在困境中寻找成功的萌芽 (上)

__引言：

灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。

任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。

There is no better school than adversity.

逆境是一所最好的学校。

Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time.

每一次失败，每一次打击，每一次损失，都蕴育着成功的萌芽，都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。

Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes.

我再也不会逃避现实，也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验，我不再因此而促成自己的失败。

Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.

因为我知道，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，没有，我也不能完善自我。
