英语美文：Walk your own path

If there is any advice I would universally give to every person, regardless of who they are, it is this: walk your own path. Walk your own damn path.

如果要我给每个人一个建议，无论是对谁，我都会说：走你自己的路。

Don't walk someone else's path. Don't walk the path your parents predestined for you just because you feel emotionally indebted to them. Don't walk a path that appears to be yours, but is actually society's fabricated ideal of who you 'should' be. 

不要走别人的路。不要因为你觉得对父母有亏欠，就走他们预先给你设定好的路。不要走那条看似是你“应该”走的路，实际上，它是社会给你施加的期望，它只会让你成为你“应该”成为的人。

Don't walk a path just because you fell into it and it's "good enough." Don't walk a path that you feel a sense of enslaved duty towards because it's what you "need to be" doing according to dominant sociocultural standards.

不要因为你刚好走上了一条路，而且它“挺好的”，就一直走下去。不要因为你感觉被某种注定的使命而奴役，就走上某条路，它是这个社会的主流文化和价值观的缩影，它仅仅是在定义你“应该”做什么。
