People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors - their looks or status - in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this appearance, but they will do very little, to develop their inner value and personal growth. So be yourself. Don't engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. When it's tough, do it tough. In other words, face reality and be adult in your responses to life's challenges. Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others. Integrity means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not giving in to the seductive sirens of easy morality, will always win the day. It will take you forward into the 21st century without having to check your tacks in a rearview mirror. My grandparents taught me that.
那些缺乏真正内涵的人依赖外部因素—他们的外表或地位—,以使自己感觉良好。他们必然会尽其所能保持这个样子,但他们不会在提升自己的内在价值和个人成长方面。 所以做你自己。 不要掩饰那些在生活中不尽人意的方面。在你艰难的时候,你要变得强硬。换句话说,面对现实,要成熟地应对生活的挑战。自尊和问心无愧是诚实最重要的组成部分,是加深你与他人关系的基础。诚实意味着去做你认为对的而不只是时尚或政治正确。 不屈服于简单道德标准诱惑的生活原则将会永远立于不败之地。它将在二十一世纪成为你前进的明灯不需要你通过后视镜检验自己的行动方针。 这些是我的爷爷奶奶教我的。
