5 該放手時就放手
When Harry, Hermione, and Ron began their search for horcruxes, they let the urgency to complete the mission distract them from organizing a solid plan. They wasted more time arguing than looking. While they should have asked for help, they should have also known when to give up and approach the search from another angle.
在哈利、赫敏和羅恩開始他們尋找魂器之旅時,他們沒有制定詳實的計劃,而是走一步是一步。一路上他們吵架的時間比干正事的時間還要多。有的時候他們就應該求助,某條路行不通的時候其實應該換個角度來看問題。
The lesson here isn’t to give up when the going gets tough; it’s to know when to give up and admit defeat when you have tried everything you can do. If you’re facing a tough and difficult situation, don't let it exhaust you to the point where all your efforts actually prolong the problem and waste your resources. Instead, if you can, ask for help or step back for a few moments to clear your head and approach the situation from a fresher perspective. Things will work out in the end.
這一課教會我們不要鉆牛角尖,行不通的時候應該換種方式看問題;當你把你能想到的所有方法都嘗試過之后還沒法達到目的的話,你該了解什么時候該放棄,承認失敗不丟臉。如果你正面臨焦灼的局面,而你花上所有精力來解決問題的方式只是拖延時間的話,這個時候你就該向別人求助或后退幾步想清楚,換一種看問題的方式。只有這樣問題才能得到解決。
