It is not easy to be what one really is. There is many a person in the world who can be identified as anything ---either his job, his status or his social role---that shows no trace about his individuality. It does do him justice to say that he has no identity of his own, if he doesn't know his own mind and all his things are either arranged by others or done on others' suggestions; if his life, always occupied by external things, is completely void of an inner world. You won't be able to find anything whatever, from head to heart, that truly belongs to him. He is, indeed, no more than a shadow cast by somebody else or a machine capable of doing business.
活出个性
在茫茫宇宙间，每个人都只有一次生存的机会，都是一个独一无二、不可重复的存在。正像卢梭所说的，上帝把你造出来后，就把那个属于你的特定的模子打碎了。
名声、财产、知识等等是身外之物，人人都可求而得之，但没有人能够代替你感受人生。你死之后，没有人能够代替你再活一次。如果你真正意识到了这一点，你就会明白，活在世上，最重要的事就是活出你自己的特色和滋味来。你的人生是否有意义，衡量的标准不是外在的成功，而是你对人生意义的独特领悟和坚守，从而使你的自我闪放出个性的光华。
真正成为自己不是一件容易的事。世上有许多人，你说他是什么都行，例如是一种职业，一个身份，一个角色，惟独不是他自己。如果一个人总是按别人的意见生活，没有自己的独立思索，总是为外在事务忙碌，没有自己的内心生活，那么，说他不是他自己就一点儿也没有冤枉他。因为确确实实，从他的头脑到他的心灵，你在其中已经找不到丝毫真正属于他自己的东西了，他只是别人的一个影子和事务的一架机器罢了。
In the eternal
universe, every human being has a
one-off chance to live-his existence is
unique and irretrievable. Fame, wealth and knowledge
are merely worldly possessions
that are within the reach of anybody
striving for them, But your
experience of and feelings about life
are your own and not to be shared.
No one can live
your life over again after your death. A full
awareness of this will point out to you that
the most important thing in your
existence is your distinctive
individuality or something special
of yours. What really counts is which
add luster to your
personality.
