There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes.
Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do, gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will always inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment might present… to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into a fragrant garden of flowers.
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
逆境是一所最好的學校每一次打擊、每一次損失。都蘊含著成功的萌芽。都教會我在下一次有更出色的表現。我再也不會逃避現實,也不會拒絕從以往的錯誤中獲取經驗,我不再因此促成自己的失敗。
現在我知道,靈魂倍受煎熬的時刻,也正是生命中最多選擇與機會的時刻。無論何時,當我被可怕的失敗擊倒,在最初的陣痛過去之后,我都要想方設法將苦難變成好事。偉大的機遇就在這一刻閃現——這苦澀的根本必將迎來滿園芬芳!
我將一直在困境中尋找成功希望。
