It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. But, the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.
人这一生,要想完全不经历某种失败,几乎是不可能的。但失败有个奇妙之处:如何看待它,完全由我们自己说了算。
We can choose to see failure as “the end of the world”. Or, we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is. Every time we fail at something, we can choose to look for the lesson we’re meant to learn. These lessons are very important; they’re how we grow, and how we keep from making that same mistake again. Failures stop us only if we let them.
我们可以选择把失败看成「世界末日」。或者,我们也可以把失败看作一次绝佳的学习机会——它往往确实如此。每当我们在某件事上遭遇失败,都可以选择去寻找其中我们本该汲取的教训。这些教训非常重要:正是靠着它们,我们才得以成长,才能避免重蹈覆辙。只有当我们甘心被失败击倒时,它们才能真正阻挡我们前进。
Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise. For instance, failure can help you discover how strong a person you are. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends, or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.
失败还能让我们认识到一些关于自身的东西,而这些,若非亲历失败,我们本来永远 无从知晓。比如,失败能让你发现,自己原来是个如此坚强的人。在某件事上失败,能帮你看清谁才是最真心的朋友,也能帮你找到意想不到的成功 动力。
