Melinda French Gates: 我过去常常追求完美，总是把自己打扮得漂漂亮亮的，生怕别人不满意。但是现在我变得更加自信和自在，即使头发几天没洗，穿着随意地去商店也无所谓。我已经学会了接纳真实的自己，不再被外界的评价所束缚。在人生的转变过程中，我经历了很多挑战，比如为人父母、失去朋友、离开盖茨基金会以及结束婚姻。这些经历让我更加了解自己，也让我更加坚强。我开始为那些在发展中国家的弱势女性发声，这让我找到了人生的意义和价值。我也意识到，我需要以身作则，鼓励我的孩子们勇敢表达自己的声音，追求自己的梦想。在大型社交场合，我仍然会感到紧张和不安，但我学会了克服内心的恐惧，积极地与他人交流。我不再害怕别人的评价，如果他们不喜欢我，或者不喜欢我说的话，那也没关系。我已经到了一个阶段，我可以坦然地做自己，不需要讨好所有人。我值得拥有现在的一切，因为我为此付出了很多努力。 在过去的几十年里，我经历了很多人生的转变，这些转变让我更加了解自己，也让我更加坚强。我学会了倾听自己的内心，信任自己的直觉，并勇敢地做出选择。我曾经因为对身材的完美主义而感到焦虑和不安，但是怀孕期间，我放下了这种压力，感觉非常自由。我意识到，过去我对自己的期望过高了，我需要学会接纳真实的自己，而不是追求一个虚假的完美形象。 现在，我已经很少有冒名顶替综合征的感觉了。我越来越自信，也越来越不在乎别人的看法。我知道自己值得拥有现在的一切，因为我为此付出了很多努力。如果有人不喜欢我，或者不喜欢我说的话，那也没关系。我已经到了一个阶段，我可以坦然地做自己，不需要讨好所有人。 Jamie Kern Lima: 与Melinda的对话让我深受启发，我相信这也会对很多女性有所帮助。Melinda分享了她人生中重要的转变，以及她如何克服内心的恐惧和不安，找到真实的自我。她的经历和分享，将激励许多女性勇敢地追求自己的梦想，并相信自己值得被信任。Melinda的坦诚和开放，也让我看到了女性在面对人生挑战时的坚韧和勇气。她的故事，将鼓舞更多女性去倾听自己的内心，信任自己的直觉，并勇敢地做出选择。
