迎战逆境

　　CONFRONT ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES

　　杨钊居士

　　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.

　　人生很多时候会遇到逆境，如何学会应付逆境的本领，实在是一门很高的学问。现在，全球经济危机，进而影响各行各业，迫于现实，特此探讨应付逆境之道。

　　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.

　　应付逆境，要在逆境中取得胜利，要过三关：一、心理关；二、知识关；三、实践关。

　　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:

　　心理或称心态关，在逆境的时候，必须保持正面的思维，保持信心，温家宝前总理说：「信心比黄金更重要」。习近平主席说：「只有信心不滑坡，办法总比困难多」。中国在抗日战争困难时期，即一九四四年九月，中共的领袖提出「我们的同志在困难的时候，要看到成绩，要看到光明，要提高我们的勇气」。假日在家翻查应付逆境的书籍，张立先生在「逆境求存」中，引用毛泽东的「诗词」：

　　“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.

　　「高天滚滚寒流急，大地微微暖气吹」，在最困难的时候，各方面逐步会形成共识，去应付急速的寒流，这股力量，就是寒流中的暖气。

　　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，必须唤醒自己内心的使命感和责任感，并建立不屈不挠、百折不挠的精神，建立「背水一战」的决心，只有这样，才能唤醒自己求生欲望，发挥潜意识的智慧和功能。

　　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，最差的方法是放弃和逃避，所以，当人们问，人生最大的失败是什么？答案是：放弃和逃避。

　　II. Knowledge barrier

　　二、知识

　　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.”

　　知识就是理论。如何迎战逆境？必须找出方法，寻找理论依据。自我心理必须过关，只有自己能建立正面的心态，才能凝聚正面心态的员工，跟着就是寻找和培养干部。具备正面的心态，在这个过程中，以身作则和少说多做，是最佳的方法，慢慢地就会影响周围的人，令他们逐步形成「迎战逆境」的决心，同赴逆境战场，在逆境中学习「应付逆境」的智慧和本领。
