痛苦 反思=进步

对于此刻正在中国经历这段艰难时期的人们，我深感难过和同情。我希望我可以帮助地更多一些。现在很可能不是谈论哲学的时候，但是我确实深信困难时刻对于让人们去深刻反思是颇有价值的。换句话说，我的经历让我意识到“痛苦+反思=进步”，所以我强烈建议大家去反思什么对你来说是最重要的、现实是如何运作的、你应该如何去应对、以及那些你关心的人应该如何应对等等。在这样艰难的时期，对你曾经认为是理所当然地拥有、但其实可能会被迫失去的事物心存感激，能帮助你调整考虑问题的角度。在这样艰难的时期，你可以看清楚谁是你真正的朋友。同时，你也可以反思我们可以做些什么去掌控这个局面，比如对于未知情况如何制定应急计划，这可以增强你的能力。

 

你不能改变所面对的现实，但是你可以很好地应对它们并最大化地去从中成长。

I am deeply sorry for and sympathetic with those of you in China who are goingthrough this very difficult time. I wish that I could help more. Most probably this is not the time to be philosophical.  However, Ido deeply believe that bad times can be some of the most valuable times forpeople to reflect well.  In other words I have found that pain +reflection = progress.  I urge you to reflect on what matters most to you,how reality works, what you should do, what others who you care about shoulddo, etc.  During such difficult times, deep appreciations for what youhave that you took for granted and that could be taken away can help you putthings in perspective.  During such difficult times you can see who yourreal friends are. Also reflecting on how what you can do to navigate this wellincluding how to contingency plan for the unknown can strengthen yourcapabilities.  

You can’t change the realities you face but you can handlethem well and you can make the most of them.
