Define yourself
定義自己
As E.E. Cummings rightly said, "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
E.E.卡明斯有句話說得很有道理，“除了你自己，不要成為任何人，在這個竭盡全力、不分日夜想把你變成別人的世界里，這樣做意味著迎接人類最艱苦的戰斗；永不停息，戰斗到底。”
So, before the world gets the better of you and slaps a title on your forehead, create a unique manifesto of what you think you are.
因此，在這個世界把你打敗、為你冠以頭銜前，發表獨具風格的宣言，定義你心目中的自己。
And while you are at it, don't forget to celebrate the imperfections. While on a 10-day trek in the Himalayas, I learned that imperfections are beautiful too. The rough edges of the mountains, the heavy hail storms in the middle of the afternoon, were "inconvenient" but added to the beauty of the trek. I am acutely aware now that in my pursuit of perfection at work, I have often failed to recognize that imperfections are also a core part of our identity that needs to be preserved and not always changed.
盡管你會忙個不停，但是不要忘記贊美生活中不完美的地方。我在徒步攀登喜馬拉雅山的十天中了解到生活也有美好的缺陷。高山峻嶺的陡峭邊緣，午后驟降的冰雹風暴，都給人帶來種種不便，但是卻為登山旅途增添了幾分妙趣。我敏銳地感覺到，在我追求完美事業的過程中，我往往沒有認識到，不完美的地方也是我們自身的核心特質，需要保留下來，而不是經常改變。
