It's quiet. It's early.
萬籟寂靜，一切還早。

The sky is still black. The world is still asleep.
天空仍漆黑一片，整個世界還在沉睡。

In a few moments the day will arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun. The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day. The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race.
再過幾分鐘，白晝即將來臨。它將與初升的太陽一起帶我們進入新的一天。黎明的寂靜將會被喧鬧的白晝取代。而獨處的寧靜也會被人們急促的步伐而代替。

The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.
清晨的避難所也因一切要做的決定和一切要完成的任務而受到干擾。

For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day's demands. It is now that I must make a choice. I'm free to choose, and so I choose...
在未來的12個小時里，我將會有所作為。就是現在，我必須作出抉擇。我可以自由抉擇，因此我選擇……

I choose love...
No occasion justifies hatred;
No injustice warrants bitterness.
I choose joy...
I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker.
I choose peace ...
I will live forgiven.
I will forgive so that I may live.
I choose patience ...
I will overlook the inconveniences of the world.
Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments,
I will face them with joy and courage.
I choose gentleness...
Nothing is won by force.
I choose to be gentle.
Love, joy, peace, patience and gentleness,
to these I commit my day.
我選擇愛……
我們沒有理由去仇恨；
也沒有理由去從惡。
我選擇歡樂……
我要拒絕憤世嫉俗的生活態度，這其實是一種懶人哲學。
我選擇和平……
我要去釋懷。
因為有了釋懷，我會活得更充實。
我選擇耐心……
我將遠眺這世界的無奈。
不是緊握拳頭痛苦地對待新的挑戰，
而是用歡樂和勇氣應付困難。
我選擇溫和……
武力并不能帶來最終的勝利。
我選擇溫和的作風。
愛，歡樂，和平，耐心和溫和，我將用它們來充實我的一天。
