Every living person has problem
What is the secret ingrdient of tough people that enables them to suceed? Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they soar when others sink?
The answer is very simple. It's alll in how they perceive their problems. Yes, very living person has problems. A problem-free life is an illusion- a mirage in the desert. Accept that fact.
Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs, its peaks and its valleys. No one is up all the time, nor are that down all the time. Problems do end. They are all resolved in time.
you may not be able to control the times, but you can compose your response. You can turn you pain into profanity-or into peotry. The choice is up to you. You may not have shosen your tough time, but you can choose how you react to it. For instant, what is the positive reaction to a terrible finacial setback? In this situation would it be the positive resaction to cop out and run away? Escape through alcohol, drug, or suiside? No! Such negetive reactions only produce greater problems by promising a temporary 'solution' to the pressing problem. The positive solution to a problem may require courage to initiate it. When you control your reaction to the seemingly uncontrollable problem of life, then in fact you do control the problem's effect on you Your reaction to the problem is the last word! That's the botom line. What will you let this problem do to you? It can make you tender or tough. It can make you better or bitter. It all depends on you.
In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so because thet've chosen to react positive;y to their predicament. Tough times never last , but tough people do. Tough people stick it out. History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan. No problem is permanent. Storms always give way to sun. Winter always thaws into springtime. Your storm will pass. Your winter will thaw. Your problem will be solved
2\学会生活在现实中
Learn to live in the present moment
To a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live on the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are---always!
我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中所决定的．不管昨天或去年发生了什么,不管明天可能发生或不发生什么,现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处．
Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about variety of things--all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns dominate your present moments, so much so that we end up anxious,frustrated,depressed,and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that 'someday' never actually arrives. Jhon Lennone once said, "Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans." When we are busy making 'other plans', our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.
毫无疑问,我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术,即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担心忧虑上－－而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情．我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活,以至我们整日焦虑不安,委靡不振,甚至沮丧绝望．而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感,推迟我们应优先考虑的事情,推迟我们的幸福感,常常说服自己”有朝一日”会比今天更好．不幸的是,如此告戒我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去,以至”有朝一日”哟贫农公元不会真的来临．约翰．列侬曾经说过：”生活就是当我们忙于制定别的计划时发生的事．”当我们忙于指定种种”别的计划”时,我们的孩子在忙于长大,我们挚爱的人里去了甚至快去世了,我们的体型变样了,而我们的梦想也在消然溜走了．一句话,我们错过了生活．
Many people lives as if life is a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one have a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When we put our attention on the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future--we won't have enoughh money,our children will get into trouble,we will get old and die,whatever.
许多人的生活好象是某个未来日子的彩排．并非如此．事实上,没人能保证他或她肯定还活着．现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间,现在也是我们能控制的唯一的时间．当我们将注意力放在此时此刻时,我们就将恐惧置于脑后．恐惧就是我们担忧某些事情会在未来发生－－我们不讳有足够的钱,我们的孩子会惹上麻烦,我们会变老,会死去,诸如此类．
To combat fear, the best stradegy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said,"I have been through some terrible things in life, some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your effort will pay great dividends.
若要克服恐惧心理,最佳策略是学会将你的注意力拉回此时此刻．马克．吐温说过：”我经历过生活中一些可怕的事情,有些的确发生过．”我想我说不出比这更具内涵的话．经常将注意力集中于此情此景,此时此刻,你的努力终会有丰厚的报偿．
3\How High Can You Jump?
Flea trainers have observed a strange habit of fleas while training them. Fleas are trained by putting them in a cardboard box with a top on it. The fleas will jump up and hit the top of the cardboard box over and over and over again.
As you watch them jump and hit the lid, something very interesting becomes obvious. The fleas continue to jump, but they are no longer jumping high enough to hit the top.
When you take off the lid, the fleas continue to jump, but they will not jump out of the box. They won't jump out because they can't jump out. Why? The reason is simple. They have conditioned themselves to jump just so high.
Once they have conditioned themselves to jump just so high, that's all they can do!
Many times, people do the same thing. They restrict themselves and never reach their potential. Just like the fleas, they fail to jump higher, thinking they are doing all they can do.
跳蚤训练人在训练跳蚤时发现跳蚤有一个奇怪的习惯.若把跳蚤放在一个有顶盖的盒子里,他们会不断地跳起来,撞击顶盖.
你观察他们跳起来撞击顶盖,会慢慢发现一个有趣的现象.他们仍会跳起来,但不会再撞到顶盖.
