What︵is the secret ingredient︵of tough people▼ that enables them to succeed?↘ Why do they survive the tough times▼ when others are overcome by them? ↘Why do they win when others lose? ↘ Why do they soar when others sink?↘ The answer is very simple. It's all︵in how they perceive their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem-free life is︵an︵illusion-a mirage︵in the desert. Accept that fact. Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups︵ and downs,↗ its peaks︵ and its valleys.↘ No one is︵ up all the time,↘ nor︵ are they down all the time. Problems do end. They are all resolved︵ in time. You may not be able to control the times, but you can compose︵ your response. You can turn your pain︵ into profanity -or into poetry. The choice︵ is︵ up to you. You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will react to it. For instance, ↗ what is the positive reaction▼ to a terrible financial setback?↘ In this situation↗ would it be the positive reaction to cop︵out and run︵away?↗ Escape through alcohol, ↗ drug,↗ or suicide?↘ No! Such negative reactions only produce greater problems▼ by promising a temporary solution to the pressing problem. The positive solution to a problem▼ may require courage to initiate it. When you control your reaction to the seemingly un-controllable problem︵of life, then︵ in fact you do control the problem's effect︵ on you. Your reaction to the problem is the last word! That's the bottom line. What will︵ you let this problem do to you?↘ It can make you tender↗ or tough.↘ It can make you better↗ or bitter.↘ It all depends︵ on you. In the final︵ analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so▼ because they've chosen to react positively▼ to their predicament. Tough times never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick︵ it︵ out. History teaches︵ us that every problem has︵ a lifespan. No problem︵ is permanent. Storms︵ always give︵ way to the sun. Winter always thaws︵ into springtime. Your storm will pass. Your winter will thaw. Your problem will be solved.参考译文人人有本难念的经 坚韧不拨的人成功的秘诀是什么？他们为什么能挺过艰难的时刻，而其他人却被困难所压倒？为什么成功的是他们，而失败的是其他人？为什么他们。
