安全大抵虛幻释簿，
世間無處尋覓亚隅。
蕓蕓眾生，
無人有此經(jīng)歷庶溶。
避險難計久長煮纵，
不如現(xiàn)身搏擊。
抑或險中求勝偏螺，抑或碌碌無為行疏，人生非此即彼。
讓我們直面改變套像，
行如自由之靈酿联，
翱翔命運天際，是為不敗之力夺巩。
—海倫·凱勒《讓我們心懷信仰》

Let us have faith
Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature,
Nor do the children of men
As a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer
in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daringadventure,or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and
behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
— Helen Keller “Let Us Have Faith”
