13.However hard you try, you can’t avoid being yourself.Who else could you be? You can act and pretend, but the person acting and pretending is still you. And if you won’t accept yourself—and do the best you can with what you have—who then has any obligation to accept you?
13.接纳自己
不管你怎么努力,你都无法逃避成为自己。除了自己,你还能成为谁呢?你可以扮演和假装,但进行扮演和假装的人还是你自己。如果你都无法接纳自己,没有努力挖掘自己已有的东西,那么谁有义务接纳你呢?
14. When it comes to blatant lies, there are none more egregious than budget figures.Time spent agonizing over them is time wasted. Even if (miracle of miracles!) yours are honest and accurate, no one else will have been so foolish.
14.谈到公众谎言,没有比预算数字更令人震惊的
把时间折腾在这上面,是浪费时间。既使(奇迹中的奇迹!) 你是实事求是并且准确的, 其他人也不会那么愚蠢。
