【赫临译笔】让个性大放异彩 - 心云驛站

在永恒的宇宙中，每个人都只能活一次，他的存在是独一无二的，不可以重复，因为正如卢梭所说，上帝在创造完每一个人后，立刻就把这个模子给毁了。

名誉，财富，知识，只是身外之物，人人都可因努力而获得。但对生活的体验和感悟却是属于自己的，不可以共同分享。人死后，没有人能够重活一次。充分意识到这一点会使你明白，人生在世真正重要的是要活出自己独特的个性，即自己与众不同的风采。真正有价值的不是世俗的成功，而是对生活意义的独特的洞察力以及对生活的投入，这将使你的个性大放异彩。

成为真正的自己并不容易。世上有许多人可以通过许多方法识别他，比如他的工作，地位或是他的社会角色，但丝毫也没有他个性的痕迹。如果他没有自己的思想，所有的事情都由别人安排或按别人的建议去做，如果他总是俗务缠身，完全缺乏内心世界的话，说他没有活出自我是公道的。因为从头脑到灵魂，你找不到一点属于他自己的东西。事实上，他只不是别人投下的一个影子，是一台能够做事的机器而已。

In the eternal universe, every human beinghas a one-off chance to live --his existence is unique and irretrievable, forthe mold with which he was made, as Rousseau said, was broken by God immediately afterwards.

Fame, wealth and knowledge are merelyworldly 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 yourdistinctive individuality or something special of yours. What really counts is not your worldly success but your peculiar insight into the meaning of life and your commitment to it, which add luster to your personality.

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 onothers' 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.
