[New handwriting today, and it's quite beautiful. Those who read the original Chinese characters might appreciate the skill behind the expert strokes: flawless calligraphy, itself poetry of sorts, yet not slow and cautious but decisive, the writing emerging complete and without hesitation. Those who get a translation miss out on some of the finer points of the art, perhaps, but the effect is the same in every language.]

Warmest greetings to the residents of Edensphere.

This humble servant, the lowest of souls, begs leave to dwell among you and hereby be known, in lieu of a more appropriate name, by the character ‘Huo'.

Although I do not yet know my own measure, and indeed expect that it be the very image of mediocrity, it is my outmost desire to be of some use in the undertakings of the city. I will take up whatever profession is required, and toil in that capacity to the very best of my ability.

Sincerely, I offer my prayers of good neighborhood in the hope that they be accepted in the same spirit in which they were made.

That is not a way to look at yourself, Huo! There is much to do and you can chose what you want to do on your own!

You are much too kind, but I thank you nonetheless. I shall apply myself where I may, and hope for fortuitous results.

Everyone is able to do something. The difference between those that achieve and those that do not is hard work! And enthusiasm!

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Certainly, nothing can be achieved without hard work. And yet, it is proper that we do our best even at such tasks that cause us no excitement.

[spandexisyouth]

Excellent point! But here there are many options so you can also possibly find something that does cause you excitement!
