Life without mask on face

There will always be someone prettier. There will always be someone smarter, stronger, richer, younger. But there will never be another you. 

总有更漂亮的人，也总有更聪明，更强壮，更富有，更年轻的人。但是永远不会有另外一个你。 

Kurt Cobain once said: “I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.” The truth is, you will never be hated by the RIGHT people for being REAL. Being REAL… being yourself is the greatest filter you could ever use. It instantly filters out all the people that don’t belong with you. And at the same time it reveals those who do. 

Kurt Cobain曾经说过：“我宁愿因做自己而招人厌恶，也不愿为了迎合他人而伪装自己。”事实就是你永远不会因为坚持做自己而被正确的人怨恨。做真实的自己就像是一个最好的过滤器，它会立即过滤掉本就不属于你的人。与此同时，它也会留下那些与你志同道合的人。 

Bob Marley once said: “The only problem is people are being hated when they are real and loved when they are fake”… It’s true, but what is missed here is one very important fact… The people that are hating people being real are fake people… And the people that are loving fake people are the same fake people. 

Bob Marley说过：“耿直的人会招来憎恨，虚伪的人才会被喜爱”。这无可厚非，但其中有一个重要的事实被忽略了：那些憎恨耿直、偏爱虚伪的人，恰恰就是那群虚伪的人。

REAL recognises REAL. REAL recognises FAKE. So who do you want to attract. FAKE people or REAL people? Be yourself, and I promise you, eventually you will attract the right people. 

真实识别真实。真实鉴定虚假。那么你想吸引哪些人呢？真实的还是虚伪的人？做真实的自己，我敢保证你会吸引到适合你的人。 

Be yourself… no matter what has happened to you… no matter who has hurt you… no matter what you believe… be yourself and be kind to others. If you do that, LIFE will turn out far greater than you ever thought possible. If you don’t… life will be painful. Because living a life with a mask on… you can’t see. Living a life trying to fit in… you will never. 

做你自己，不管你发生了什么，不管谁伤害了你，不管你信仰什么，做真实的自己并且善待他人。如果你这样做了，生活会比你想象中的更加美好。如果你不这样做，生活就是痛苦的。因为戴着面具生活，你完全看不到前方和未来。总想着去迎合别人，但往往适得其反。 

Living a life trying to be someone else, so other people will like you… you might fit in on the outside, but inside you’ll never be complete. You’ll never be happy. 

为了迎合别人而迷失了自我，这样你或许表面上会看起来很合群，但是你会心生遗憾，你永远不会得到真正的快乐。
