1.了解你的个性 Know what constitutes strength in character. Strength in character are the qualities that allow its possessor to exercise control over his instincts and passions, to master himself, and to resist the myriad temptations that constantly confront us. Moreover, strength in character is freedom from biases and prejudices of the mind, and tolerance, love, and respect for others. 了解你个性中最本质的东西。它能够帮助你有效地控制自己的情绪和自己,能够禁得住诱惑,并尊重他人。 2.积极面对人生 Focus on the positives in life, and give no thought to the negatives. A physician once said to a young woman complaining of all sorts of troubles for which she asked of him a cure: "Don't think of them: it is the most powerful of all cures." Physical and mental pains can be alleviated by effort of the will to divert the mind into opposite channels, and exacerbated by the dwelling upon them. 积极面对人生。一位哲人曾经说过这样一个故事:一个年轻的妇女跑到他面前求助,她觉得生活处处不如意,请这位哲人给她想个办法,哲人这样回答“不要想这些事情,你就好了”。 3.勇敢无畏 Conquer all fears. Timidity is a stumbling block to success. Entertain no superstition, based upon superficial observations, but accepts facts based only upon solid reason. Build not your foundation upon sand, but upon a rock. Once you overcome fear, you will have the strength in character to think, to resolve, and to act victorious. |
