Challenges in life seem to come in waves and we can find our dexterity for handling tough situations waning. Your debit card is stolen. Your car breaks down. You get laid off. Wham! Wham! One after another. Sometimes your head reels from the constant impact. Face those waves head on just like a boat, or else you’ll capsize. If you procrastinate, whine, and complain about the hard situations in life, the waves of difficulties will roll you upside down. Be proactive when facing down a challenge. Be determined to solve your problems, or life will be determined to knock you down like a rogue wave.
生活中的挑戰似乎也是一波一波到來的,而且我們會發現自己處理棘手情況的能力正在減弱。你的借記卡丟了。你的車壞了。你被解雇了。哇!哇!一個接一個的打擊。有時你被這應接不暇的打擊折磨得暈頭轉向。面對挫折就好比迎著海浪前進的航船,一不小心就會傾覆。如果你猶豫不決、悲悲戚戚、牢騷滿腹地抱怨生活的艱難,那么一浪又一浪的困境將會讓你摔個底朝天。在面臨挑戰的時候,你要主動出擊。你必須下定決心去解決自己的問題,否則生活將會像滔天的巨浪一樣把你擊倒。
Keep a positive attitude and good things will come your way. Lie on your back and float on those waves while they lull you to a peaceful sleep. Face trouble with determination and strength. At sea one must know which way they are heading and have the strength to get there. It is the same in life. And if you can stand tall with your head above the water, your body and mind will be at ease.
保持積極的態度,好事自然就會發生。躺在海面上隨波逐流,海浪的舒緩會使你安然入睡。我們要下定決心去面對困境。在海上,人們必須清楚地知道自己前進的方向,也要擁有指引自己到達目的地的力量。生活中也是如此。如果你能把高貴的頭抬出水面,你的身體和心靈就會自在安逸。
