　　Their phone's lockscreen wallpaper

　　他们的手机锁屏图片。

　　When you get to see someone's lockscreen, you're seeing something this person wants to be reminded of everyday. Something that they would like to look at even before unlocking their phone. It is like a window to their soul.

　　当你看到某人的锁屏图片时，你看到的是这个人希望每天都能记起的东西，是ta希望在给手机解锁之前就能看到的东西，这就仿佛是他们灵魂的窗户。

　　Their wallpaper may be of their pet, selfie, parents, children, partner, current car/dream car, favorite actor/singer/sportsperson, favorite bible verse, a beautiful scenery or even the default wallpaper.

　　I had a teacher who said it best.

　　我有个老师曾说过这么一句话，说得非常好。

　　You don't know who someone is until you see them under pressure.

　　只有让一个人处于压力之下，你才能真正认清他。

　　It is when we are under pressure that our true colors come out, when the ego's assis put to the fire and we become the gateway between our survival self and doing what is humane and expressing integrity.

　　当我们处在压力之下时、当自我意识被弃之不顾时、当我们处于生存和高尚正直之间的两难境地时，我们就会显露出自己的真实面貌。

　　If you think about it, it is really easy to be a nice person when there is no pressure in your life. It is easy to give money to those in need when you have it in your wallet. It is easy to smile when you're already laughing. It is easy to dance when you are in love with someone. You don't mind donating money or doing extra favors when you have the time. Even arguing is ok when you are feeling fine otherwise.

　　仔细想想吧，当你的生活中没有压力的时候，做一个好人是一件很容易的事;当你的钱包里有钱的时候，把钱给那些需要它的人是一件很容易的事;当你乐得可以笑出声的时候，你很容易就能微笑待人;当你坠入爱河的时候，你会很容易为之起舞;当你有时间的时候，你并不介意捐些钱或多帮点忙;只要你感觉良好，你会觉得连吵架都是可以接受的。

　　But, put some pressure on the same person and you may be face to face with a demon.

　　但是，当你把同一个人置于压力之下时，你面对的可能就是个魔鬼。

　　It happens to all of us. And it's humbling to see where we really are in relation to life.

　　对我们所有人来说，都是如此，当你看清自己在生活中究竟是怎样一个人的时候，你会觉得自己很渺小。
