应对困境：六大妙招，转败为胜

有人说：“The only two things you can count on in life are death and taxes.”不过我觉得有很多人在忙着填税单和参加葬礼的同时，会不服这一说法。我们时不时都得应对逆境，逆境的发生有时是出于我们判断力不足，有时则是由于其他因素。尽管我们不能控制困难何时降临，却完全可以控制困难对我们的影响。困难总是层出不穷的，而衡量一个人品格的真正方法莫过于看他如何应对各种逆境与艰难。生亦有，死亦有，变迁亦常有。人生路上多坎坷，走出逆境需锦囊，六大妙招，助力奋斗。

1.Nobodys Perfect

没有人是完美的

Perfection is a myth， and anyone who claims to always get it nght has no grasp on life at all. We cannot register every fault， poor decision or folly as an end all because its not-its but a hiccup.

We must look at life as one， great big leaming curve that never ends. Only when we are dead will we stop leaming and stop failing. So， until we are buried six feet under the dirt， we must understand that valleys are as much a part of reaching the mountain top as the ascent is.

Once we come to gnps with the reality that the lows are temporary， we will be able to shift our mindsets to rising above rather than dwelling below.

完美并不存在。任何自称了解完美之人其实丝毫未抓住生命的真谛。我们不能把每一个错误、失策、愚行都当成世界终结，因为它们根本不是终结，它们不过是些小问题。

我们必须把生命看成一条巨大的学习曲线，永无止境。唯有在死亡之时，我们才会停止学习，也就没有失败了。因此，在身埋黄土之前，我们必须明白，深谷亦是攀登高山之巅过程中的一部分。

一旦我们懂得低谷乃是暂时的，我们就能调整心态，斗志昂扬起来而非一蹶不振。

2.Down But Not Out

可以失败，但绝不放弃

Do not accept defeat. No matter what has happened， the worst option you have is to throw in the towel. We have one life， meaning one chance to chase the dreams we are given.

So， we have to assess whether or not the problem in front of us is big enough to blow that one chance away. Its okay to be down; we all fall. Just make sure you get up even stronger.

绝不接受失败！不管发生何事，最糟糕的选择莫过于放弃。生命只有一次，这意味着我们只有一次机会追逐上天赐予的梦想。

因此，我們得去评估，面前的问题是否大到能夺走我们这仅有的追梦机会。失败没关系;我们都会跌倒。但要保证得从跌倒处站起一个更强大的你。

3. Turn Frustration into Motivation

化失意为动力

When it rains it pours， if we letit. Just because things are not how we intended for them to be doesnt mean they must continue that way.

The difficulties and hardships bring undoubtedly dark clouds that hover over ourlives， affecting our moods and outlooks Onlife. This is why its imperative that we use frustration to motivate us to overcome.

Take whats not going in your favor and use it as a spark plug to fuel your drive forward. Often， we deserve better than what we have and proving this to ourselves can be just the motivation we need.

倘若放任自我，则将祸不单行。事情未按照我们的心意发展，并不意味着它会一直不顺吾意。

艰难困苦无疑如乌云遮蔽生活，破坏我们的心情，影响我们对生活的展望。这就是为何我们得化失意为克服困难的动力的原因。

将所有不顺心之事当作火花塞，推动自己继续前行。通常，我们值得拥有更好的，而向自己证明这一点恰是我们所需的动力源泉。

4.Good Vibes Only

创造积极氛围

NegaOvity is a cancer. It is a boa constrictor that sucks all the life from you and everyone around. Keep positivity around you， at all costs. This not only restores a healthy mind， but it also helps to attract positMty.

Small things， such as giving a stranger a friendly smile， paying for the persons coffee behind you and letting a car through incoming traffic， can give you unexpected joy-even in the most troubling times. Deciding to be more positive will be evident in what you do and how you feel.

Thats why， in order to be successful in times of struggle， good energy has to be mandatory for who you are around， as well as what you say and do. If you are around people who complain and focus on whats bad， it wont help you shift out of that mind frame at all.

消极是癌症，如巨蟒吞噬你，乃至你周遭所有人的活力。无论如何都要在你周围创造一种积极氛围。这不仅可以恢复健康向上的思想，更可以构成良性循环。

给他人一个微笑，为排在身后的人付一杯咖啡钱，车流中让他人先行，诸如此类的小事会带给你意想不到的快乐，哪怕是在你最艰难的时候。决定变得更加积极后，你的所做所感都会迎来显而易见的变化。

这就是为什么，要想在困难期间获得成功，必须与有正能量之人相处，你的一言一行也必须带着正能量。如果你身侧之人热衷抱怨，只关注事物糟糕的一面，这根本无法帮助你调整心态。

5.Change

勇于改变

Albert Einstein famously stated， “lnsanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different resuIts.” The Nobel Prize-winning college dropout was right： We must change our approach to every dead end.

The struggles we face may be an indication that we should change our surroundings， friend groups and even mindset in order to ensure that such mishaps do not occur again.

Change is scary. Its hard work and requires effort. But， if we want to succeed In areas of our lives at which weve previously failed， we must take a step back to observe and make adjustments; anything else would be insane.

爱因斯坦有句名言：“愚蠢就是一遍遍地做同一件事，却期待不同成果。”這位大学辍学的诺贝尔奖得主所言不假：每遇一条死胡同，我们就必须转换路线。

我们所面对的困境或许是一种暗示，暗示我们应当调整当下环境、朋友圈乃至心态，以防类似事件再次发生。

改变常使人不安，改变需要努力。但是，倘若我们想要在先前翻船的阴沟里再次扬帆，我们必须反省之前所为，做出相应调整。此外的其他一切行为都是极其愚蠢的。

6.Plan！ Plan ！ Plan！

计划！计划！计划！

Once youve made up your mind to change your circum-stances， the first step is to plan accordingly.

Set goals and benchmarks Of where you would like tosee yourself： the habits you think you need to drop， peopleyou feel you need to cut off and places you would like to your-self. Be realistic and manage your expectations.

Without a vision， you are blind. So， write down all the things that are making your current state unsaos factory， andthen make the necessary adjustments to get there.

一旦下定决心改变当下处境，你所踏出的第一步就是制定相应计划。

设立心中理想的目标和标准：你觉得自己需要摒弃哪些习惯;你觉得自己需要远离哪些人;你想到达的地方在哪。现实一点，管理好自己的期望。

没有高瞻远瞩，你只会盲目而行。所以，把所有造成对现状不满的因素写下来，然后做出相应调整，向着目标前进。
