第八份礼物：尽己所能 做最好的自己

The Gift of Being the Best You Can Be

Sometimes you
think that you
need to be perfect
that you cannot
make mistakes
At these times
you put so much
pressure on yourself
I wish that you
would realize that you are
a human being-
like everyone else
capable of reaching great potential
but not capable of being perfect
So please
just do your best
and realize that this is enough
Don't compare yourself
to anyone
Be happy to be
the wonderful
unique, very special
person that you are
- Susan Polis Schutz

有时候你
觉得自己
必须尽善尽美,
绝无半点差池。
这时候你
给了自己
太多
太多压力。
我希望你
认清自己
是一介凡人
与他人无异。
你有达致伟大的潜质,
却无成就完美的能力。
请尽己所能,
同时满足于此,
别把自己
同任何人相比。
请你
为出色又特别的自己
为独一无二的自己
满心欢喜。
苏姗·波利斯·舒茨(美国当代畅销书作家)
