How to be a friend of yourself

blacksnow

6. Always be true to yourself
诚实待己
You don't like other people lying to you, right? Similarly, you won't like yourself if you know that you lie to yourself. Whether you realize it or not, that gives your mind a reason not to like yourself. That’s why it's important to always be true to yourself. In whatever you do, be honest and follow your conscience. Remember this quote by Abraham Lincoln:
你不喜欢别人对你撒谎，不是吗？同样，如果你你自己欺骗自己，你也不会喜欢自己。无论你是否意思到，它都会在心里让你不喜欢自己。这就是要诚实对待自己的原因。无论你做什么都要真诚而且要遵循你的本意，这是林肯说的话。
I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end . . . I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me
我希望用这样的方式去处理事情，如果到最后我失去了所有的朋友，至少我还有一个朋友，而且那个朋友永远在我的心里
