Your own inner truth.
你的真實自我。
Why worry about what others think of you? Should you have more confidence in their opinions than you do your own?
干嘛擔心別人怎么看你?與其相信別人的眼光,不如相信自己的判定!
Truth be told, how others see you is not nearly as important as how you see yourself. To be happy means to live confidently in your own skin –to be faithful to that which exists within you. What you're doing by being yourself is you're keeping it real, and you're being really brave。
說實話,別人怎么看你根本就不重要。要想活得開心,首先要對自己有信心——完全相信自己的潛力。勇敢做你自己!
When you choose to stay true to you, some people might refuse to accept you for who you are.
有時當你做真實的自己時,會遭到別人的冷眼。
Forget them. Rather than being fake and incurring the pain and confusion of trying to be someone you're not, choose to stand strong, even at the risk of incurring ridicule.
去他們的吧!與其困惑而痛苦地假裝他人,倒不如堅強活出自我,哪怕受人挖苦諷刺。
When you are comfortable in your skin, not everyone in this world will like you, and that's perfectly OK. You could be the ripest, juiciest apple in the world, and there's going to be at least a few people out there who hate apples。
不是所有人都喜歡真實的你,但那又怎樣!或許你是世上最紅最甜的蘋果,但要是有人本來就討厭蘋果呢?
