I‘ve been there。

我也有過失敗。

You’ve been there。

你也有過失敗。

We‘ve all been there。

我們都有過失敗。

A big test or a competition is on the line。

一場大考或比賽迫在眉睫。

And you know you’ve put everything you had in preparation。

你知道你已經做好所有的準備了。

And yet, you still don‘t get the result you want。

然而,結果仍不如人意。

You don’t feel good。

你很失望。

You feel you‘ve failed。

你覺得你失敗了。

So, let’s take over this。

怎麼避免這種情緒呢?

First and foremost, let‘s define failure。

首先,讓我們來定義一下失敗。

If you’re expecting something super clean and clear, sorry to say, it‘s not。

如果你想要一個非常清晰明瞭的定義,那很抱歉,沒有。

Failure is a subjective thing, as is success。

失敗是主觀的,成功也是主觀的。

Every person defines it differently for themselves。

每個人對它的定義都不同。

For example, an interesting take on failure was stated by Thomas Edison, who said, I have not failed 10,000 times。

例如,托馬斯·愛迪生對失敗的看法就很有趣,他說:我這不是失敗了一萬次。

I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work。

我這是成功地找到了一萬種行不通的方法。

The definition is based on your values and expectations。

這個定義是基於你的價值觀和期望值。

And you are unique to you。

你,是獨一無二的。

Sometimes, though, we let outside parties, like friends or family, define it for us。

然而,有時朋友或家人等外部因素對其的定義會影響到我們。

Despite our very definitions of failure, the one common thing that we all share is the initial feeling of failing really sucks。

儘管我們對失敗有自己的定義,但我們都有一個共同點,那就是失敗一開始給人的感覺真的很糟。

So, let‘s look at several ways on how we could change our perspective on failure。

因此,讓我們一起來看看,如何改變我們對失敗的看法,這裡有幾種方法可供參考。

Take the edge off the sting。

脫掉失敗帶刺的外殼。

And make it work for us。

讓失敗成為我們前進的動力。

failure is your biggest teacher

失敗是人生最好的老師

Society really pushes emphasis on success and tends to ignore failure。

社會確實一直在強調成功,而忽視失敗。

Think of all the perfect lives we see posted everywhere on social media。

想想,我們在社交媒體上看到的別人的完美生活。

However, this does not provide any depth of knowledge, thus, benefit anyone。

然而,這樣的知識是沒有任何深度的,因此,沒人會從中受傷。

According to a research conducted by Madsen & Desai, failure can be your biggest teacher in life。

馬德森和德賽曾進行過一項研究,結果表明,失敗可能是一個人一生中最好的老師。

The research found that knowledge gained from failure lasts longer, and is often more impactful than knowledge gained from success。

研究發現,從失敗中獲得的知識持續時間更長,而且往往比從成功中獲得的知識影響力更大。

This can be illustrated with the flights of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger。

亞特蘭蒂斯號航天器和挑戰者號航天器就很好地說明了這一點。

In 2002, a piece of the Space Shuttle Atlantis broke off and caused damage。

2002年,亞特蘭蒂斯號航天器的一塊碎片脫落並對主體造成了一定的損壞。

But the damage didn’t hinder the mission。

但損壞並沒有阻礙這次任務。

As a result, there was little follow-up or investigation following the incident。

因此,事件發生後幾乎沒有什麼後續行動或調查。

A year later, during the flight of the space shuttle the Challenger,

一年後,在挑戰者號太空梭的飛行中,

another piece of the space shuttle broke off that was somewhat similar to the Atlantis。

又有一塊碎片脫落了,與先前亞特蘭蒂斯號的情形有些相似。

But this time, disaster ensued, resulting in the death of the astronauts and violent destruction of the shuttle。

但這一次,災難降臨了,宇航員死亡,太空梭也被毀。

This tragic incident prompted a major investigation, which resulted in 29 recommended changes to prevent future disasters。

這一悲慘事件促使政府立馬開展了一項重大調查,結果提出了29項改革建議,有效地預防了未來災難的發生。

In essence, failure can really be seen as an alternate term for learning opportunity。

從本質上講,失敗真的是一次很好的學習機會。

failure teaches you

to be kind to yourself

失敗教會我們要善待自己

Let‘s imagine。

讓我們想象一下。

What if your life is only made of a constant stream of success?

如果你的生活只有成功會怎樣?

Everything you do or try just falls into your lap。

你所做或嘗試的每一件事都會實現。

And you’ve known nothing but riches, wealth, and comfort。

你坐擁許多財富,享受著舒適的人生。

You‘ve never had to pull yourself up from an abyss or struggle to improve。

你從來不需要把自己從深淵中拉出來,也不需要為提高自己而掙扎。

When we never truly experience the grit of failure, this encourages taking everything for granted。

當我們從未真正體驗過失敗時,我們會認為一切都是理所當然的。

You don’t think。

你不會思考。

You just float along。

你只會隨波逐流。

Failure gives us the push to reevaluate the important things in our lives。

失敗給了我們重新評估生活中重要事物的動力。

Who are you?

