Be the best of Whatever You Are
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley——but be,
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass——but be
The happiest grass by the road.
And some highway happier make.

If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass——but be
The happiest grass by the road.
And some highway happier make.
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass,
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.

It isn't by size that you win or you fail——
Be the best of whatever you are!

做最好的自己
如果你不能成為山頂上的一棵松樹，
就做山谷中的小樹——但要，
做小溪邊最好的小樹；
如果你不能成為一棵樹，就做一棵灌木吧。
如果你不能成為一棵灌木，那就做一棵小草吧——但要做
路邊最快樂的草。
讓公路也有幾分歡娛。
如果你不能成為一個大梭魚，那就做一個鱸魚吧，
但要做湖中最鮮活的鱸魚！
我們不能都當船長，我們就做船員吧，
這裡有許多事情要我們大家做，
有大事要做，也有小事要做，
你要做的任務就在身邊。
如果你不能成為一條高速公路，那就做一條小路吧，
如果你不能成為太陽，就做一顆星星；
你贏或輸不是由你的大小決定的——
只要做最好的自己！
