If you're doing something because you're imagining what people will think when they see you doing it,
如果你做某件事的原因僅僅是因為,你會想象旁人看到你做這件事的時候作何反響
you're not doing it for the right reason.
那么,你的動機并不正確
It's the things you do,
你所做的事情,
even though you might get made fun of by those you fear seeing you do it,
——盡管你可能害怕別人看到你做這件事,害怕他們會因此嘲笑你——
that define your true passions.
界定了你內心真正的渴望
Pursue the things that scare you
去追求那些讓你感到敬畏的事情吧
even though you might "embarrass" yourself.
盡管你可能在人前感到尷尬
The embarrassment isn't real.
這種尷尬的感覺會很快消失
The people you feel "embarrassed" by are scared too.
讓你感到“尷尬”的人也會因你所追求的事業(yè)而惶恐
I was and sometimes am one of them.
我曾經是,現(xiàn)在有時也是,這些人中的一員
The hesitancy to pursue these things are what you'll regret.
如果在追求這些目標的時候踟躕不前,日后一定會后悔
Do what makes you happy and I'll try to do the same.
做那些讓你感到快樂的事情吧!我也會這樣做!
