"彼らは決して私を理解できない、私は自分の言語を持っている。"

Sometimes, it feels like no one gets you, right? You’ve got this unique way of seeing the world, of expressing yourself, and people just don’t seem to catch on. That’s the essence of what it means to have your own “language.” It’s not about speaking in code or using secret words—it’s about having a personal way of thinking and being that doesn’t always translate neatly into someone else’s framework.

Let’s take a trip back to the early 20th century. Imagine being Vincent Van Gogh. Here’s a guy who saw the world in swirling colors and bold strokes. He’d paint a starry night not as a calm, dark sky with twinkling dots, but as a tempest of vibrant blues and glowing stars, swirling with energy and emotion. People found his work strange, outlandish even. They couldn’t understand his “language” because it was so different from the norm. It wasn’t until much later that the genius of his vision was recognized.

Think about a musician like Prince. This guy created his own style, his own sound. He blended rock, funk, soul, and pop into something entirely unique. He even had his own symbols and stage persona. Critics and fans didn't always get it right away, but Prince wasn’t trying to fit into anyone else’s mold. He had his own language, musically and stylistically.

Now, let’s get practical. Say you’re at work and you’ve got this big presentation to give. You have a really innovative idea, something that doesn’t fit the usual corporate spiel. You’re worried your colleagues won’t understand. Here’s what you do: Stay true to your vision. Use your unique “language” but find a way to bridge it to theirs just enough so they get the gist. Maybe that means relating your big idea to something they already know and value—like connecting a cutting-edge marketing strategy to a successful campaign they admired in the past.

Here’s some advice for you: Don’t dilute your uniqueness. Sure, sometimes you need to meet people halfway, but never lose the essence of what makes your perspective special. It’s that authenticity that eventually wins people over, even if it takes a while for them to catch on.

Imagine this: You’re at a family reunion. Everyone’s sharing stories from the past year. Your cousin talks about their new job, your aunt about her garden, and your brother about his travels. When it’s your turn, you start talking about this passion project you’ve been working on—maybe it’s a novel, a startup idea, or a piece of art. You can see the confusion mixed with polite smiles. They don’t get it. It’s not their language. But you keep talking, sharing your excitement, your setbacks, your breakthroughs. Slowly, they start asking questions. They might never fully understand your “language,” but they start to see the sparkle in your eyes, the passion in your voice. They connect with that.

So, when you feel like no one understands your unique way of being, remember that it’s okay. You have your own language, and while it might take time, the right people will tune in. They’ll start to understand, and even if they don’t, your authenticity is what truly matters. Keep speaking your language—loud and clear.
