如果可以回到過去,你想和年輕的自己說什麼呢?
近日,荷蘭藝術家 Ard Gelinck 透過 Instagram 分享多張明星的過去和現在,彷彿跳脫了時間的限制,不同階段的自己卻成為了彼此間最好的「好朋友」。時間,會帶走許多人事物,也會淬煉一個人。回過頭再看當初的自己,那些解不開的習題,現在終於懂了,相信你也會有所共鳴。
#1
Ellen DeGeneres
「找尋自己,做自己。這是你的靈魂存在這世間應該做的。探索生命的意義,隨著生命的意義活著,其他的事就會既來之。」
“Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.”
— Ellen DeGeneres
#2
Lady Gaga
「重點不是在得獎,而是不放棄的精神。如果你有夢想,為此奮鬥。這是對夢想的考驗,並不在於你被拒絕多少次,或是跌倒,抑或是受到傷害。而是你勇敢地站起來,繼續大步邁進。」
“It's not about winning, but what it's about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it. If there's a discipline for passion, it's not about how many times you get rejected or fall down or beaten up. It's about how many times you stand up and are brave. And you keep going.”
— Lady Gaga
#3
Ed Sheeran
「善待所有人,永遠保持微笑,感激所有事物,因為這一切都可能在明天消失。」
“Be nice to everyone, always smile, and appreciate things because it could all be gone tomorrow.”
— Ed Sheeran
#4
Jennifer Aniston
「人生中沒有後悔,只有教訓。」
“There are no regrets in life, just lessons.”
— Jennifer Aniston
#5
Madonna
「我很堅強,我野心勃勃,而且我完全知道自己要的是什麼。如果這樣會讓我像個討人厭的婊子,那就這樣吧。」
“I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.”
— Madonna
#6
Brad Pitt
「後來,我明白一件事:女人是男人的鏡子。如果你愛她到了瘋狂的程度,她也會變得如此。」
“And then I realized one thing: the woman is the reflection of her man. If you love her to the point of madness, she will become it.”
— Brad Pitt
#7
Adele
「這世界上,你就這麼一個。所以你為什麼要看起來像其他人呢?你為什麼要和其他人留一樣的髮型呢?並且與其他人有相同的看法?」
“There’s only one of you, so why would you want to look like everyone else? Why would you want to have the same hairstyle as everyone else and have the same opinions as everybody else?”
— Adele
#8
Michelle Obama
「別看他的存款或頭銜,看他如何對待他的母親,如何評論女性,如何與孩子相處;最重要的是,他如何對待你?你應該和一個讓你全然快樂,覺得自己值得的人在一起。如果你無法百分之百確定,那我的建議是,別走入婚姻。」
“Don't look at the bankbook or the title. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn't know. And, more important, how does he treat you? You shouldn't be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if you’re in that relationship and you’re dating, then my advice is, don’t get married.”
— Michelle Obama
#9
Barack Obama
「如果你的生命唯一的目標是賺大錢,那你的志願非常貧乏。對自己的要求似乎太低了。只有當你放棄小小的成就而追尋更大的東西時,你才會發覺更大的潛能。」
“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
— Barack Obama
#10
Julia Roberts
「我不認為名氣能改變一個人。人之所以會變,是因為在收集更多關於生活的經驗和資訊時,發生了變化。」
“I don't think fame changes people. People change as they gather more experiences and information about life.”
— Julia Roberts
#11
Emma Watson
「這聽起來像是老生常談,但我也瞭解到,除非你真正愛自己,對自己的狀態感覺很好,否則你不會愛上對的人。」
“It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you're not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.”
— Emma Watson
#12
Daniel Radcliffe
「不容易適應環境的人是有內在價值的。這並不是說每個有藝術天賦的人都是社會棄兒,但肯定有不同的價值來識別自己,並為自己與眾不同而自豪。」
“There is something inherently valuable about being a misfit. It’s not to say that every person who has artistic talent was a social outcast, but there is definitely a value for identifying yourself differently and being proud that you are different.”
— Daniel Radcliffe
#13
Ariana Grande
「不要懷疑自己或浪費你的一生。人生太短了,而你太特別了。」
“Don’t ever doubt yourselves or waste a second of your life. It’s too short, and you’re too special.”
— Ariana Grande
#14
Britney Spears
「我不喜歡定義自我,因為我就是我。」
“I don't like defining myself. I just am.”
— Britney Spears
#15
Johnny Depp
「如果你同時愛上兩個人,那就選擇後者。因為如果你真的愛第一個人,你根本就不可能會愛上第二個人。」
“If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second.”
— Johnny Depp
