"Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality."
This quote is referring to the fact that there are things in life that we cannot control, so if we want to be successful sometimes we need to look at the situation differently. Everyone interprets things differently and trying to see something in a unique way can lead to new ideas and solutions to problems. If we always viewed the world with a negative perspective how would we move forward? I think that Kazantzakis realized that always looking at things the same way doesn't lead to improvements. Looking at something in a new way can be a fresh start to solving problems around us.
"Be as you wish to seem."
Everyone has ideas of what they would like people to see them as or things that they aspire to be. This quote says that you should try to become the thing that you have always wanted to be. Saying that you would like to be interpreted a certain way is very different from actually being interpreted by others in that way. This quote says that if you wish to be something, just be it. Also, I think this quote encourages being yourself even if it is not what others want to see.
