“Keeping my pecker up “ 是什么意思？

今天看书学到了不少好表达
keeping my pecker up 提起精神、不悲伤（俚语）
Struck a bad patch 经过一个时期的厄运
Refuses to be pushed down by the wheel of circumstance 不肯被环境屈服
Putting a bold and cheerful front on life 对于人生表示勇气而快乐

很同意这句话
Few things in this world that are got without efforts are worth anything at all.
有价值的东西通常努力了才能得到。

At 9:30 a.m. ET Wednesday, Mehmet Oz did something that used to be de rigueur: He called John Fetterman to concede the Pennsylvania Senate race.
And then he released a statement saying, in part: “We are facing big problems as a country and we need everyone to put down their partisan swords and focus on getting the job done. With bold leadership that brings people together, we can create real change.”
Which is gracious. And kind. And the sort of thing that was once an accepted part of campaigns – especially losing ones.
Oz’s decision to formally concede, call his opponent and release a statement urging cooperation after a hard-fought campaign stands out in today’s Republican Party. Which is a real pity.

You gotta be，你必须，
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold，
你必须变得厉害 你必须变得大胆，
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard，
你必须变得聪明 你必须变得冷酷，
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger，
你必须变得坚韧 你必须变得强壮，
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm，
你必须变得出色 你必须变得沉着，
You gotta stay together，
你必须全神贯注，
All I know, all I know, love will save the day，
我只知道 爱会拯救这一切。
