网球健将 Billy Jean King 有句名言: Champions take chances, and pressure is a privilge. 我这阵子才真正地体会了这句话的真谛。
为了工程的可靠性运行测试，我们尽力了。但天有不测之风云。由于外来因素，我们失败了。只要多三个小时就可能达到的成功，一瞬间却在眼前消失了。我们当然不想放弃。我们仔细地剖析合约，和政府争辩了一轮又一轮。机会虽然渺茫，我却一次又一次地鞭策自己: Champions take chances. We took all the chances we could; we fought relentlessly.
但付出也可能看不到结果. We failed.
就这样，整个月的努力前功尽弃了。我们必须从新开始。而之一次，路途可能更艰辛，考验可能更严峻。灰心, 是理所当然的。但我会坚持到底。Pressure is a privilege. I just have to trust that it will ultimately make me a stronger man - professionally and personally.
This difficult period will eventually come to pass. The sun will continue to rise and set; darkness will be broken by the light of dawn. Life remains beautiful and worth the living. I know it is.
