It is my right to be uncommon—if I can.

我就是我，我選擇成為最好的自己。

I seek opportunity—not security.

humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

麻木不仁地接受社會的照顧。

I want to take the calculated risk,

to dream and to build,

去夢想，去創造，

to fail and to succeed.

去失敗，去成功。

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;

我拒絕施舍，我選擇自立自強。

I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;

我寧愿選擇充滿挑戰的人生，絕不萬無一失地活著；

I will not trade my freedom for beneficence
