Success Is a Choice
All of us ought to be able to prepare for the predictable challenges and setbacks that crop up every day. If we expect that life won't be perfect, we'll be able to avoid an impelling force to quit. But even if you are strong enough to persist through the obstacle course of life and work, sometimes you will encounter an harmful event that will completely knock you on your back.
Whether it's a financial loss, the loss of respect of your peers or loved ones, or some other traumatic event in your life these major setbacks leave you doubting yourself and wondering if things can ever change for the better again.
Adversity happens to all of us, and it happens all the time. Some form of major adversity is either going to be there or it's lying in wait just around the corner. To ignore adversity is to yield to the ultimate self-delusion.
But you must recognize that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved greatness despite facing difficulties so steep that they easily could have crushed their spirit and left them lying in the dust. Moses was a stutterer, yet he was called on to be the voice of God. Abraham Lincoln over-
came a difficult childhood, depression, the death of two sons,and constant ridicule during the Civil War to become arguably our greatest president ever. Helen Keller made an impact on the world despite being deaf, dumb, and blind from an early age. Franklin Roosevelt had polio.
There are endless examples. These were people who not only looked adversity in the face but learned valuable lessons about overcoming difficult circumstances and were able to move ahead.

我们每个人都应做好准备迎接每天的挫折和挑战。如果我们相信生活并非十全十美，我们就能避免一时冲动放弃追求。但即使你意志坚强，能够挺过生活、工作中的困难，有时你也会遇到逆境，它会让你大吃一惊。
无论你出现了经济损失，还是失去同辈及亲人的尊敬，或是遭受生命重创，这些大挫折都会使你对自己产生怀疑，并怀疑情况是否会再好转。
