Don't worry if you have problems!
Which is easy to say until you are in the midst of a really big one, I know.
But the only people I am aware of who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. Most communities have at least one. We call them cemeteries.
If you're breathing, you have difficulties. It's the way of life. And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain.
Maybe you have seen the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," a traveler observed. "Why is this?"
The guide gave an interesting answer: "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves, storms -- surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of its life. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces." Then he added this telling note: "That's the way it is with every living organism."
That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness. So, you have problems -- no problem! Just tell yourself, "Here I grow again "
如果你遇到了难题，请不要焦虑！
我知道，这只是说起来容易做起来难。
我想只有那些进了坟墓的才会没有难题了吧。
只要活着，就会有困难。这是生活的方式。而且无论你相信与否，你遇到的大部分困难都会对你有益。我来解释一下吧。
也许你已经参观过“大堡礁”，从几内亚到澳大利亚绵延1，800英里。导游会定期带游客参观该珊瑚礁。有一次，一名游客向导游提了一个有意思的问题：“我注意到，泻湖一边的珊瑚礁看起来很苍白，没有生气。而海洋一边的珊瑚礁则是艳丽夺目的。这是为什么呢？”
导游的答案也很远意思：“泻湖一边的珊瑚礁依然在水里，它们不必为了生存而斗争。所以，它们早早的就失去了生命。而海洋一边的珊瑚礁则要不断接受风、海浪、暴风雨等力量的考验。每天，它们都要为了生存而做斗争。在挑战和考验中，它们发生了变化，适应了新的环境。它们变得健康而且强壮。接着，它们有了再生的能力。”然后，他又补充了一句：“这是每一个生命有机体存活的方式。”
该法则同样适用于人类。挑战和考验让我们生机勃勃！我们成长着，如同被大海撞击的珊瑚礁。身体的需要能够让我们变得强壮。思想和情感的压力能够让我们变得意志坚强、有韧性。精神的考验能够加强个性的和忠实度。所以，只要告诉你自己“我又成长了”，你的困难就不再是困难！
