　　And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 最重要的是，要有勇气追随你的内心与直觉，

　　They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. 因为它们已经知道你真正想成为什么，而其他一切都是次要的。

　　An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately. 一个人的存在应该像一条河流:开始很小，狭窄地被限制在两岸之间，热情奔放。

　　An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. 一个人的存在应该像一条河流：开始很小，狭窄地被限制在两岸之间，热情奔放地冲过巨石，越过瀑布。

　　Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly,  河流逐渐变宽，河岸后退，河水更为平静地流淌。

　　and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. 到最后，河流不知不觉地融合在海洋里，毫无痛苦地失去了自我。

　　The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death. 人到了老年，如果能够这样看待自己的生命，就不会因为怕死亡而苦恼。
