宇宙中再不会有一个人和你一样。这就是为什么做自己比什么都重要。

生活就是这样:向前迈两步,接着后退一步半,而失去权势的人努力想要逆转这个顺序。

从现状得益最多的人自然是最不希望改变的,他们与畏首畏尾者还有权威主义者结成联盟。如果你不能适应随大流,遵从一致往往有遭惩罚的风险,或是受人奚落,或是别人避之不及,甚至是受到直接攻击。

权威主义派的保守者急不可耐要压抑个性有其更为根本的`原因,那就是缺乏信任。明智的领导和杰出的思想家有两点是相似的:他们不随大流,他们对他人的本善、才智和能力发展表现出高度信任。

与之对照鲜明的是,顺从最为顽固的要素在于独裁专制。在独裁控制下,凡有悖既定思维和有违既定行为者都会受到惩处。保守派思想常告诫,过度自由会引发混沌无序、会破坏标准。

做自己是最自然的事情。也许会有代价,一些人,有些甚至是朋友,会不认可真实的你,并且告诉你,一路都会有挫折。但做自己的代价永远不会像违背你的本心代价那么大,背离自我的代价是挫败感、不满不悦、曾经可以企及的目标和愿望,如今却无望实现。

接受挑战吧。循规蹈矩没什么可以褒奖的。相信自己,相信他人。平庸无才和内心挫折才是默守陈规真正的代价。只有敢于实现梦想、心怀勇气的人才能在生命中获得源源不断的满足感。
