Learning to handle obstacles is the best way to stand your ground and succeed. While running away only undermines your self-esteem.
Nature presents you with these challenges in order to learn to weather the storm and grow stronger.
To succeed at overcoming obstacles you need to have the gut not to quit， but to see things through， to have the strong faith to believe more in yourself than in the obstacles and to have the willingness to do what it takes to turn the obstacles around.
This means， you need to stand up to your obstacles and believe you can overcome them. When you attack your obstacles and do something about them， you' ll find that they are not as threatening as they appeared to be at first.
Decide that you will not give up and if something has to give， it will have to be the obstacles and not you.
Standing up to your obstacles imparts you with a sense of accomplishment and reinforces the sense of your inner power. By developing a habit of facing resistance， you instill into your psyche a strong message of endurance and success. This strengthens the faith and the belief in yourself， which helps remind you of the responsibility to yourself.
Sometimes you may have to resort to some other measures to overcome obstacles. If you can' t get through the problem， try going around it， and if you can' t go around it， try getting under it， and if you can' t get under it， try going over it， and if you can' t go over it， just dive straight into it.
回顧一下，在你生命中的某一時刻，你突然靈光一閃，並衝動地想要作出一個重大改變。你會努力爭取實現，還是會被內心的障礙阻止了腳步呢？
你的思想和信仰是成功的基礎。在泥土和殘骸上，你無法建造出一棟結實的房子，成功也是同樣的道理。
如果你的思想和信仰搖搖欲墜，如果你不清除內心的障礙，它們就會阻礙你前進。
學會清理障礙是立足於大地並獲得成功的最好辦法，而逃避隻會有損於你的自尊。
大自然將這些挑戰呈現在你麵前，是為了讓你經受風雨的磨煉，然後更茁壯地成長。
要成功地清除障礙，你需要有決不放棄的勇氣，要看清事物的本質。相對於那些障礙，對自己要擁有更強大的信念，還要有清除障礙所必需的主動性。
這意味著你必須勇敢地對抗自身的障礙，要相信自己一定能征服。當你向這些障礙發起攻擊並有所行動時，就會發現它們並不像最初看上去的那樣可怕。
下定決心，永不放棄。如果一定要有一方讓步的話，那一定是障礙，而不是你。
與你的障礙對抗，你將獲得一種成就感，它會使你內心的力量變得強大。培養一種直麵反抗困難的好習慣。你就可以慢慢地給心靈灌輸一種忍耐和成功的強大信念。這會使你自身的信仰和信心有所增加，從而有助於提醒你對自己負責。
要清除障礙，有時你還要采取其他辦法。如果你不能掃除障礙，就試著繞過去；如果無法繞過去，那就控製它；如果控製不了，那就跳過去；如果無法跳過，那就徑直衝過去。

失敗者的學校
A School for Failures
塞隆·Q. 迪蒙 / Theron Q. Dumont
The man that is chosen at the crucial time is not usually a genius； he does not possess any more talent than others， but he has learned that results can only be produced by untiring concentrated effort. That "miracles，" in business do not just "happen." He knows that the only way they will happen is by sticking to a proposition and seeing it through. That is the only secret of why some succeed and others fail. The successful man gets used to seeing things accomplished and always feels sure of success. The man that is a failure gets used to seeing failure， expects it and attracts it to him.
It is my opinion that with the right kind of training every man could be a success. It is really a shame that so many men and women， rich in ability and talent， are allowed to go to waste， so to speak. Some day I hope to see a millionaire philanthropist start a school for the training of failures. I am sure he could not put his money to a better use. In a year' s time the science of practical psychology could do wonders for him. He could have agencies on the lookout for men that had lost their grip on themselves； that had through indisposition weakened their will； that through some sorrow or misfortune had become discouraged.
At first all they need is a little help to get them back on their feet， but usually they get a knock downwards instead. The result is that their latent powers never develop and both they and the world are the losers. I trust that in the near future， someone will heed the opportunity of using some of his millions in arousing men that have begun to falter. All they need to be shown is that there is within them an omnipotent source that is ready to aid them， providing they will make use of it. Their minds only have to be turned from despair to hope to make them regain their hold.
When a man loses his grip today， he must win his redemption by his own will. He will get little encouragement or advice of an inspiring nature. He must usually regain the right road alone. He must stop dissipating his energies and turn his attention to building a useful career. Today we must conquer our weakening tendencies alone. Don' t expect anyone to help you. Just take one big brace， make firm resolutions， and resolve to conquer your weaknesses and vices. Really none can do this for you. They can encourage you； that is all.
I can think of nothing， but lack of health， that should interfere with one becoming successful. There is no other handicap that you should not be able to overcome. To overcome a handicap， all that it is necessary to do is to use more determination and grit and will.
The man with grit and will， may be poor today and wealthy in a few years； will power is a better asset than money； Will will carry you over chasms of failure， if you but give it the chance.
