大家好！I want to translate this sentence into Mandarin Chinese: Sometimes we have to give up what we are to become what we want to be. It is culturally better to state the goal first.  有時, 若要成為要想成的人, 先脱原本.  Here's a more colorful and positive thinking from the story of the leaping carps to turn into dragons (鯉魚跳龍門) See the carp section in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_in_Chinese_mythology.  若要成龍, 先脱魚身
