g. Almost nothing can stop you from succeeding if you have a) flexibility and b) self- accountability.
如果你拥有灵活性并自我归责,那么几乎 没有什么能阻止你成功。
Flexibility is what allows you to accept what reality (or knowledgeable people) teaches you; self-accountability is essential because if you really believe that failing to achieve a goal is your personal failure, you will see your failing to achieve it as indicative that you haven’t been creative or flexible or determined enough to do what it takes. And you will be that much more motivated to find the way.
灵活性能让你接受现实 (或者有见识的人)给你的教益。自我归责很重 要,因为如果你真的相信未能实现某个目标是你 自己的失败,那你就会把这一失败视为一个提 醒,它说明相对于你的任务而言,你的创造性、 灵活性和坚定性还不够。这样会大大提高你寻找 方法的积极性。
h. Knowing how to deal well with your setbacks is as important as knowing how to move forward.
知道如何对待挫折和知道如何前进一样重 要。
Sometimes you know that you are going over a waterfall and there is no way to avoid it. Life will throw you such challenges, some of which will seem devastating at the time. In bad times, your goal might be to keep what you have, to minimize your rate of loss, or simply to deal with a loss that is irrevocable. Your mission is to always make the best possible choices, knowing that you will be rewarded if you do.
有时你知道你正在不可避免地走向一场大挫 折。生活中总会遇到这样的挑战,有的挑战在当 时看来似乎具有毁灭性。在逆境中,你的目标应 该是守住自己的成绩,尽量减少损失,或者直面 不可挽回的损失。你的任务是始终做出尽可能好 的选择,并清楚如果这么做,你将得到回报。
