　　Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to create a facade to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.

　　然而，隨著時間的推移，我們開始有機會去學(xué)習(xí)認同自己。懂得如何認同自己的人，表明對自己的真實能力有信心;他們覺得沒有必要去制造假象，讓自己給其它人留下深刻印象。他們所關(guān)心的只是自己的行為能否產(chǎn)生有價值的結(jié)果，而不在乎別人會怎么看他們。

　　Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people. When we are young, it is important to us to be accepted by a group and to be seen as "cool" by our peers. To do this, we will often adopt the views and interests of the group rather than develop our own.

　　渴望得到認同是大多數(shù)人的一個自然愿望。我們年輕的時候，能被一個團體所認同，被同輩認為很“酷”，對我們來說是很重要的。為此，我們常常要接受與團體一致的觀點和興趣，而不去發(fā)展我們自己的觀點或興趣。
