VII. I will focus on the positive.
我會努力保持積極向上的心態。
Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. The mind must believe it can do something before it is capable of actually doing it.
積極的思想是所有成功故事的前言。這份思想必須堅信它可以在作出實際行動之前產生一些影響。
The way to overcome negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful. Listen to your self-talk and replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Regardless of how a situation seems, focus on the next positive step forward.
克服消極思想和萎靡情緒的方法是產生與之對立的,更為強大有力的積極情緒。聆聽你內心的對話,用積極的思想替換消極的思想。不管處境如何,提前將目光聚集在積極的下一步。
VIII. I can only be me.
我只是我。
Judy Garland once said, “Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else.” Live by this statement.
朱迪·加蘭曾說過:“永遠是你自己的第一版本,而不是其他人的二流版本。”用這種姿態活著。
There is no such thing as living in someone else’s shoes. The only shoes you can occupy are your own. If you aren’t being yourself, you aren’t truly living – you’re merely existing. And ask yourself this: If you don’t like who you really are, why should I like you?
將他人的生活模式套用在自己身上是不可行的。你唯一能選擇的是適合你自己的。如果你不是你,那你便不是真正地活著—你激活是不存在的。問問你自己:如果你不像是真正的你,我為何還要學習你?
Trying to be somebody you’re not is not sexy. Be you. That’s when you’re beautiful.
試圖成為不是你的另一個人并非知性。做你自己,那才是你的美麗時刻。
