P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 506
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Perseverance is sometimes but another word for self-reliance. Many persons naturally look on the dark side of life, and borrow trouble. They are born so. Then they ask for advice, and they will be governed by one wind and blown by another, and cannot rely upon themselves. Until you get so that you can rely upon yourself, you need not expect to succeed. I have known men personally who have met with pecuniary reverses, and absolutely committed suicide, because they thought they could never overcome their misfortune. But I have known others who have met more serious financial difficulties, and have bridged them over by simple perseverance, aided by a firm belief that they were doing justly, and that Providence would “overcome evil with good.” You will see this illustrated in any sphere of life.

白话
坚持有时就是自力更生的另一个说法。很多人天生爱往坏处想，自找麻烦，遇事就问别人，结果被东风吹西风吹，拿不定主意，也信不过自己。巴纳姆说，你如果不能依靠自己，就别指望成功。他见过有人因财务挫折就自杀，觉得再也翻不了身；也见过有人困难更大，却靠简单坚持和“自己在做正当的事”的信念挺了过来。所以，遇事别先垮掉，稳住自己，一步步撑过去。

遇到挫折时，你是先四处问意见、被别人的话带着走，还是能稳住自己拿主意？
