They ( duty , honor , country ) teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure , but humble and gentle in success ; not to substitute words for action ; not to seek path of comfort , but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge ; to learn to stand up in the storm , but to have compassion on those who fall ; to master yourself before you seek to master others ; to have a heart that is clean , a goal that is high ; to learn to laugh , yet never forget how to weep ; to reach into the future , yet never neglect the past ; to be serious , yet never take yourself too seriously ; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness , the open mind of true wisdom , the meekness of true strength 它们（责任、荣誉、国家）教导你在真正失败时要自尊和不屈不挠，在成功时要谦和；不要以言代行；不要寻求安逸，而要迎接困难和挑战带来的压力和激励；要学会在风浪中傲然屹立，对遇难者要寄予同情；律人要先律己；要有纯洁的心灵，崇高的理想；要学会笑，但切莫忘记怎样哭；要注视未来，但切莫忘记过去；要为人持重，但切莫自命不凡；要谦虚，这样，你就会记住真正的伟大源于淳朴，真正的智慧源于虚心，真正的强大源于温顺。
