Over these ten years, through storms and under starlit skies, we walked forward with smiles.
  
Over these ten years, we saw radiant blossoms and thunderous applause,  
admiring glances and reverent gazes.
 We pressed on silently.
  
Time flies;
 history stretches endlessly through the continuum of time.  
We raised our heads and dashed ahead.
  
After a decade, upon turning back,  
we realized when we gazed upward at others,  
many also gazed upward at us.  

The path ahead is as iron-bound as the mighty pass;
 now we stride forward anew.  
Resetting is to stand tall and unbending.  
Sweat is to fuel passionate struggle.
  
Be unyielding in spirit.  
Be someone who inspires others and inspires oneself.
  
Past ten years: glory and excellence in harmony.
  
Future ten years: anticipation and dreams in flight.  
Ten years...
