Our deepest fear is not that
we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves,'Who am I to be brililant,
gorgeous, talented and famous?'
Actually,who are you not to be?
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same”
-- Nelson Mandela
“我們最深刻的恐懼不是我們無能.
我們最深刻的恐懼是我們的力量無邊無際.
我們自問:‘如此的才華與美貌，天賦與異稟會成為怎樣壹個人？’
但問題是，妳不能做怎樣的人？
我們生來個性張揚並賜予上帝的榮光。
在散發光芒的同時，我們無意識地也讓他人做同樣的事。”
-納爾遜曼德拉
原文：
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brililant, gorgeous, talented and famous?'
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrining so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other peopel permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Nelson Mandela
