You know , go to school and stuff,

你知道的，上學，還有其他的事

and a lot of people put me down

我當時對人性感到失望

You know what I mean ?

你懂我想表達的嗎？

a lot of people tease each other .

我看到人們彼此嘲弄

I mean. People come up and say

我的意思是，人們會對你說像是

Hey ! ah you know ,you're too short, you're too tall

「嘿！你怎麼都長不高？你長那麼高幹嘛？」

You look .... whatever !

「你看起來好.....」 諸如此類的話！

and different hair and all that .... it doesn't matter !

甚至是髮色也能被恥笑，還有很多很多.....沒辦法一一舉例

when you're growing up in life it actually sort of matters

總之，當我們在成長的過程中，會有段時間渴望從別人眼光

to people how you look.

來肯定自己的價值感

and than it matters to you because it matters to others !

不只有你這樣想，而是每個人心中都有這樣的渴望！

Why? Why does it matter how you look?

為什麼會對自己的價值有不安全感？！因為你怕沒有人會愛你，

Because if they don't like you then who will?

所以想活出他們喜歡的你？

if they don't accept you then who will?

只有你自己能夠做到喜歡並接受真實的自己

And the fear that we have is that we're gonna be alone

有時候我們活出別人眼中的自己是渴望被人們接受

that we're not good enough. And you know we have to change ourselves.

因為你總覺得自己不夠好，所以用盡所能的去改變

you know so many people put me down and said ,Nick, you look too weird and no one is really your friend.

你知道嗎？我聽過好多人們嘲笑我的話，他們說：「Nick，你知道你長得很奇怪嗎？沒有人想要跟怪胎做朋友。

and you can't do this and you can't do that.

你沒有四肢還能幹嘛，什麼事都沒辦法做啊。」

And I couldn't change anything. It isn't like I was fixing my hair one day and everything was fine.

我確實無法改變上帝所給我的身體，這不是睡一覺起來就像魔法般自動修正所有錯誤那樣

it isn't like, you know... just whatever .

完全不是。所以，這不是我所能控制的。

I couldn't change my circumstance.

我沒辦法改變我現在身體四肢的事實狀況

I couldn't just one day wake up and say Hey!

我也沒辦法在睡一覺醒來就跟上帝說，嘿！

give me arms and legs. I need arms and legs !

給我完整的四肢吧，我需要強健的手臂和雙腿啊！

But it was so hard because people put me down.

我當時總是一再的被人們恥笑作弄

and I started believing that I was not good enough. I started believing that I was a failure.

因為這樣，我一直無法喜歡自己，總覺得有缺陷很丟臉，總覺得自己是個失敗者

That I would never ever be somebody who people would like , people would accept.

我永遠沒辦法成為別人喜歡的那個我，那個大家都願意接受的我

and it was so hard, man. I thought to myself : "You know?

這一切真的很煎熬，我充滿著痛苦，你知道嗎？

I can't go on the soccer field like everybody else !

我沒辦法像一般人有雙腳可以踢足球！

I can't ride my bike and I can't skateboard and all these sort of things !

也沒辦法享受乘著風騎單車的愉悅，我也沒有腳能夠滑滑板，有好多事情我都做不來！

I started getting depressed.

於是我開始陷入自己設下的絕望黑洞

I thought, what kind of purpose do I have to live? I mean, are you just here to live to die

我一直問自己，到底我活在這世上有什麼意義？這樣的狀況根本一生下來就是在等死

I mean

我一直問自己

is there not a purpose for me? is there not a purpose in life ?

到底我活著的目的是什麼？我的人生目標到底是什麼？

and I had questions and no answers and I asked my mum and dad ,why did this happen?

我有好多好多的問號，但全部都得不到解答。我問我的爸媽，為什麼這種事會發生在我身上？

I asked doctors why did this happen ? they don't know .

