I wish that I could tell every person that I meet that he or she is a beautiful person—and have them believe it. I wish I could look them in the eyes and tell them of their beauty and have them accept the words for what they truly are—the truth, plain and simple.
You and I both know that most people will deny their beauty, expressing what they feel is modesty or humility. It's easier for us to be told that we're talented or intelligent—our own beauty is something that we don't want to face.
You could help me to convince people of their innate beauty. You could agree with me in an effort to reinforce the message. You could give a few specifics to illustrate just what we're talking about when we say the person is beautiful. You could reassure the person that I'm not saying it to flatter or to try to win the person over or get something out of the person, but just trying to express in words the beauty I see when I look into that person's eyes and see the human being there, the person who gets happy and hurt and who laughs and who cries.
You can help me by reminding the person that beauty isn't about comparing ourselves with others, but about the part of us that shines when we love others and love life. It's not all physical and it's not all spiritual, but a tender combination of all that we are.
我希望能告訴每一個人我遇到的他（她）真美，並且讓他們相信我的話。我希望我能夠看著他們的雙眸，告訴他們，他（她）真美，讓他們認可這些與他們相符的話語：真實、樸素、簡單。
你我都清楚，大多數人都否定自己的美麗，用平淡或謙遜的話語來表達自己。對我們來說，別人說我們有才能或聰慧是比較容易接受的，而自身的美麗卻是我們所不願正視的。
你可以幫助我讓人們相信他們天生麗質。當我讚美他們的美麗時，你可以對我的觀點表示同意。我們在談論一個人美麗時，你可以具體地講述我們說話的內容。你可以讓他相信，我這樣說的目的不是在阿諛奉承，不是為了拉攏人心，也不是為了得到什麽，而僅僅是在我注視此人的雙眸，看到眼前的此人時，看到這個充滿快樂與傷痛，時而歡樂時而哭泣的人時，盡力用語言表述我所看到的美麗。
你可以幫助我提醒這個人，美麗不是將我們自己與他人比較，而是在愛他人、愛生活時我們身上發光的部分。它不是來自身體，也並非來自精神，它輕柔地交融著我們所擁有的一切。
