總有更漂亮的人,也總有更聰明,更強壯,更富有,更年輕的人。但是永遠不會有另外一個你。
Kurt Cobain once said: 「I』d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.」 The truth is, you will never be hated by the RIGHT people for being REAL. Being REAL… being yourself is the greatest filter you could ever use. It instantly filters out all the people that don’t belong with you. And at the same time it reveals those who do.
Kurt Cobain曾經說過:「我寧願因做自己而招人厭惡,也不願為了迎合他人而偽裝自己。」事實就是你永遠不會因為堅持做自己而被正確的人怨恨。做真實的自己就像是一個最好的過濾器,它會立即過濾掉本就不屬於你的人。與此同時,它也會留下那些與你志同道合的人。
Bob Marley once said: 「The only problem is people are being hated when they are real and loved when they are fake」… It’s true, but what is missed here is one very important fact… The people that are hating people being real are fake people… And the people that are loving fake people are the same fake people.
Bob Marley說過:「耿直的人會招來憎恨,虛偽的人才會被喜愛」。這無可厚非,但其中有一個重要的事實被忽略了:那些憎恨耿直、偏愛虛偽的人,恰恰就是那群虛偽的人。
REAL recognises REAL. REAL recognises FAKE. So who do you want to attract. FAKE people or REAL people? Be yourself, and I promise you, eventually you will attract the right people.
真實識別真實。真實鑑定虛假。那麼你想吸引哪些人呢?真實的還是虛偽的人?做真實的自己,我敢保證你會吸引到適合你的人。
Be yourself… no matter what has happened to you… no matter who has hurt you… no matter what you believe… be yourself and be kind to others. If you do that, LIFE will turn out far greater than you ever thought possible. If you don’t… life will be painful. Because living a life with a mask on… you can’t see. Living a life trying to fit in… you will never.
做你自己,不管你發生了什麼,不管誰傷害了你,不管你信仰什麼,做真實的自己並且善待他人。如果你這樣做了,生活會比你想像中的更加美好。如果你不這樣做,生活就是痛苦的。因為戴著面具生活,你完全看不到前方和未來。總想著去迎合別人,但往往適得其反。
Living a life trying to be someone else, so other people will like you… you might fit in on the outside, but inside you』ll never be complete. You』ll never be happy.
為了迎合別人而迷失了自我,這樣你或許表面上會看起來很合群,但是你會心生遺憾,你永遠不會得到真正的快樂。
