• Tsuyoku Naritai! (I Want To Become Stronger) by Eliezer Yudkowsky:

• Tsuyoku naritai is Japanese. Tsuyoku is "strong"; naru is "becoming" andvs. the form naritai is "want to become". Together it means "I want to become stronger" and it expresses a sentiment embodied more intensely in Japanese works than in any Western literature I've read. You might say it when expressing your determination to become a professional Go player — or after you lose an important match, but you haven't given up — or after you win an important match, but you're not a ninth-dan player yet — or after you've become the greatest Go player of all time, but you still think you can do better. That is tsuyoku naritai, the will to transcendence.
