助你走好人生路的成功贴士(上)

不过多纠结于政治立场

I had a discussion with a friend yesterday about censorship and how speaking a certain way simply to please others contributes to the loss of one’s true inner voice. During the discussion I watched him closely, and I could actually pinpoint the heated moment when he was about to give me a piece of his mind, but stopped himself. It was so obvious! So I called him out on it. “You just censored yourself, didn’t you?” He laughed and nodded.

昨天，我和一个朋友就“审查制度”干涉言论自由的问题进行了探讨。人们在纯粹为取悦他人而说话时，是如何丢失了真实的心声呢？在探讨的过程中，我密切地关注着他，我都能感受到他刚想袒露心声，却欲言又止的那个挣扎的时刻。如此之紧张！于是我朝他大喊道，“你刚刚就在‘审查’你自己嘞，不是吗？”他大笑着点点头。

Everyone has this little watchdog inside their head.It was born and raised by your family, friends, coworkers, bosses and society at large, and its sole purpose is to watch you and make sure you stay in line. And once you become accustomed to the watchdog’s presence, you begin to think his opinion of what’s acceptable and unacceptable are absolute truths. But the watchdog’s views are not truths, they’re just opinions – forceful opinions that have the potential to completely brainwash you of your own opinions if you aren’t careful.Remember, the watchdog is just a watchdog, he just watches. He can’t actually control you.
