Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.

你拥有的独一无二的东西就是你自己。你的声音,你的思想,你的故事,你的愿景。所以写作、绘画、建造、玩耍、跳舞和生活,只有你能做到。
"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something."
我希望在即将到来的这一年里,你会犯错误。因为如果你在犯错误,那么你就在创造新事物,尝试新事物,学习,生活,推动自己,改变自己,改变你的世界。你在做你以前从未做过的事情,更重要的是,你在做一些事情。
"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
