"当你不再做自己时,你就失败了。"
— Diane von Furstenberg
Simplified Meaning:
When you stop being who you truly are and try to be someone else, you won't succeed. Imagine a student who is very good at art but tries to be a math genius because everyone around them values math more. Even though they try hard, their heart isn't in it, and they end up being average at best in math and forget their amazing art skills. By not staying true to their own talents and interests, they don't achieve their full potential in any area. It’s like a bird trying to swim like a fish; it won't work well because that's not what it's meant to do. To be successful and happy, you need to embrace and build on your unique qualities and strengths instead of trying to mimic others. So, always remember to be authentic and follow your own path.
