“When you experience a difficult period, there’s nothing wrong with crying a little, but you have to soldier on,” said the late billionaire Charlie Munger. “You can cry, all right. But you can’t quit.” Munger noted that challenging times are unavoidable in everyone’s life. What matters is how you deal with them and then move on.
On the surface, Munger’s life may have appeared perfect. He was a successful lawyer and investor, extremely wealthy, and he lived a long, seemingly happy life. But his struggles and sadness were intense: a divorce in his 20s, blindness in one eye due to failed surgery and the death of his 9-year-old son Teddy, who had leukemia (白血病).
“Your ability to recover from struggles or disappointments, whether in your personal life or career, is essential for your success and happiness in the long run,” experts say. Often, that can mean properly feeling sad or processing your disappointment before moving forward. As Munger noted, crying can be a healthy way of doing that. It literally helps you let go of emotional suffering through the release of endorphins (内啡肽), research shows. In contrast, repressing (压抑) those emotions can make a variety of mental and physical health problems severer.
“The iron rule of life is: Everybody struggles,” Munger said. People who have the strength to carry on are more likely to live happily, sometimes, learning a valuable lesson in the process. “It’s your only option. You can’t bring back the dead. You can’t cure the dying child. You can’t do all kinds of things,” added Munger. “You have to move forward.”
