"حتی در ادبیات و هنر هیچ ‌کس که نگران اصالت باشد هرگز اصیل نخواهد شد در حالی که اگر سعی کنید حقیقت را بگویید نه بار از ده بار بدون آن که متوجه شوید اصیل خواهید شد"

Simplified Meaning:

When people try too hard to create something new or special in their writing or art, they often struggle and make things that feel forced or unnatural. But if they focus on being honest and real, their work will naturally become unique. For example, imagine a chef trying to invent a completely new dish. If they mix unusual ingredients just to be different, it might not taste good. But if they cook from the heart, using flavors and techniques they truly understand and love, they will create something original and delicious without even trying. Similarly, if someone writes or paints about their genuine feelings and experiences, their work will stand out because it's sincere and true to who they are. This approach can help anyone be more creative in their projects, hobbies, or even daily jobs by emphasizing honesty over trying to be different just for the sake of it.
