"私たちは皆、独自性が価値があることを知っています。私たちは皆、「自分自身でいること」を教えられています。私が実際にあなたにお願いしていることは、その独自性を維持するためにどれだけのエネルギーが必要かを受け入れ、現実的であることです。世界はあなたが典型的であることを望んでいます。"
— Jeff Bezos
Simplified Meaning:
Being unique and true to yourself is something everyone sees as important. We hear people say "be yourself" a lot, but actually doing that can be very challenging. It takes a lot of effort and energy to stand out and be different because there’s a lot of pressure to fit in with everyone else. Imagine you’re in school and everyone wears the same kind of clothes, but you like to dress in a different style that shows your personality. It feels good to be yourself and show your individuality, but at the same time, you might feel tired from the effort it takes to always stand apart from the crowd. So, it’s important to recognize how much work it involves and decide if you’re ready to keep up with it.
