My goal is to share my wisdom and direction with the highest level of integrity to help people achieve their dreams.

Is this more like 1, 2 or 3 below:

1. My goal is to share my wisdom and direction (with the highest level of integrity to help people actieve their dreams.)

2. My goal is to share my wisdom and (direction with the highest level of integrity) to help people achieve their dreams.

3. My goal is to share ( my wisdom and direction with the highest level of integrity) to help people achieve their dreams.

Thanks.

Dear BMO,

Here is the sentence: "My goal is to share my wisdom and direction with the highest level of integrity to help people achieve their dreams."

I think it means: "My goal is to share (THIS)-- with the highest level of integrity-- (in order to) to help people achieve their dreams."
(Where "this" = "my wisdom and direction").

This sounds like a quote from some kind of movitational seminar speaker. If not, what does it come from?

All the best,
Teacher Dian

Thanks a lot. You are probably right. I took it from a Taiwanese English discussion forum (sort of like ours here). I believe the poster is a professional translator who asked help for better Chinese translations.
