When the topic of honesty comes up, the general tendency is to think about our relationship with others. We understand the need to be honest with people.
一般來說，提到誠實，我們就會想到人與人之間的關係。我們都知道，誠實很重要。
If you cannot trust your neighbor to say the truth, and your neighbor can't trust you to say the truth, what sort of social life will that produce?
如果你不相信你的鄰居會說真話，你的鄰居也不相信你會說真話，你的鄰裡關係會是怎麼樣的？
If parents don't trust children, and children don't trust parents, what sort of family life will result?
如果父母不信任孩子，孩子不信任父母，這家人的家庭生活會是什麼樣的？
It is understandable then why we have to be honest with each other. Honesty with yourself beyond honesty with others.
所以說，我們要對彼此坦誠。而你對自己也要坦誠，這比對他人坦誠更重要。
However, have you ever considered that your first responsibility is to be honest with yourself? If you cannot be honest with yourself, how can you be honest with others?
然而，你有沒有考慮過，你最重要的責任，是要對自己誠實？如果無法對自己坦誠，你又如何做到對他人坦誠？
If you can't confront the reality of your own life, how will you confront the realities of the lives of others? If you cannot face the truth about yourself, how can you tell the truth to others?
如果你無法面對你生活中的種種真相，你又如何做到面對他人的生活真相？如果你自己無法面對真相，你又如何對他人說出實話？
The best you can be will be a hypocrite who can remove the speck of dust in the eyes of others without regards for the log of wood in his own eyes. Honesty with yourself is a way of life you have to master, if you want to become the person you want to be. There are four areas where you need to be honest with yourself, if you are to make progress in life.
如果你做不到，那麼，你最多也只能變成一個偽君子，容不得別人半點虛偽，卻對自己的虛偽視而不見。如果你想變成自己夢想成為的人，那麼你就要對自己誠實，這是一種生活方式，你必須掌握它。如果你想進步，那麼你要在以下四個方面對自己坦誠。
Be honest about your strengths. The first step to improvement and progress in life is critical self-assessment. If you're not honest about what you can do and can't do, you will never improve. Be honest enough to admit what your strengths are.
坦誠面對自己的優點。要想在人生中有所進取，第一步就是要客觀地評價自己。自己做得到什麼，做不到什麼，要如實面對，否則你就永遠不會進步。你要坦然承認自己的優點到底有多少。
There are two errors you need to avoid. First is to understate your strengths to reduce your responsibility. Second is to overstate your strengths to make yourself look good. It is by taking up responsibilities that are in tandem with our strengths that we grow and become better.
你需要避免兩個錯誤，第一就是低估自己的優點，以此減少自己肩負的責任；第二就是高估自己的優點，以此讓自己顯得很優秀。我們有什麼優點，就承擔與之對應的責任，這樣我們才能成長，才能變得更好。
Understating your strengths may make your life easier, but it will never help you become better. Progress in life comes when we take responsibilities as much as our strengths and we go through constant practice.
低估自己的優點，也許會讓你的人生變得更安逸，但是它永遠不會讓你進步。在人生中，只有承擔與能力相應的責任，並且不斷實踐，我們才能有進步。
However, it is important not to overstate your strengths. When you overstate your strengths, you lose the opportunity to actually improve and increase your strengths. The fake can never compare with the real. A strength you disguise to look good and learn it will never serve you in the long term, compared to a strength you actually developed.
但是，你也不要高估自己的優點，這同樣很重要。如果你高估自己的優點，那麼你就失去了提升自我的機會，無法打磨你的優點。虛偽永遠比不上真實。如果你只是假裝有某個優點，淺嘗輒止地學到了這個優點，從長遠看，這對你沒有好處。你真正擁有的優點，比這強多了。
Do you want to grow and become the best version of yourself? Be honest about your strengths. Don't overstate it, and don't understate it.
你想不想成長，想不想成為最好的自己？坦誠地面對自己的優點吧，不要高估它，也不要低估它。
Be honest about your weaknesses. This is where you need to be brutally honest with yourself. We all have weaknesses. There's a great strength in admitting our weaknesses. It provides opportunities to grow.
真實面對自己的缺點。要做到這樣，你需要面對最真實的自己，這可能會很殘酷。我們都有缺點。如果我們能承認自己的缺點，我們就能獲得巨大的力量，它會讓我們有機會成長。
However, just like your strengths, don't underestimate your weaknesses, and don't overestimate them. When you're overestimate your weaknesses, you'll become too harsh with yourself and miss many opportunities, thinking you cannot do it when you can. There's nothing more sad and backward than thinking you cannot, when you can.
然而，就像前面說到的要坦誠面對自己的優點那樣，不要低估你的缺點，也不要高估它們。如果你高估了自己的缺點，你就會對自己太苛刻，會錯過很多機會，因為你以為自己做不到，而事實上你有那個能力。自己明明有能力，卻認為自己做不到，這是最可惜的事情，它會阻止你進步。
On the other hand, when you underestimate your weaknesses, you deceive yourself and miss opportunities to turn your weaknesses into strengths. The other problem is that people who are not honest about their weaknesses tend to have problems in their social relationships. Be honest about your weaknesses.
另一方面，如果你低估了自己的缺點，你就會欺騙自己，錯過把缺點變成優點的機會。另外一個問題就是，很多不能坦然面對自己缺點的人，他們的人際關係也會出問題。所以，要正視你的缺點。
Be honest about your goals. Your goals are valid, but not all of them are valid now or in the next five years. Be honest about what you can achieve now, what you can achieve in the next five years, and in the next 20 years. It is a waste of time and strength when you seek to achieve a five-year goal in six months, or six-month goal in five years.
要真實地面對自己的目標。你的目標是合理的，但現在，或者在接下來的五年裡，它們並非全部都是合理的。你現在能做到什麼，五年內能做到什麼，接下來的二十年內能做到什麼，這些都需要你真實地面對。如果你想在六個月內實現五年的目標，或者花五年的時間去實現六個月的目標，這都會浪費你的時間和力氣。
Honesty about your capacities and priorities will help you to live an ordered life, where you can have short-term, medium-term and long-term goals.
自己有多少能力，自己認為什麼最重要，真實地面對這些，這能幫助你讓生活變得有秩序。這樣，你就能自在地規劃短期目標，中期目標，長期目標。
When you are dishonest with yourself, you become anxious and forget that life is meant to be lived in stages, and what you do in a year is not what defines your entire life. It allows you to take the long-term view, and live life step by step, like a man climbing a ladder.
如果你連對自己都不坦誠，你會變得焦慮，你會忘記，人生是分階段的，你一年內做的事情無法決定你的人生。坦誠面對自己，這能讓你把目光放長遠，一步一步地走人生之路，就像爬梯子那樣。
Honesty with others. When you have learned to be honest about your strengths, weaknesses, and goals, then you can be honest with others. You cannot give what you don't have.
對他人誠實。當你已經學會坦誠面對自己的優點、缺點、目標時，你就能夠對他人誠實了。只有對自己坦誠，才能對他人坦誠，自己沒有的東西，你也給不了別人。
