If we view our lives as a juggling act or a sort of sporting contest, we learn to go along with the limitations and obstacles that are dealt us. We then find ways to make it through the event in good shape and with energy. Different talents and strengths will be called upon to get through the obstacles. Our faith, humor, and hope may be tested, but they are what keeps us going as we try to overcome the various obstacles.
Discrimination and prejudice are challenges. We force ourselves to work twice as hard as others; however, the rewards from our work are ours to enjoy. The important thing is to be working at something we find meaningful and worthwhile.
To succeed, you must accept challenges. There will always be barriers, cultural differences, and lack of understanding around us, but it is beneficial for us to stay together, be sensitive to each other needs, and to help each other. Maintaining cultural diversity and integrity is possible as a healthy community builds on teamwork, praise, pride and enthusiasm. Once, we are dedicated to improve critical skills such as knowledge sharing, collaboration, flexibility and risk taking, we will improve our future.
Together, we can make our world a better place in which to live by changing the way we and the rest of the population view it—positively. Let's make this challenge a reality.
面对生活中的尴尬和艰辛,我们应该轻易悲痛吗?或者,我们是否应该直面阻碍,接受它的挑战呢?选择不同的立场,可能使自己成为被压抑的牺牲品。不论发生什么事,我们都可以把它当成生活中某种不祥的征兆。很多时候,我们需要确定自己作出的选择,是受智慧的指引还是恐惧的驱使。
如果把生活比喻成杂耍,或是一种体育竞赛,我们就会认同那些设置的限制和阻碍,然后寻找方法,集中精力去跨越。我们需要不同的才能和力量以清除障碍;我们的信念、幽默和希望都可能受到考验,但它们在我们全力克服各种困难的过程中,促进了我们的成长。
