Wolves rarely make a sound during the day or when hunting, but they like to hold their heads high and howl at the sky at night. Many zoologists have studied the howl of wolves, but they are not sure about the meaning of this howl. Perhaps it is a feeling of loneliness in life, perhaps it is to show one's existence by howling, or perhaps it is just a kind of affectionate singing-an artistic act.
In wolves, each wolf has its own unique voice, which is different from that of all other members of the group. However, when the wolf howls affectionately, it becomes the most perfect whole. Although wolves have a strict hierarchy and are the most integrated species, this does not hinder the development and display of their personalities. Even the most powerful wolves have no right to ask other wolves to imitate their own voices and howls, and they have no right to ask other wolves to imitate their own behavior.
Among wolves, every wolf should respect the howling of other wolves, because it is the consistent style of wolves to respect the true colors of individuals.
Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, no two people in this world are exactly the same. Each of us is unique in this world. There have never been people like us before, and there will never be again. Genetics tells us that a person is composed of 24 pairs of chromosomes of father and mother, and these 48 pairs of chromosomes determine the genetic genes of this person. There are hundreds of genes in each pair of chromosomes, and any gene is enough to change a person's life. In fact, the formation of human life is an awesome mystery.
Even if our parents met and fell in love and gave birth to us, there is only a 1/300 trillion chance that there will be someone just like us. In other words, even if you have 300 trillion brothers, they may be different from ourselves. Is this a guess? Of course not. This is a completely scientific fact.
Each of us is brand-new and unique. If we want to be independent and develop our own characteristics, we must rely on ourselves. But that doesn't mean we have to be different. We have to wear strange clothes or behave strangely. In fact, as long as you keep your true colors, don't follow the trend, and don't follow the trend, you will become yourself.
Regarding the question of keeping yourself true, Dr. James Gordon Kierkey pointed out: "This is a problem for all mankind. Many mental, neurological and psychological problems are often caused by their inability to maintain themselves. " Angelo Patrick has written 13 books and published thousands of articles on children's training in newspapers. He once said, "The worst thing for a person is that he can't be himself and keep himself in mind and body."
What does it mean for a person to give up his true colors? It is to imitate others and follow others' ass, thus mistaking others' characteristics for what they should pursue and gradually losing themselves. Giving up oneself and imitating others is a big taboo for those who achieve great things.
However, this phenomenon of imitating others is still quite serious in Hollywood. Sam wood, a famous Hollywood director, once said: What bothers him most is how to help young actors keep themselves. Each of them wants to be a second-rate Lana Thales or a third-rate clark gable. "The audience has tasted that taste," sam wood kept telling them. "The audience needs something new now."
Sam wood worked in real estate for many years before directing business cards such as Farewell to Mr Hip and Bells in the Battlefield, so he cultivated his personality as a salesman. He believes that some rules of the business world are also fully applicable to the film industry. Imitating others completely is sure to accomplish nothing. "Experience tells me," sam wood said, "that it is safest to try not to use actors who imitate others."
Be yourself! This is also the advice of American composer irving berlin to later composer george gershwin. When Berlin and Gershwin first met, their reputation was excellent, but Gershwin was just an unknown young composer. Berlin appreciated Gershwin's talent and hired him as a music secretary at three times the salary he could earn. But Berlin also advised Gershwin: "Don't accept this job. If you accept it, you can only become Owen Berlin's second at most. If you can persist, one day, you will become a first-class Gershwin. "
Gershwin accepted the suggestion and eventually became a contemporary American composer.
When mary mark Bullard first went on the radio, she tried to imitate an Irish star, but she didn't succeed. It was not until she was a country girl from Missouri that she became the most popular radio star in new york.
Before becoming famous, Jerry Ottley, an American country singer, tried to get rid of his Texan accent, dressed like a city dweller and claimed that he was from new york just to attract people's smiles. Later, he began to pick up the lyre and sing country songs, which established his position as the most popular cowboy in movies and radio.
Because all art is self-expression. Then, we can only sing ourselves, draw ourselves and be ourselves, no matter how good or bad.
Emerson said in his essay "Confidence":
One day, you will understand that jealousy is useless, and imitating others is tantamount to suicide. Because for better or worse, people can only help themselves, and only by cultivating their own fields can they harvest their own corn. The power God has given you is unique. Only when you work hard and use it yourself will you know what this ability is.
Another poet, douglas malloch, put it this way:
If you can't be a tall pine tree on the top of the mountain,
Think of it as a bush in the valley!
But to be the best shrub by the stream,
If you can't be a towering tree,
Then make a jungle!
If you can't be a bush,
Why not be a grass and bring a little life to the road?
If you can't be a moose,
It's not bad to be a small fish,
But if it is the liveliest in the lake!
We can't all be captains, someone has to be a crew member,
But everyone should do their job well.
Whether it's big or small,
We must finish our work.
If you can't build a road, why not build a narrow one?
If you can't be the sun, why not be a star!
Success has nothing to do with size—
Just to see if you tried your best.
