The Importance of Being Silly
We all, at one time or another,have pretended to be a rock star,
singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done
this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults,in
the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when | drive! | turn on
the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms
are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time,l
do this on my way to work.
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while
driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people
and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song
which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is:
stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to
look foolish.So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is
foolish!
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don't care how
educated,how thin,how beautiful,how simple,how rich, and so on...
No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?

愚蠢的重要性
我们都曾一度假装成摇滚明星。跟着我们最喜欢的歌唱
歌跳舞。当我们还是孩子的时候，我们大多数人都是在
自己的房间里做这件事的。我？我开车的时候喜欢这
样！在收音机里，找一首我也能跟着唱的歌，很快我的
手臂就在空中，我就跟着节奏走。大多数时候，我是在
上班的路上这样做的。
是的，那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服，在开车的时候或
者在红绿灯前停下。我从一些人那里得到奇怪的眼神，而其他
人却笑了。就我个人而言，我喜欢迷失在一首歌的节奏中，这
让我与你分享愚蠢的重要性！
根据字典，愚蠢一词的定义是：愚蠢，愚蠢和荒谬我知道很
多人不想看起来愚蠢。所以他们到处走都是认真的，说实
话，这是愚蠢的！
没有人是完美的，我重复一遍：没有人是完美的。我不在乎多
受教育，多瘦，多漂亮，多简单，多富有，等等。。。没有人
是完美的！为什么要假装你不是？
