To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. —Oscar Wilde
愛自己是一場畢生浪漫的開始——奧斯卡• 王爾德
Love yourself. Love the things that make you you. Your values and talents and memories.Your clothes, your nose, your woes. If you love yourself, you can jump into your life from a springboard of self-confidence. If you love yourself, you can say what you want to say, go where you want to go. The world can be a tough place, and some of the billions of people out there will try to knock you down. Don’t join them. Do things that make you proud, then take pride in what you do. And in who you are.
愛自己。熱愛一切使你成為你自己的事物。你的價值,你的才能,你的回憶。你的服飾,你的鼻子,你的悲傷。如果你愛自己,你就能從自信的跳板上躍入生活。如果你愛自己,你能暢所欲言,去想去的地方。世界是冷酷的,很多人會試圖在競爭中擊敗你。別和他們一樣。
做那些讓你自豪的事情,然后為所做的事情感到自豪,為你自身感到驕傲。
Who are you anyway? What makes you you? How are you like your siblings and neighbors and friends? How are you different? If you were your own secret admirer, what would you most admire?
那么你究竟是誰呢?是什么使你成為你自己呢?你和你的兄弟姐妹、左鄰右舍又有著怎樣的相似點呢?你是如何與眾不同?如果你暗自佩服自己,你最欣賞自己什么品質?
“My great mistake, the fault for which I can’t forgive myself,” Oscar Wilde wrote, “is that one day I ceased my obstinate pursuit of my own individuality.” Keep pursuing your individuality. Keep being yourself. Becoming yourself. It can be comforting to dress and act like everyone else. But it is grander to be different, to be unique, to be you. I’m the only me in the whole wide world.
“我最大的錯誤,我無法原諒自己的錯誤,”奧斯卡·王爾德寫道:“就是某天我停止追逐自己的個性。”追求你的個性。做你自己。成為你自己。同旁人一樣地穿衣、做事情是件容易的事情。但做與眾不同,獨特的自我,作真正的自己更加啊更偉大。廣闊世界,唯我是我。
