The Lesson of the Bamboo Trees
When I think about the bamboo 'tree's ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word "resilience comes to mind. When used in reference to a person this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's emotions.
Have you ever felt like you are about to snap? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained,mentally exhausted and you most likely endured unpleasant physical symptoms.
Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point,show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
竹子的启示
当我想起竹子可以反弹并回到原位的能力的时候，我总想起“有弹性”这个词。 当形容人的时候，这个词的意思是可以很快地从打击、抑郁以及其他挑战人的情感极限的情况中恢复过来的能力。
你是否曾经觉得自己快要被压断了?你是否曾经觉得自己几乎要崩溃了?感谢上苍，你已经战胜了那段经历，能活着讨论它。
在那段经历里，你也许会觉得一种复杂的情绪影响了你的健康。你觉得精神消耗殆尽，筋疲力尽，很有可能你还 要忍受身体上一些非常不适的症状。生活就是高峰和低谷、快乐和不快乐的混合体。下次，当你又要面对那些让你几近崩溃的低潮和不快乐时，弯下腰，但不要被折断。尽你最大的努力不要被击败。
一点希望能让你挺过不快乐的苦难。对一个更好的明天或更好的情况抱着希望，事情也许就不像看起来那么糟糕了。如果最终的结果值得拥有，那么那些不快乐的苦难也许就容易应付多了。
如果一路走来异常艰辛，你几乎无法承受了，那么就展现你的弹性吧。就像竹子，可以弯曲，但不会折断!
