Consolidation
Remember:
We can be destroyed,
but not defeated !
The failures and reverses（倒退）( which await men and one after another sadden the brow （表情）of youth) add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian（田园式的） success would do.

尽管失败和挫折等待着人们，一次次地夺走青春的容颜，但却给人生的前景增添了一份尊严，这是任何顺利的成功都不能做到的。
Fight for yourself, like Hemingway, like Santiago.
Remember: We can be destroyed， but not defeated !
