【讀金句】Natalia Vodianova：如果沒有過挫折，你不會懂怎麼支持他人！俄羅斯超模到LVMH時尚集團太子妃的人生哲學

有人說：「錢買不到快樂，僅限有錢人才懂。」…我經歷過貧窮，也享受過富裕生活，我坦白說，錢真的買不到快樂。

“There is a saying: ‘Money doesn’t buy happiness, but only the rich know it.”… I have been both poor and wealthy and I can tell you money doesn’t buy you happiness.”

如過你不喜歡某些事情，那就必須去改變它。勇敢去做，不要遲疑！

“If you're not happy with something you have to change it. Be bold and don't hesitate.

如果你從沒體會過挫折，你不會真正懂的怎麼去支持他人。

“If you never know hardship, you can't really support people around you.”

當你成為一位母親，你會更關心這個世界而非自己。

“When you become a mother, you think less about yourself and care more about the world.”

我不再是為自己而活，現在為了履行我一生的慈善志業而生，當你和曾經幫助過的人見面時，那份感動是前所未有的回饋。

“I'm not surviving just for myself anymore, I'm surviving for the philanthropic mission. When I meet the parents of people we've helped it's so overwhelmingly rewarding.”

如果你很有野心，可能會拼出一刻短暫的光榮；只有才華，會永遠會替你找到出路。

“If you are ambitious you can have a moment of glory but it will most likely be temporary. But talent always finds its way out.”

我很早就學會不要把期望設得太高，這樣可以保護自己免於失望。

“I learnt early to have little expectation so I protected myself from ever feeling greatly disappointed.”

你必需起身為自己做決定，沒人可以強迫你去做任何事。

“You have to stand up and make those decisions, no one can force you to do anything.”
