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.
