The South African National Anthem
by Overtone
The test last day, I haven’t passed it. T.T
One of my friends (also a international student) haven’t passed it too, and she cried immediately, I understand that, I know how is that feels like, because we really put our heard in it, worked hard and did our best.
But, life goes on, and there is a saying, all road lead to Rome. For my dream, I'm still working hard on it.
This afternoon, I watched a film called
This film tells a true story about South Africa 1995 Rugby World Cup and the President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. It cheers me up. In the film, there is a poem been mention, it’s Invictus by William Ernest Henley.
Here, I’d like to share it to you.
And I really recommend you to watch this movie.
Invictus
William Ernest Henley
1849–1903
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
