○  just be true to who you are  ○

　　i would like to raise a question to all of you. who are you? or who am i? i am li lei. no! li lei is just a name. anyone can be called li lei. who you are is what you want to be and where you stand in your life. so, bill gates is bill gates we know; mariah carey is mariah carey. that is my answer to that philosophic question.

　　goal is a good guide to make you find what you want to be. however, life is complicated. goals that one set may go bad. further, it’s easy for us to get lost in such complex life. then (1)some people live for the fortune; some people live for the fame; some people live for the power; some people live just to play the game. one doing things against oneself is just a zombie. lying is just for a quite short peace. then they will be addicted to that short peace and lost themselves.

　　life is hard. it’s easy for us to give in. if by life you were deceived, don’t be dismal, don’t be wild. (2)just be true to who you are. don’t lie to yourself that i should compromise to the rough reality.

　　sometimes it’s hard to follow your heart. you may feel you are not yourself and play a role of someone else. if (3)seeing is deceiving, then dreaming is believing. tears don’t mean you are losing. no matter how hard the environment is, hold on your dream; be true to who you are.

　　if i am in that case, (4)i refuse to falter in what i believe or lose faith in my dreams. (5)i can make it through the rain; i can stand up once again on my own. and i know that i'm strong enough to mend. and every time i feel afraid i hold tighter to my faith. be true to who i am.
