People get truly happy and successful by trying to be themselves. Not on the outside—on the inside. It's not about a brand(品牌) or a character. It's about truth: who you really are. It sounds simple, I know. The problem is—it's very hard to do, it takes a lot of work, and it can take a lifetime to understand who you are.
Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy. If you want to do great work, it's going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And you're going to have to break out of your comfort zone(舒适区).
But you know, you can think of a better way to spend your life. I mean, what's life for if not finding yourself and trying to become the best, the truest version(版本) of you that you can be?
That's what Steve Jobs meant when he said this in a speech at Stanford University：
Your time is limited(有限的), so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. You have to trust that the points will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something—your heart, luck, life, whatever. This way has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking for. Don't settle down.
Not only that, but what Jobs was talking about and what I'm talking about require focus(专注) and hard work, two things that are very hard to come by these days. Unless you take on the challenge and start up the road to selfdiscovery, or nothing will be achieved. Whatever you might discover, all you have to do is to start the journey.
