When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his spirit, toughen his nature and enhance his abilities.
天降降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身,行拂乱其所为,所以动心忍性,曾益其所不能。
孟子的《生于忧患,死于安乐》。这篇文章出自《孟子·告子下》。
大概的意思是:所以上天将要降落重大责任在这样的人身上,一定要道先使他的内心痛苦,使他的筋骨劳累,使他经受饥饿,以致肌肤消瘦,使他受贫困之苦,使他做的事颠倒错乱,总不如意,通过那些来使他的内心警觉,使他的性格坚定,增加他不具备的才能。
生于忧患 死于安乐Thrive in calamity or adversity and perish in soft living ; (life springs from sorrow and calamity, death comes from ease and pleasure ) Why it’s good for people to grow up in adverse circumstances?
逆境 险境 绝境(hopeless )(favourable )
回顾历史,我们知道,文王拘而演周易, 仲尼厄而作春秋;屈原放逐, 乃赋离骚,左丘失明, 厥有国语;孙子膑脚, 兵法修列,不韦迁蜀, 世传吕览。相对于顺境,逆境更能够锻炼人,使人坚强. (temper someone to make him strong) 天行健 君子以自强不息
As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-perfection!
2,正视现实,我们应该看到,人本身都有好逸恶劳(indolent/ love ease and hate work)的本性,顺境容易使人丧失追求(lose your pursuit)的意愿,沉缅于前辈的积荫之中,不思进取(make no attempt to make progress) ;而在逆境中,人才会自觉地去奋发图强(strive to be strong /work with stamina and diligence)(make self-improvement to be self-reliable),才会有明确的目标,知道自己要干什么,然后走出自己的人生。(you know what you want to do,then you will try to do what you want to do)
3,居安思危 think of adversity in prosperity
Encourage conquer(Julius Caesar 凯撒大帝) cesarean section
4.seek advantages and avoid disadvantages趋易避难(seek easy things and avoid difficulties)是每个人的本性,身处顺境时,这种本性会使人有意避开(keep away from)困难,使各方面能力得不到锻炼。而在逆境中,人们摆脱逆境的欲望极大的激发了自己的主观能动性和潜力(our desire to ged rid of this adversity circumstances will stimulate our potentials so as to achieve our goal ),为人们的成长提供了强大的动力(offer great motive force for our growing up)
5. 只有经历过逆境的人,才懂的什么是拼搏,什么是成长,什么是珍惜。当今社会环境错综复杂,竞争日益激烈,只有通过逆境培养良好的社会适应力,才能不被社会所淘汰。
