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?
The answer is very simple. It's all in 56 they perceive their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem - free life is 57 illusion—a mirage (海市蜃楼) in the desert. Accept that fact. Life has its ups and downs, its peaks and its 58 (valley). No 59 the time. You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will react to it. Would it be the reaction to escape and run away? Escape 60 alcohol, drug or suicide? No! Such negative reactions only produce greater problems by 61 (promise) a temporary “solution” to the pressing problem. The positive solution to a problem may require courage 62 (initiate) it. When you control your reaction to the seemingly 63 (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.
In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so because they've chosen to react 64 (positive) to their tough times. 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 turns into springtime. Your storm will pass. Your winter will pass. Your problem 65 (solve).
