My meaning simply is,that whatever I have tried to do in life,I have tried with all my heart to do well.That whatever I have devoted myself to,I have devoted myself to completely;that in great aims and in small,I have always been thoroughly in earnest.
我的意思很简单,无论我在生活中尝试做什么,我都全心全意地努力把它做好。无论我投身于什么事业,我都是全身心投入的;无论目标大小,我都是非常认真的。

You can never have too much sky,You can fall asleep and wake up drunk on sky,and sky can keep you safe when you are sad.here there is too much sadness and not enough sky.Butterflies too are few and so are flowers and most things that are beautiful.Still,we take what we can get and make the best of it.
你永远不能拥有太多的天空,你可以在天空中入睡,然后在天空中醒来,天空可以在你悲伤的时候给你安全感。这里悲伤太多,天空不够。蝴蝶也很少,花儿和大多数美丽的东西也很少。尽管如此,我们还是接受我们所能得到的,并充分利用它。
