迎戰逆境

　　CONFRONT ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES

　　楊钊居士

　　By Charles Yeung Translated by Soula Lo

　　There are times we might encounter an adverse circumstance in our life. How to learn the skills to deal with an adverse circumstance is a kind of profound knowledge. Nowadays, the global economic crisis affects all occupations. Due to the reality of the present situation, I would like to discuss the methods of dealing with such an adverse circumstance.

　　人生很多時候會遇到逆境，如何學會應付逆境的本領，實在是一門很高的學問。現在，全球經濟危機，進而影響各行各業，迫于現實，特此探討應付逆境之道。

　　To deal with an adverse circumstance, and overcome these kinds of situations, we have to break through three barriers:

　　Mental barrier.

　　Knowledge barrier.

　　Practice barrier.

　　應付逆境，要在逆境中取得勝利，要過叁關：一、心理關；二、知識關；叁、實踐關。

　　I. Mental or attitude barrier

　　一、心理

　　When we encounter an adverse circumstance, we must maintain positive thinking and have faith. China”s prime minister Wen Jiabao said, “Faith is more important than gold.” China”s vice chairman Xi Jinping also said, “As long as our faith is not falling, the solutions are always more than the difficulties.” In September 1944, while China was in a very difficult time in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the leader of the People”s Republic of China addressed, “When we are in the difficult times, our comrades must have a vision for success, must be able to see the light, and must enhance our courage.” While browsing through books about how to deal with an adverse circumstance, I found Mao Zedong”s poem that Mr. Chang Li quotes in his article, Seek Survival in an adverse circumstance:

　　心理或稱心態關，在逆境的時候，必須保持正面的思維，保持信心，溫家寶前總理說：「信心比黃金更重要」。習近平主席說：「只有信心不滑坡，辦法總比困難多」。中國在抗日戰爭困難時期，即一九四四年九月，中共的領袖提出「我們的同志在困難的時候，要看到成績，要看到光明，要提高我們的勇氣」。假日在家翻查應付逆境的書籍，張立先生在「逆境求存」中，引用毛澤東的「詩詞」：

　　“Although the sky is churning, the current is chilly and rapid; the earth is still blowing the warm and gentle breeze.” When we are in the most difficult time, it will gradually create a common consensus from all directions, to deal with the rapid chilly current. This power is the warm and gentle breeze in the chilly current.

　　「高天滾滾寒流急，大地微微暖氣吹」，在最困難的時候，各方面逐步會形成共識，去應付急速的寒流，這股力量，就是寒流中的暖氣。

　　During adverse circumstances, we have to awake the sense of commitment and responsibility bearing deep in our heart, and establish a persistent and undaunted spirit to fight with the resolution of “either win or die.” Only this way, can we awake our desire for survival; bring out wisdom and capability from our subconscious.

　　在逆境，必須喚醒自己內心的使命感和責任感，並建立不屈不撓、百折不撓的精神，建立「背水一戰」的決心，只有這樣，才能喚醒自己求生欲望，發揮潛意識的智慧和功能。

　　While in adverse circumstances, the worst thing to do is to give up and run away; therefore, if people ask, “what is the worst failure in life

　　” The answer would be, “give up and run away.”

　　在逆境之中，最差的方法是放棄和逃避，所以，當人們問，人生最大的失敗是什麼？答案是：放棄和逃避。

　　II. Knowledge barrier

　　二、知識

　　This means theories. How to confront an adverse circumstance

　　 We have to find the right methods, and search for the right ways that are based upon good theories. First, we have to overcome the mental barrier. Only when we have established a positive attitude ourselves, can we gather the staff who also have a positive attitude, and to search and cultivate more cadre members. Upon having a positive attitude in the whole process, we must set an example; less talk and more action is the best method. Gradually, we will affect people around us, so they would also establish the determination to “confront the adverse circumstance,” fight together in the adverse battlefield, and learn the wisdom and capability of “dealing with the adverse circumstance.”

　　知識就是理論。如何迎戰逆境？必須找出方法，尋找理論依據。自我心理必須過關，只有自己能建立正面的心態，才能凝聚正面心態的員工，跟著就是尋找和培養幹部。具備正面的心態，在這個過程中，以身作則和少說多做，是最佳的方法，慢慢地就會影響周圍的人，令他們逐步形成「迎戰逆境」的決心，同赴逆境戰場，在逆境中學習「應付逆境」的智慧和本領。
