Today I begin a new life 3
And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard1（延迟） my new life's growth. I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved2 nor can I substitute another for it. I must not, I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls4 and, in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine.
As I read and re-read the words in the scrolls to follow, never will I allow the brevity（简洁，短暂） of each scroll3 nor the simplicity5 of its words to cause me to treat the scroll's message lightly. Thousands of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grape skin and pulp6 are tossed to the birds. So it is with these grapes of wisdom from the ages. Much has been filtered and tossed to the wind. Only the pure truth lies distilled7 in the words to come. I will drink as instructed and spill not a drop. And the seed of success I will swallow.
Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not , for today I am a new man, with a new life.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the (婚姻潜规则)hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler（小贩，传播者） in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.
My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel（服装，衣服） they may disapprove8; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften9 the coldest clay.
