5 该放手时就放手
When Harry, Hermione, and Ron began their search for horcruxes, they let the urgency to complete the mission distract them from organizing a solid plan. They wasted more time arguing than looking. While they should have asked for help, they should have also known when to give up and approach the search from another angle.
在哈利、赫敏和罗恩开始他们寻找魂器之旅时,他们没有制定详实的计划,而是走一步是一步。一路上他们吵架的时间比干正事的时间还要多。有的时候他们就应该求助,某条路行不通的时候其实应该换个角度来看问题。
The lesson here isn’t to give up when the going gets tough; it’s to know when to give up and admit defeat when you have tried everything you can do. If you’re facing a tough and difficult situation, don't let it exhaust you to the point where all your efforts actually prolong the problem and waste your resources. Instead, if you can, ask for help or step back for a few moments to clear your head and approach the situation from a fresher perspective. Things will work out in the end.
这一课教会我们不要钻牛角尖,行不通的时候应该换种方式看问题;当你把你能想到的所有方法都尝试过之后还没法达到目的的话,你该了解什么时候该放弃,承认失败不丢脸。如果你正面临焦灼的局面,而你花上所有精力来解决问题的方式只是拖延时间的话,这个时候你就该向别人求助或后退几步想清楚,换一种看问题的方式。只有这样问题才能得到解决。
