如果大家把我们现在遇到的困难认为是人生中最大的挫折的话,那也只是大题小做。我们对于挫折的理解,就像对爱情的朦胧无知一样,正真的挫折可能还比我们现在的情形复杂上千,上万倍。看一下林肯的一生,你便会理解什么叫做正真的挫折和微笑的力量。
If you consider the difficulties we are facing as the biggest setback in our life, it is just a fuss. Our understanding of setbacks is just like our hazy ignorance of love. The true setbacks may be thousands or thousands of times more complicated than our current situation. If you look at Lincoln's life, you will understand what is the power of true setbacks and smiles.
