   I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard 1 my new life's growth. I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved 2 nor can I substitute another for it. I must not , I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls 4 and, in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine.


  As I read and re-read the words in the scrolls to follow, never will I allow the brevity of each scroll 3 nor the simplicity 5 of its words to cause me to treat the scroll's message lightly. Thousands of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grapeskin and pulp 6 are tossed to the birds. So it is with these grapes of wisdom from the ages. Much has been filtered and tossed to the wind.Only the pure truth lies distilled 7 in the words to come. I will drink as instructed and spill not a drop. And the seed of success I will swallow.
  Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not , for today I am a new man, with a new life.
