"信仰就是将自己托付给水。当你游泳时,不要抓住水,因为如果你这样做你会下沉和溺水。相反,你要放松并漂浮。"

Alan Watts

Simplified Meaning:

Believing in yourself is like learning to swim. If you panic and try to hold onto the water, you won't stay afloat and you'll struggle. Instead, the key to staying on top of the water is to stay calm and trust that your body, with just a little effort, can float. Think about someone starting their first job. If they're always second-guessing themselves and trying to control everything out of fear, they're going to feel overwhelmed and struggle with stress. But if they trust their training and abilities, stay calm, and tackle tasks one step at a time, they'll find they can handle the job and even excel. Just like floating in water, success and confidence come from trusting yourself and not fighting against your natural ability to stay afloat.
