Here let him learn to stand up in the storm ; here let him learn compassion for those who fail . 4、?????????Build me a son whose heart will be clear , whose goal will be high ; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men ; one who will reach into the future , yet never forget the past . 5、?????????And after all these things are his , add , I pray enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious , yet never takt himself too seriously . Give him humility , so that he may always rememder the simplicity of true greatness , the open mind of true wisdom , and the meekness of true strength . Then I , his father , will dare to whisper , ＂I have not lived in vain .＂ 麦帅为子祈祷词 道格拉斯 Douglas MacArthur 道格拉斯.麦克阿瑟(1880 － 1964），美国五星上将。1903年毕业于西点军校，其总成绩是25年中学员所取得的最高成绩。1917年参加第一次世界大战，是远东部队中最引人注目，最勇敢无畏的军官之一，也是授勋最多的军官之一。1924－1927年，再西点军校任校长，为建设美国现代化军队作出了重要贡献。1935年被任命为驻菲律宾美军司令。第二次世界大战期间，麦克阿瑟指挥盟军西南太平洋地区战争。二战结束后，麦克阿瑟以盟军最高司令官名义，执行美国单独占领日本的任务。朝鲜战争期间，他力图将战争扩大到中国，与杜鲁门总统发生争执，被解除总司令一职，于1951年回到美国。晚年他作为一个战争英雄为美国人民所崇敬。1962年，麦克阿瑟再西点军校接受表彰——为国服务优秀的西尔韦纳斯啡 主啊，恳请为我培养这样一个儿子：使他强于自知他软弱之处；恐惧时勇于正视自己；诚实受挫时自豪不屈；胜利中谦逊温情。 恳请为我培养一个不以愿望代替行动的儿子。使他能够感知您的至圣。使他了解自知自明是一切知识的基石。 恳请不要把他引入贪图安逸、舒适的歧途而使他能够在困难及挑战的压力和督促之下奋勇前进。 在此请让他学会在暴风雨中屹立不屈，同时请让他学会对受到挫折的人给予理解和同情。 恳请为我培养一个心地清明、目标高远的儿子，使他成为一个能以责人之心责己的人，一个前事不忘后事的之
