Every One Is Number One Poem by Han Min Ohn

My path isn’t the one you need to follow
My difficulties you can’t completely understand and swallow
Every one has their own unique ability to overcome things
And success to their lives they can bring

My tears are not the ones you shed
My hurt I think you can’t completely catch
Under the same sky we all live together
Trying to catch different glories that can make us prouder

I don’t need words that will make me complacent
I will only move forward and try my best
I will tell myself that I am born as a useful one
And a useful person I will finally become

Every one is number one in this world
As long as we don’t question our abilities at all
And try with certainty for our goals throughout our lives
Without waiting for some saviour and make our own fight

Every one is number one in this world
The secret of success lies in whether we believe in ourselves or not
With relentless effort and resolute mind as our weapons
All of us can become the world’s number one.


(In hour of Andy Lau (Liu~ de~ hua~) who sang the song ‘Every one is number one’ which is a 2008 Beijing Para-Olympic theme song.)
