We will walk on our feet means they will develop their own unique culture independently. We will work with our own hands illustrates that people are being responsible and practical. We will speak with our own minds further represents the idea of freedom. It reflected that America wanted to be a free country that work hard and develop its own culture. It actually meant something to the society that I am living in. Taiwan has been regarded as a “derivative” of China. It was partially true. However, like the relationship between England and America, Taiwan wanted freedom. At the beginning, Taiwanese people worked really hard to prove the world that we don't need China’s help. And, of course, we did it. Taiwan is now one of the most advanced countries in the world and has a good economy. Although Taiwan is a small country, people on this land fight for their own freedom and their cultural identity.
If I were to re-write the quote to reflect my own ideas, I would probably write:
“I will work hard, reaching for perfection
Anything that stops me, I will fight against it”
For now, I wish I had the spirit to work hard to achieve my goals. Recently, I am a little lost with my motivation. I hope to find it back soon.