我問醫生到底為什麼我會變這樣？但所有的人給我的答案，都是無解

There are some things in life that are out of your control

我們生命當中有很多事是你完全無法掌控的

that you cann't change and you gonna live with

你無法改變它，但它又如影隨形跟著你

The choice that we have, though, is either to give up or keep on going.

而我們能做的，就是做出選擇：你要放棄自己？或是帶著盼望再繼續向前？

I want to ask you, what are you gonna believe ?

我想要你們問問自己，你的信念是什麼？

are you gonna believe in yourself or are you gonna believe everybody else's judgment on you

你相信你自己，還是你要全盤接受所有人對你的評論？

are you gonna believe people when they say that

或是當所有人都說你是個失敗者的時候，

you're a failure

你覺得真的是那樣嗎？

That no one really likes you. That no one really cares about you .

大家跟你說你沒人愛，跟你說沒有人在乎你

And It isn't really to say that you need somebody to come up to you

況且真正的內心渴望，應該不會只希望有人來跟你說

and say , Hey! I really like you and I really care about u.

「嘿，我真的很喜歡你而且非常在乎你。」

you know , it is not about that,

我相信你知道的，絕非僅此而已

but it's the fact that people put you down.

但你所面對的現實，是人們一再的用負面的話語傷害你

people don't even look you in the eye.

人們不願撇開外在去看你的內心

people ask you how you are and you say fine but you are not really fine and they'll never know that.

人們會關心你，你其實很不開心卻回應他們你很好，但他們永遠不會知道實情

I tell you life is interesting. Life is a journey.

生命其實很有意思，就像一趟冒險旅程

so what do you do when you fall down? get back up everybody knows to get back up.

所以，當你失落的時候你會怎麼做？我相信每個人都知道應該要重新振作

but I tell you there're some times in life where you fall down

但你能夠每次都從挫敗中告訴自己要再次剛強站立起來嗎？

and feel like you don't have the strength to get back up.

不，有時候你會軟弱到無力抵抗那負面的陰霾

I'm down here ,

我看著自己

face down and I have no arms and no legs

我低下頭，看著自己沒有四肢

it should be impossible for me to get back up

這足以讓我放棄自己，放棄重新振作的機會

it should be impossible

這足以讓我認為一切都不可能會更好

for me to get back up but it's not

讓我放棄重新振作。但是，這絕不會是結局

You see , I'll try one hundred times to get up and if I fail one hundred times

你知道嗎，我失敗多少次，我就用多少次的力氣再次站起來

if I fail and I give up , do you think that I'm ever gonna get up?

但如果我失敗又放棄自己，我還能再振作起來嗎？

No !

沒辦法！

but if fail and I I try again.

但如果即便失敗，我仍然繼續努力，

and again and again for as long as I try

一直一直嘗試，我知道只要我繼續嘗試

there is always that chance of me getting up !

我就能振作起來！

and it is not the end

所以，困境永遠不是你的終點

until you have given up!

除非你先屈服了！

And just the fact that you are here

而就是因為你還活著

should persuade you

所以你該告訴自己

that you have another chance to get back up.

你永遠有機會再次剛強站立

There is still hope

你的人生永遠都有美好的盼望

I'm not here today to tell you that I understand your pain, I don't know how it feels to be abused.

我今天不是要分享對痛苦的同理心。我不是你，我不了解被霸凌的感覺

I don't know how it feels, I don't know how it feels

我不知道那樣的感受是什麼，我不知道

but I know how it feels to have a broken heart.

但我知道擁有一顆破碎的心是什麼樣的感覺

and I know how it feels to be alone

我了解被孤立的感覺

but I just want you to know that it's not the end.

但我要你知道，這絕不是你的終點

it matters how you are gonna finish

重點在於，你是否決定拋下纏累的束縛

Are you going to finish strong ?

你是否決定給自己一個機會剛強站立?

and you will find that strength to get back up !

我相信這股如同重生的渴望動力會讓你重新看見自己的未來！
