名人經(jīng)典:
And really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything becasue I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. And ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. I don't live in fear. I'm free. I have no secrets. And I know I'll always be OK, because no matter what, I know who I am.
當我回首這些往事的時候,我一點也不會改變。因為我發(fā)現(xiàn),即使失去一切,最重要的是做真正的自己。最終,我來到了這里。我不再恐懼,我感覺很自在,也不再有秘密,而且我知道一切都會好的,因為無論如何,我知道我是誰。
