The picture above vividly depicts a scene of a boy who dresses up as Monkey King talking with his father. What impresses us most is the simple but thought-provoking dialogue between them.
上图生动地描绘了一个打扮成孙悟空的男孩儿与父亲交谈的场景。最令我们印象深刻的是他们之间简单但发人深省的对话。
The boy says to his father in low spirits, “Dad, many of my classmates don't think it is fun to learn to act in traditional Chinese dramas.”
男孩心情低落的对父亲说：“爸爸，我的很多同学都觉得学唱戏不好玩。“
“You like it, don't you? That's what matters.” his father responds encouragingly.
“你喜欢，不是吗？这才是最重要的。“他的父亲鼓励地回答。
Obviously, what the picture intends to express is that we are supposed to realize our uniqueness and stick to what we are interested in instead of caring too much about what other people think. No one can deny the fact that paying too much attention to others’ opinions often makes us tortured by confusion, disorientation, self-doubt and emotional insecurity. In sharp contrast, if we realize that everyone was born to be unique, we are more likely to accept ourselves as we are and be confident about ourselves and our interests no matter what others say to us, which is definitely conducive to our growth and success.
显然，这张照片想要表达的是，我们应该意识到我们的独特性，坚持我们感兴趣的东西，而不是太在乎别人的想法。没有人可以否认这样一个事实，即过分关注他人的看法，往往会使我们陷入困惑、迷失方向、自我怀疑和内心不安的折磨。与之形成鲜明对比的是，如果我们认识到每个人生来都是独一无二的，那么无论别人对我们说什么，我们都能坦然接受自己，对自己和自己做的事儿充满信心，这无疑是非常有利于我们走向成功的。
Given what we have discussed above, we can safely come to a conclusion that we should build up confidence and hold fast to our interests when they are different from those of others. Otherwise, we are prone to get lost when we worry too much about others’ opinions.
鉴于我们上面所讨论的话题，我们可以得出核心论点，当我们与他人的见解不同时，我们应该建立信心并坚持我们的见解。否则，当我们过分在意别人的意见时，我们很容易迷失方向。
