我認(rèn)為人一生就應(yīng)該盡全力做最好的自己——我想這就是我的信仰。

I don't know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some "going on." How exactly that happens I've never been able to decide. There is a future, that I'm sure of. But how, that I don't know. And I came to feel that it didn't really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it in exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do: it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were accomplishing by being here.
我不知道自己是否相信未來。我相信的是我們現(xiàn)在經(jīng)歷的一切一定有價值,因此必有某些道理,也必然預(yù)示著有些事情“將要發(fā)生”。但這些事情如何發(fā)生,我卻不能決定。一定有未來——對此我深信不疑。但它會怎樣降臨。我不知道,然而著一點(diǎn),我漸漸感到并不重要。因?yàn)闊o論未來如何,我們到時候總得面對,正如無論生活中發(fā)生了什么,我們都必須面對一樣。真正重要的是要傾盡自己的全力。也許你能力有限、貢獻(xiàn)不多,無法給予他人更多的幫助,或者無法活得那么精彩,但只要你能傾盡自己的全力,你就能完成來到人世間的使命,能體現(xiàn)人生的價值。
