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.

在茫茫宇宙间，每个人都只有一次生存的机会，都是一个独一无二、不可重复的存 在。正像卢梭所说的，上帝把你造出来后，就把那个属于你的特定的模子打碎了。

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.

名声、财产、知识等等是身外之物，人人都可求而得之，但没有人能够代替你感受 人生。你死之后，没有人能够代替你再活一次。如果你真正意识到了这一点，你就会明 白，活在世上，最重要的事就是活出你自己的特色和滋味来。你的人生是否有意义，衡 量的标准不是外在的成功，而是你对人生意义的独特领悟和坚守，从而使你的自我闪放 出个性的光华。
