It takes strength to persist in the face of obstacles, when it would be much easier to simply give up.
It takes strength to be polite to someone when that person has been rude to you.
It takes strength to be truthful when a lie would be more convenient.
It takes strength to build for the future.
It takes strength to resist 1)temptations and 2)distractions.
It takes strength to do what is right.
It takes strength to do all these things. And 3)all the while, these are the very things that build even more strength.
Be truthful, do what you know is right, put forth effort when it is called for, persist, and the more you do so, the more easily you’ll be able to do so. Exercise your strength, and you’ll surely grow stronger, more 4)capable, and successful in each 5)endeavor.
當你要完成那必須做的,卻又是令人討厭、不悅的事時,那需要力量。
面對困阻時,徑直放棄更為容易,而堅持不懈,那需要力量。
以禮相待那些對你粗暴無禮的人,那需要力量。
說句謊言圖個方便,但要開誠布公,那需要力量。
創建未來,需要力量。
抵受誘惑紛擾,需要力量。
堅持真理,需要力量。
要做到上述所說,需要力量。然而一直以來,這正是增添力量的關鍵。
要坦誠,要做你認為對的事,當有需要時便應奮力而為,并堅持到底;你越是這樣,越會覺得游刃有余。鍛煉你內心的力量,你必將更強更能干,力所至,功畢成!
