However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me. This isauthenticand represents where I am at that moment in time.

When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did, and how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to beunfitting. I candiscardthat which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting, and invent something new for that which I discarded.

I can see, hear, feel, think, say and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.

I own me and therefore I can engineer me.

I am me and I am okay.

Noteintimately：密切地 acquainted：有知识的 authentic：可信的

unfitting：不适当的 discard：丢弃，放弃