你是誰?

And, how do you define yourself?

你如何定義自己呢?

It‘s a great chance for you to be kind to yourself and practice self-compassion。

失敗是一個很好的機會,讓你學會善待自己,學會自我同情。

Instead of judging and self-approving based on the materialistic or what you’ve done,

相比於基於物質主義或你所做的事情來評判和自我認可,

you learn to accept yourself just for what you already are at your core。

你更能從失敗中學會接受你自己,因為你就是自我的全部力量。

Dr。 Kristin Neff, a strong advocate for self-compassion, published a study。

克里斯汀·內夫博士是自我同情的堅定倡導者,他發表了一項研究。

Based on that study, students who practiced self-compassion after failing in an exam will proceed to study harder for future exams。

這項研究表明,那些在考試不及格後會自我同情的學生會為未來的考試更加努力地學習。

you can know success only if

you‘ve experienced failure

只有經歷過失敗,你才能瞭解成功

There is no light without the dark。

沒有黑暗就沒有光明。

We’ve heard the phrase。

我們都聽過這句話。

But what does it mean?

但這到底是什麼意思呢?

Similarly, by experiencing failure, you will obtain a better perspective on success。

換句話說,只有經歷失敗,你才會對成功有更好的看法。

The accumulation of failures over time gives you an increasingly better sense of what will probably work and what probably won‘t work。

隨著時間的推移,失敗的積累會讓你越來越好地瞭解什麼才是有用的,什麼是無用的。

And success is built upon this knowledge。

而成功就是建立在這種知識之上的。

This very perspective makes basketball superstar Michael Jordan the athlete that he is today。

正是這種視角塑造了籃球巨星邁克爾·喬丹的成功。

He says, I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career。

他曾說過,在我的職業生涯中,我錯失了9000多次投籃機會。

I‘ve lost almost 300 games。

我輸了將近300場比賽。

26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed。

有26次,人們相信我會投中制勝的一球,但我沒有。

I‘ve failed over and over again in my life。

在我的生活中,我失敗了一次又一次。

That’s why I succeed。

但這,就是我成功的原因。

failure isn‘t always

really failure

失敗並不總是真正的失敗

Did you know some of the most groundbreaking inventions we’ve had, happened when the inventors were researching something completely different?

你知道我們擁有的一些最具開創性的發明,其實一開始發明者研究的時候並不是想做這個東西嗎?

Some of these include super glue, microwave ovens, pacemakers, and even penicillin。

比如說,強力膠、微波爐、起搏器,甚至青黴素。

Essentially, they failed at their original goal。

從本質上說,他們未能達成最初的目標。

But considering what came out instead, can you really call that failure?

但是結果雖事與願違,卻是另一種意義上的成功。

failure is a step on the journey

not the end of it

失敗是旅途中的某一步,並不是終點

When you are faced with failure, this usually does not mean the end。

當你遭遇失敗時,這並不意味著你的這段旅途結束了。

Failure is a real and common experience。

失敗是一種真實而常見的經歷。

However, barring extreme circumstances, it‘s not a termination。

然而,除非出現極端情況,失敗並不是你的終點。

It’s part of the human condition and a natural occurrence that preps you to achieve success in the future。

這是人類必須經歷的一部分,是為你在未來取得成功做準備的自然事件。

Ever shop or browse online?

你有沒有在網上購物的經歷?

You‘ve probably heard of Jack Ma, co-founder of Alibaba Group。

你聽說過阿里巴巴集團的聯合創始人馬雲嗎?

The journey to the top wasn’t some fairytale golden path, either。

他通往頂峰的旅程也不是什麼童話般的黃金之路。

In a public event, he told the story of multiple failures in his life, which included being the sole individual not to get a job at a fast-food joint,

在一次公開活動中,他講述了自己一生中多次失敗的故事,包括,同輩中唯一一個沒有在快餐店找到工作的人,

rejection at being a hotel server, and applying to Harvard 10 times with a sound rejection each time。

找酒店服務員的工作被拒了,申請哈佛大學10次都被拒了。

Jack Ma reflected that the experiences of these failures prepared him for the path to becoming a CEO later on。

馬雲說道,正是這些失敗的經歷為他後來成為CEO做足了準備。

Failure is a chance to learn。

失敗是一個學習的機會。

And although it doesn‘t feel very good at the time, a change in perspective can help turn it into a climbing hold,

儘管當時感覺不是很好,但換個角度,可以讓其變成你攀巖路上的一個支撐點,

instead of a rock blocking your path。

而不是一塊擋路的石頭。

We understand, though, that sometimes when you face failures in your life, you may become debilitated。

然而,我們都明白,有時當你面對生活中的失敗時,你可能會變得脆弱。

These can hit you hard。

失敗可能會對你造成很大的打擊。

Now that you know bouncing back is a very real option, seek professional assistance if you need it, so that you can continue onwards and upwards。

而且失敗很有可能會反彈,所以如果你需要的話,可以去尋求專業的幫助,讓你在人生路上繼續大步向前。
