Breath of Life 

Don't let yourself be defeated
Be a winner.
Don't get lost and scared in crooked paths
In which Life often makes you walk.
 

Step firmly, as if you were walking
On fresh green grass,
With your will to win,
With your will to win Life.
 

Always seek the hope of a victorious tomorrow.
Never let yourself be dominated by an uncertain present,
Offered to you at this point in your life
For a chaotic and disbelieving world.
 

Always aim at the example of nature,
When the flowers bloom with the arrival of spring,
Winning the constant struggle against a wild nature,
Often seeming to want to succumb.
 

BE YOU, TRUST YOURSELF.
Always look up and forward.
You will find I'm sure,
The path of your searches... the path of your dreams.
