Today I begin a new life

Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediority.

　　Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

　　Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard,for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me,generation upon generation.
