My dearest daughter, today is your sixteenth birthday. Congratulations. I present you with this diary to fill the pages with your special thoughts of your wonderful life. It is a custom in my family to pass on a piece of wisdom when one reaches this age. I pass it on to you as my father passed it on to me. Amelia, courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. From now on, you'll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow youself to make the journey. I also want you to know I loved your mother very much and still think of her often. Happy Birthday, my Mia. All my love, your father.

我亲爱的女儿,今天是你16岁的生日,祝贺你。我把这本满是你奇思异想的日记本当作礼物送给你。当时机到来时,智慧之言代代相传是咱们家族的传统。我把它给你,就像当初我父亲给我那样。Amelia,勇气不是无所畏惧,而是比恐惧更为重要的判断。人不会永远勇敢,但是要时刻小心谨慎。现在,你将踏上选择成为你想成为的人还是成为你能成为的人的人生之旅。我希望你知道,我非常爱你的母亲并时常回想她的过往。生日快乐,我的宝贝。给你我全部的爱,你的父亲。
