雙語智慧書·知道怎樣依靠自己

167．知道怎樣依靠自己
　　知道怎樣依靠自己。危難之時，勇敢的心就是最好的伙伴。如果心開始脆弱，最好用靠近它的器官來加強。意志堅定的人，憂慮自然就會消失。千萬別向苦難投降，否則不幸會讓你無法忍受。面對困境時，很多人不自救，且不懂得怎樣去忍受，于是苦上加苦。了解自己的人懂得如何加強自己的弱項；明智之人可以征服一切，甚至包括他們的命運。


167．Know how to take your own part
　Know how to take your own part. In great crises there is no better companion than a bold heart, and if it becomes weak it must be strengthened from the neighbouring parts. Worries die away before a man who asserts himself. One must not surrender to misfortune, or else it would become intolerable. Many men do not help themselves in their troubles, and double their weight by not knowing how to bear them. He that knows himself knows how to strengthen his weakness, and the wise man conquers everything, even the stars in their courses.
