參考譯文
生活是很艱難的。
一旦我們瞭解並接受了它，生活就變得不再那麼難了，這是一個偉大的現實。但是很多人不能完全明白這個事實。相反，他們總是抱怨他們的問題和困難，好像生活應該是容易的。對他們來說，那些苦難代表了一種強加給他們的或是他們家人、朋友甚至國家的磨難。
面對和解決苦難的過程是痛苦的，這就讓生活變得艱難了。那些問題，由於本質不同，帶給我們悲傷、孤獨、遺憾、憤怒或是害怕。這些令人難受的感覺，總是像那些肉體的疼痛一樣帶給我們傷害。既然生活總要有無止境的嚴重問題要處理，生活於是就變得艱難，充滿了歡喜也有痛苦。
是的，就是在這個解決問題的過程中，生活變得有意義了。那些問題是嚴肅的考驗，從中我們知道失敗是成功之母。我們鼓勵人性的成長的同時，就是鼓勵人們提高解決問題的能力，就像我們在學校裡設定問題讓學生們解決一樣。正是在這些面對並解決問題的痛苦中，我們學習。本傑明·富蘭克林說過：“那些事情痛苦，但是有教育意義。”就是基於此，聰明的人學著不再懼怕困難，而是去迎接解決問題的'苦難。
