In the eternal universe, every human being has a one-off chance to live --his existence is unique and irretrievable, for the mold with which he was made, as Rousseau said, was broken by God immediately afterwards.
茫茫宇宙之中，每个人的人生仅有一次。卢梭说过，上帝造完人之后便将模子打破。每个生命既独特，也不能挽回。
Fame, wealth and knowledge are merely worldly 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 your distinctive 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.
名望，财富，还有学识，这些只不过是身外之物，是努力就能够得着的东西。但是，生活的经历与感悟才真正属于自己，无法和他人共享。在你离开这个世界之后，没有人能过上与你一样的生活。当你完全意识到这一点的时候，你就会知道生命中最难能可贵的是拥有独特的个性，还有让自己与众不同。真正重要的，不是世俗的成功，而是对生活独到的见解，以及对生活的投入。做到这些，你的人格便能光彩溢目。
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 on others' 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.
做真正的自己很难。许多人可以通过他的工作，地位，或者社会角色来得到别人的认可。但是这些东西并不能彰显出一个人的个性，特征。如果一个人不能认清自己的内心，看清楚自己要么任人摆布要么按照别人的建议生活；如果他的内心世界完全空虚，生活完全被外界事物占据，平心论之，这样的人不能算得上是一个“人”。在他身上，从上到下，你找不到任何一丝东西是属于他的。而他，事实上，只不过是一道从别人身上，或者说从一台会做生意的机器投射出来的影子罢了。