当你把顶盖拿开时,跳蚤还会接着跳,但却不会跳出盒子.为什么呢?原因很简单.它们已经习惯了只跳那么高.
一旦它们习惯只跳这么高之后,它们就只能跳这么高了.
很多时候,人们也是一样.他们自己限制了自己,从来不去发掘自己的潜力.就像跳蚤一样,没能跳得更高,还以为已经到了自己能力的极限.
4\热爱生活 （Love Your Life ）
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它.它不像你那样坏.你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷.爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点.你要爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷.甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候.夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前,积雪同在早春融化.我只看到,一个从容的人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想.城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活.也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧.大多数人以为他们是超然的,不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱的,毋宁是不体面的.视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样,无论是新的朋友或新的衣服,来麻烦你自己.找旧的,回到那里去.万物不变,是我们在变.你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想.
5\父爱和母爱
Motherly and Fatherly Love
Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any specific expectation. Unconditional love corresponds in one of 'the deepest longings, not only of the child, but of every human being; on the other hand, to be loved because of one's merit, because one deserves it, always leaves doubt: maybe I did not please the person whom I want to love me, maybe this or that--there is always a fear that love could disappear. Furthermore, "deserved" love easily leaves a bitter feeling that one is not loved for oneself, that one is loved only because one pleases, that one is, in the last analysis, not loved at all but used. No wonder that we all cling to the longing for motherly love, as children and also as adults. The relationship to father is quite different. Mother is the home we come from, she is nature, soil, the ocean; father does not represent any such natural home. He has little connection with the child in the first years of his life, and his importance for the child in this early period cannot be compared with that of mother. But while father does not represent the natural world, he represents the other pole of human existence; the world of thought, of man-made things, of law and order, of discipline, of travel and adventure. Father is the one who teaches the child, who shows him the road into the world. Fatherly love is conditional love. Its principle is "1 love you because you fulfill my expectations, because you do your duty, because you are like me." In conditional fatherly love we find, as with unconditional motherly love, a negative and a positive aspect. The negative aspect is the very fact that fatherly love has to be deserved, that it can be lost if one does not do what is expected.
The positive side is equally important. Since his love is conditional, I can do something to acquire it, I can work for it; his love is not outside of my control as motherly love is.
母爱和父爱
母爱的天性是无条件的.母亲爱她的新生婴儿,因为那是她的孩子,而不是因为这个小孩符合了什么特别的条件,也不是因为孩子达到了她的某种特别的期望.无条件的爱符合——不只是小孩子,而且是每个人最深切的渴望.另一方面,如果因为自己的优点,因为自己值得爱而被别人爱,我们总会心存疑虑：可能我没有使那个我希望他(她)爱我的人满意吧?可能这个,可能那个——总是害怕那份爱会消失.而且“值得的”爱很容易令人产生一种辛酸的感觉：似乎一个人不是因为自身而被爱,而是因为自己可以令别人高兴,令别人满足才被爱,似乎自己根本不是被爱而是被利用了.无怪乎我们全都依恋、渴望着母爱,不论小孩还是成年人都如此.
孩子同父亲的关系就完全不同了.母亲是我们的发源地,她是自然、是土壤、是海洋；父亲不代表任何这些自然的归宿.在孩子初生的前几年中,父亲和孩子接触很少.在此期间,对于孩子来说,父亲的重要性远远比不上母亲.但是,虽然父亲不代表这自然的世界,他却代表了人类存在的另一极——思想的世界、人造的世界、法律和秩序的世界、纪律的世界、旅行和冒险的世界.教育孩子的人是父亲,向孩子展示通向世界之路的人也是父亲.父爱是有条件的.它的原则是：“因为你达到了我的期望,因为你完成了你的职责,因为你像我,所以我爱你.”在有条件的父爱中,我们(像在无条件的母爱中一样)发现它既有消极的一面,又有积极的一面.消极的一面是父爱的给予只在你值得得到爱的条件下,而且如果你没有做到他所期望的事,你可能会失去这份爱.积极的一面也同样重要.既然他的爱是有条件的,我可以采取一些办法去获取它,我可以为之而努力；他的爱像母爱一样,并没有越出我的控制力
What is the secret ingrdient of tough people that enables them to suceed? Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they soar when others sink?
The answer is very simple. It's alll in how they perceive their problems. Yes, very living person has problems. A problem-free life is an illusion- a mirage in the desert. Accept that fact.
