Life is full of ups and downs. Yet with resilience, the ability to recover from a difficult situation, we are more likely to overcome adversity and find success. The good news is, every one of us can develop resilience. Here's how:
生活充滿了起起落落。但是我們擁有韌性——從困境中恢復的能力,我們就更容易克服逆境并走向成功。好消息是:我們每個人都能培養韌性。下面講述的是如何培養韌性:
Learning to Recover
學會恢復

You need to know what resilience is so that you can remember that you have it. Resilience is an emotional muscle that can grow with use and practice -- or become weak if ignored.
你得知道“韌性”是什么意思,才能記住自己是擁有這個特點的。韌性是情感肌肉,用得越多,練得越多,就越強壯,不加理會則會萎縮。
Everyone can grow this emotional muscle. Everyone needs to.
每個人都可以練好這塊情感肌。每個人也都必須練好。
You are born with some resilience. You have the choice how to apply it throughout your life. To grow resilience you need fuel, you need challenge and you need lots of practice.
你天生就擁有一些韌性。你可以選擇終生都使用它。培養韌性需要燃料,需要挑戰和大量的練習。
Some people believe that resilience is a trait that is inborn; you either have it or you don't. But that is not quite accurate. You are born with some component characteristics that help the development of resilience. For example, there is a contribution that temperament makes to the acquisition of resilience; some people are simply born with less reactivity to stress. It makes them more hardy in the face of adversity and better able to draw on their cognitive abilities in situations that throw others off balance.
有些人相信韌性是先天的特點,有就有,沒有就沒有。其實這種說法并不確切。你天生就具有一些特點,可以有助于韌性的培養。比如說,性格對于韌性的獲得是有幫助的;有些人天生就對壓力沒有那么強烈的反應。這樣他們面對逆境時就會更加堅強,也能夠在一些情況下更好地利用自己的認知能力,換了別人,早就已經不知所措了。
