“Build me a son O Lord who will be strong enough to know when he is weak and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat and humble and gentle in victory”
— Douglas MacArthur
Simplified Meaning:
The message is to ask for a son who can recognize and accept his own weaknesses, have the courage to confront his fears, stand firm and proud even when he loses honestly, and remain humble and kind when he wins.
