FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE Neil Simon

　　Don t listen to those who say，"It’s not done that way.” Maybe it’s not， but maybe you will. Don’t listen to those who say，"You’re taking too big a chance.” Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor，and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most importantly, don’t listen When the little voice of fear inside of your ear its ugly head and says，"They’re all smarter than you out there. They’re more talented，They’re taller， blonder， prettier， luckier and have connections……"I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you，Not to the exclusion of love，sensitivity， and cooperation with others，But with the strength of conviction That you can move others by your own efforts，And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live，The chances are you’ll be a person worthy of your own respect.

　　別聽那些人的話，"這事不能那么做。"也許是不能那么做，可是也許你就會那么做。別聽那些人的話，"你這個險冒得太大了。"米開朗琪羅可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作過畫，到今天肯定已經被抹掉了。最重要的是，當你心中恐懼的聲音，抬起它丑陋的頭說，"那邊那些人都比你聰明，他們更有才華，他們更高大、皮膚更白、更漂亮、更幸運，并且認識各種各樣的人…"你可千萬別理會。我堅信只要選擇一條你感興趣的路，不排除愛情、敏銳以及與別人的合作，而是堅定地認為，通過你自身的努力能夠感動他人，不把成功或者失敗作為你生活的標準，那么你就可能成為值得自己敬佩的人。
