Being True To Yourself
"Zhang Yimou used to be a good director but now he sucks!" said the audience after watching the movie Curse of the Golden Flower ."I will never buy him again. I'm so disappointed." Bad comments about the movie by Zhang filled the newspaper ,TV and Internet . Indeed ,he changed too much from My Father and Mother to Curse of the Golden Flower losing his power to touch the audience's heart. He becomes one of the successful people who chase fame and fortune.
It's quite typical.So many artists are chasing fame and fortune against their inner desire for better art and few of them can resist the lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory.Check your own friends on this points , and I'm sure there are evidences of this recreance available for you to see.
Have you ever got into this situation that you are offered a large amount of money to do something against your rules like to help others cheat in an exam? Almost since we were born ,our parents and teachers have been telling us ,"Be honest! Don't lie!" But after we grow up and frequent lures come to us we seem to be smart ,as in the situation above ,many of my classmates answered without any hesitation ,"Why not? I got money!"
But wait,is that really smart? I mean they quit all the rules they've been holding just for some nonsense money? Here is a resounding "No !" It's so unworthy! It must be our firm conviction that being true to himself lies within himself. Its solution ,too, must begin with him.
We must apply these right beliefs and attitudes to our own lives, watching every aspect of life , unimportant though it may seem. But the decisions we make must be really our own. Try to be happy with who you are and what you do.
Being true to yourself may not help you make a fortune but you will reap the greatest reward--live a truly happy life.

谢谢Chen,这篇小文的结构其实是不合理的。只是提出了问题,没有提出解决的办法。这是我要改进的地方。

Interesting essay. Share some personal opinions here:如果,一个人从小接受的教育就是一个比天还要大的谎言。铺天盖地的谎言。充斥着谎言的教育和生长环境。当衡量价值的标准和尺度都不尽相同时,“真”的定义也因人而异。我们应该都有听说过“真小人”的说法,you can say they are being true to themselves as well.
