Carl RogersWhat I am is good enough if I would only be it openly. The following was written in answer to a 15-year-old girls question, How can I prepare myself for a fulfilling life? I am me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. There are people who have some parts like me but no one adds up exactly like me. Therefore, everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone choose it. I own everything about memy body, including everything it does; my mind, including all my thoughts and ideas; my eyes, including the images of all they behold; my feelings, whatever they might beanger, joy, frustration, love, disappointment, excitement; my mouth and all the words that come out of itpolite, sweet and rough, correct or incorrect; my voice, loud and soft; all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Noteadd up：合计come out of：由...产生authentically：真正地frustration：挫折 fantasy：幻想triumph：胜利，成功 Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so dong, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests. |
