Hello lovely lovely folk of Ireland

I could really use some help. I need to know how to write the following sentence in Irish:

"I will either find a way, or make one"

it's fairly urgent, and I don't know anybody that can help!

I'm hoping the igloo will show me the light as usual?

"Ceachtar gheobhaidh mé bealach nó déanfaidh mé aon." But I may be wrong.

Why you trying to act all Irish and ****? You're English. Act like it and stop trying to be someone you're not :P It's like those LOTR geeks who speak in Quenya and **** in their msn display names to try and be cool

People who do the above can never hope to succeed in the below.

do either of these work?

gheobhaidh mé slí nó déanfaidh mé ceann

or

gheobhaidh mé slí nó déanfaidh mé é
