面對困境,戰勝自己,繼續前進!
Imagine you had a few difficult years – your mother died, you lost your job and had to start over, you were sick for a while and as a result your economy isn’t the greatest. Because of all the hurdles you’ve been through, having to put out fires as opposed to doing what you love, you also don’t feel like you’re living life to the full. Yet. You’re just steadily working your way up. Because, of course, you’ve decided to look up and move forward.
想象一下你經過了幾年艱難痛苦的時光：你的媽媽去世了，你失業了，你不得不重新開始，你病了一段時間，后果就是你的經濟狀況不佳。因為你經過的所有這些障礙，你必須解決與你所愛的事情相對立的問題，你也不想你的生活就這樣結束。但是。你只是正在努力工作向上爬。當然，因為你已經決定向前看，繼續前進。
Truth is, we all have rough patches in life. Sometimes it’s like Pandora’s box in the events department and even if some things go right, it seems like a lot of big things go wrong.
實際上，我們在生活中都會有一些艱難的障礙。有時候就像是活動組的潘多拉的盒子，即使事情發展的方向是對的，但看起來似乎有許多大事卻錯了。
Which, of course, affects us. We will need time off to rest and heal, or possibly go somewhere new to get a different perspective on things. We might have periods before that when we’re irritable and miserable because we don’t figure it all out at first. It’s normal. The issue lies in that some people blame themselves for it, or get stuck in a negative state of mind because of it, or simply lose their confidence.
當然，這都影響著我們。我們會需要時間來休息和治愈，或者可能需要去其他新的地方來找到對事物不同的觀點。我們或許在易怒和痛苦之前會有一定的周期，但是我們卻沒有在一開始就全部想到。這很正常。問題在于一些人會因此而責怪自己，或者因此而陷入消極的心理狀態，或者僅僅是喪失信心。
You’re not a disaster because something bad happened and you were temporarily crushed by it – the important thing is that you’re standing up again. How you perceive yourself in this situation and, thus, how you present yourself, is crucial.
你不能因為發生了一些不好的事情，就認為自己是個災星，你只是暫時被挫折打垮了——重要的是你要再次站起來。在這種情況下如何認識自己，如何展現自己，是至關重要的。
You can say: These past three years have been like a shit storm and I was about as prepared for it as I would have been if some aliens just walked in the door. I had to learn to deal with so many new situations. It humbles you. It teaches you what you have to be grateful for.
你可以說:過去的三年時間就像是不幸的暴風雨，我已經做好了面對這些的準備，如果有外星人現在走進門來，我也毫不畏懼。我必須學會如何應對如此多的新情況。這些事情讓你變得謙遜，也教會了你應該感恩什么。
