生活充满了起起落落。但是我们拥有韧性——从困境中恢复的能力，我们就更容易克服逆境并走向成功。好消息是：我们每个人都能培养韧性。下面讲述的是如何培养韧性：
Learning to Recover
学会恢复

You need to know what resilience is so that you can remember that you have it. Resilience is an emotional muscle that can grow with use and practice -- or become weak if ignored.
你得知道“韧性”是什么意思，才能记住自己是拥有这个特点的。韧性是情感肌肉，用得越多，练得越多，就越强壮，不加理会则会萎缩。
Everyone can grow this emotional muscle. Everyone needs to.
每个人都可以练好这块情感肌。每个人也都必须练好。
You are born with some resilience. You have the choice how to apply it throughout your life. To grow resilience you need fuel, you need challenge and you need lots of practice.
你天生就拥有一些韧性。你可以选择终生都使用它。培养韧性需要燃料，需要挑战和大量的练习。
Some people believe that resilience is a trait that is inborn; you either have it or you don't. But that is not quite accurate. You are born with some component characteristics that help the development of resilience. For example, there is a contribution that temperament makes to the acquisition of resilience; some people are simply born with less reactivity to stress. It makes them more hardy in the face of adversity and better able to draw on their cognitive abilities in situations that throw others off balance.
有些人相信韧性是先天的特点，有就有，没有就没有。其实这种说法并不确切。你天生就具有一些特点，可以有助于韧性的培养。比如说，性格对于韧性的获得是有帮助的；有些人天生就对压力没有那么强烈的反应。这样他们面对逆境时就会更加坚强，也能够在一些情况下更好地利用自己的认知能力，换了别人，早就已经不知所措了。
