上天将要降落重大责任在这样的人身上，一定要道先使他的内心痛苦，使他的筋骨劳累，使他经受饥饿，以致肌肤消瘦，使他受贫困之苦，使他做的事颠倒错乱，总不如意，通过那些来使他的内心警觉，使他的性格坚定，增加他不具备的才能。 身处逆境之中，不仅仅是“劳其筋骨，饿其体肤”，在肉体上经历与“温室”中不同的体验；更有“苦其心志”，在精神上历经和“顺境”中迥异的磨砺：“空乏其身”，使其无所依；“行拂乱其所为”，使其不知所措，无所适从；这一切的过程将达成一个结果，也是走出逆境的根本途径：“所以动心忍性”，“增益其所不能”，自身的性情、智慧和能力将在这个过程中得到磨炼和提升。 这个过程也许只是一瞬，也许将艰难而漫长。身处其间，往往茫然无措，丧失勇气和信心、迷失前进的方向。这个时候，要保持心态的从容，谈何容易；这个时候，保持心态的从容，难能可贵，尤为必要。
This is in fact very applicable for most 'struggling' but focused entrepreneurs.. it is what I keep reminding myself..
in short, my no doubt inadequate translation:
" if the heaven has a great task to be given to the wise man, he would be tested both physically and mentally until he almost can't bear it before he would be given reward."
I just wonder how would that fit with those 'entrepreneurs' who keep changing everytime I meet them even 3months down the line!? (ok some have rather daft ideas, good that they do)..
But of course, I might be the really stupid type as I have worked on GamBond® for the last 6 years. and everyone tells me to give up, and maybe I should, unless after meeting Warren buffet tells me to give up, I will and shall not!
