【日·课】Be Yourself! 做你自己!

今天我们来背诵一段Dale Carnegie的文字,这段文字来自于How to Stop Worrying and Start Living一书,英文书名原意是:怎样停止忧虑开始生活,中译本多用这个书名:《人性的优点》。

这段文字的主旨就是:Be yourself. 做你自己。

You are something new in this world.

Be glad of it.

You have to make the most of
what nature gave you.

In the last analysis,
all art is autobiographical.

You can sing
only what you are.

You can paint
only what you are.

You must be what your experiences,
your environment,
and your heredity have made you.

For better or for worse,
you must cultivate your own little garden.

For better or for worse,
you must play your own instrument
in the orchestra of life.

在这个世界上,你是全新的。

为此而高兴吧!

善用你的天赋。

归根究底,

所有的艺术都是一种自我的体现。

你只能唱你自己、画你自己。

你的经验、环境和遗传造就了你。

不管好坏,你必须好好照看自己的小花园;

不管好坏,你必须演奏自己的生命乐章。
