When the precious sword's light leaves its sheath
The poem
寶劍光芒出匣時匣中應不被塵欺貴人親手提攜起儘可防身更勿疑
In English
When the precious sword's light leaves its sheath,dust will not have dimmed it inside.With a noble person lifting it up by hand,it can guard you well, so do not doubt.
What it says
A fine sword kept in its sheath is not dulled by dust, much like real ability that stays intact when set aside for a while. The poem says that when a respected person lifts it up, it becomes useful and protective. Trust your own ability, and be willing to accept help.
A thought to take with you
Trust your abilities, and accept help from those who are willing to lift you up.
