英文原文

It is human nature to want to be liked and accepted by others. We accept the status quo for what it is, because everyone around us does. We tiptoe our way through life by doing things in order to please others. Eventually, our actions, appearances, and lives become molded by how we think other people perceive us.

人類天生就渴望被他人喜歡和接受。我們接受現(xiàn)狀，因為周圍的人也都是這樣做的。我們小心翼翼地生活，為了取悅他人而做事。最終，我們的行為、外表和生活都被我們認為他人如何看待我們所塑造。

But the truth is, what others think about us can often adversely impact the choices we make and the things we do. This desire to conform to the wishes of others can seriously conflict with our ability to lead independent and rich lives.

但事實是，他人對我們的看法經(jīng)常會對我們做出的選擇和所做的事情產(chǎn)生不利影響。這種迎合他人愿望的愿望會嚴重阻礙我們過上獨立而充實的生活的能力。

How many times have you pondered over questions like: "How are these clothes going to make me look?" "What will my colleagues think if I speak out?" "Are those people talking shit behind my back?" "If I take this job, what will my friends and family think of me?"

你多少次思考過這樣的問題：“這些衣服會讓我看起來怎么樣？”“如果我發(fā)表意見，同事們會怎么想？”“那些人是不是在背后說我壞話？”“如果我接受這份工作，我的朋友和家人會怎么看我？”

Look, people are entitled to think whatever they want, just as you are entitled to think whatever you want. What people think of you can not change who you are or what you are worth, unless you allow them to.

看，人們有權(quán)利想他們所想的，正如你也有權(quán)利想你所想的。人們對你的看法并不能改變你是誰或你的價值，除非你允許他們這樣做。

This is your life to live. At the end of the day, you are the only person who needs to approve of your own choices. Well, unless of course, if you are married. That's a whole other topic.

這是你的生活，要由你自己來過。最終，你是唯一一個需要認可自己選擇的人。當然，除非你結(jié)婚了，那就是另一個話題了。
