"Though years have crippled my body,
Centuries could never subdue my soul.
And although you see before you a wrinkled old man,
inside I am bursting with a youthful spirit,
born the day I decided to live without a single regret.
Yes, my life has been a struggle, full of obstacles,
but during it all, I always believed, truly believed,
that with hard work, determination, and a lot of faith,
I could accomplish anything."
