做好自己,保持松弛感
Be True to Yourself and Maintain a Sense of Relaxation
在生活的舞台上,我们每个人都是主角,却又时常在他人的目光与期待中迷失了自我。我们急于追赶,急于证明,仿佛一旦停下脚步,就会被世界所遗弃。然而,当我们在这匆忙的旅途中疲惫不堪时,是否曾想过,做好自己,保持那份难得的松弛感,才是生活的真谛。
On the stage of life, each of us is the protagonist, yet often we lose ourselves in the gaze and expectations of others. We are eager to catch up and prove ourselves, as if stopping for a moment would mean being abandoned by the world. However, when we are exhausted from this hurried journey, have we ever considered that being true to ourselves and maintaining that rare sense of relaxation is the essence of life?
想起小时候,邻家的阿婆总是坐在门口的竹椅上,眯着眼,晒着太阳,手中的针线活儿不紧不慢地进行着。那时候的我,不明白阿婆为何能如此悠然自得,而自己却总是在为了考试成绩、为了得到老师的表扬而焦虑不安。如今想来,阿婆是懂得做好自己的,她不与他人攀比,不被外界的喧嚣所扰,只是按照自己的节奏,过着平凡而又满足的日子。
I remember when I was young, the old lady next door always sat on a bamboo chair at the door, squinting, basking in the sun, and her needlework was going on at a leisurely pace. At that time, I didn’t understand why the old lady could be so carefree while I was always anxious about my exam results and getting praised by teachers. Now I think about it, the old lady knew how to be true to herself. She didn’t compare herself with others, wasn’t disturbed by the noise of the outside world, but just lived an ordinary and satisfied life at her own pace.
就如同那随风摇曳的蒲公英,它从不刻意去追求生长的方向,只是凭借着风的力量,自由地飘洒,最终在合适的地方落地生根。我们又何尝不该如此呢?不必去强求那些不属于自己的东西,不必为了迎合他人而改变自己的初心。做好自己,就是要了解自己的喜好,明白自己的追求,然后坚定地走下去。
Just like the dandelion swaying in the wind, it never deliberately pursues the direction of growth, but relies on the power of the wind, freely floating, and finally takes root in the right place. Shouldn’t we do the same? We don’t have to force things that don’t belong to us, and we don’t have to cater to others and change our original aspirations. Being true to oneself means understanding one’s own likes, understanding one’s own pursuits, and then going forward firmly.
曾经,我为了融入一个所谓的“优秀圈子”,拼命地改变自己。我学着他们的说话方式,模仿他们的兴趣爱好,却在这个过程中,渐渐失去了真实的自我,变得越来越迷茫。直到有一天,我看到了镜子中那个陌生的自己,才突然意识到,这样的迎合并没有给我带来真正的快乐和满足。
Once, in order to fit into a so-called “excellent circle,” I desperately changed myself. I learned their way of speaking, imitated their interests, but in the process, I gradually lost my true self and became more and more confused. Until one day, when I saw the unfamiliar self in the mirror, I suddenly realized that such catering did not bring me true happiness and satisfaction.
从那以后,我开始重新审视自己,寻找那些曾经被我遗忘的梦想和热爱。我喜欢阅读,那就让自己沉浸在书的海洋中;我热爱写作,那就用文字去抒发内心的情感。当我不再关注他人的眼光,而是专注于自身的成长时,我发现生活变得轻松而美好。
Since then, I have started to re-examine myself and look for those dreams and passions that I once forgot. I like reading, so let myself immerse in the ocean of books; I love writing, so express my inner emotions with words. When I no longer care about the eyes of others, but focus on my own growth, I find that life becomes relaxed and beautiful.
保持松弛感,并非是对生活的懈怠,而是一种智慧的生活态度。它让我们在面对困难和挫折时,不慌不乱,从容应对。好比在一场马拉松比赛中,一开始就全力冲刺的人,往往难以坚持到最后;而那些懂得调整节奏,保持松弛的人,却能在漫长的赛程中稳定发挥,最终抵达终点。
Maintaining a sense of relaxation is not a slackening of life, but a wise attitude towards life. It allows us to face difficulties and setbacks calmly and calmly. Just like in a marathon, those who sprint at the beginning are often unable to persist until the end; while those who know how to adjust their rhythm and maintain relaxation can perform stably in the long race and finally reach the finish line.
生活中的我们,总是容易被各种压力和焦虑所束缚,忘记了给自己留出一些喘息的空间。我们在工作中拼命加班,在人际关系中小心翼翼,却忽略了内心的需求。其实,适时地放慢脚步,欣赏一下沿途的风景,给自己泡一杯热茶,读一本喜欢的书,或者与家人朋友共度一个悠闲的下午,这些看似微不足道的事情,却能让我们的心灵得到滋养,让我们重新找回生活的乐趣。
We in life are always easily bound by various pressures and anxieties, forgetting to leave some breathing space for ourselves. We work overtime in our work, are cautious in interpersonal relationships, but ignore the needs of the heart. In fact, slowing down in time, appreciating the scenery along the way, making a cup of hot tea for yourself, reading a favorite book, or spending a leisurely afternoon with family and friends, these seemingly insignificant things can nourish our souls and allow us to regain the joy of life.
在这个纷繁复杂的世界里,让我们做好自己,保持那份珍贵的松弛感。就像那山间的小溪,不紧不慢地流淌,却总能汇聚成一片宁静的湖泊;就像那夜空中的繁星,不与明月争辉,却依然闪烁着属于自己的光芒。愿我们都能以一颗平和的心,拥抱生活的美好,书写属于自己的精彩篇章。
In this complex world, let us be true to ourselves and maintain that precious sense of relaxation. Like the stream in the mountains, it flows slowly but always converges into a tranquil lake; like the stars in the night sky, they do not compete with the bright moon, but still twinkle with their own light. May we all embrace the beauty of life with a peaceful heart and write our own wonderful chapters.
