2023年5月inHIM系列 | 堅固 Fortify

我们常听到，成人的奔溃就在一瞬间。一根稻草之力足以摧毁连续累计的失望。你呢，还记得上一次的奔溃是在什么时候吗？是什么原因击垮你？

We often hear that the collapse of an adult can happen in an instant. A single straw is enough to destroy the cumulative weight of disappointments. Do you remember the last time you had a breakdown? What caused it to bring you down?

古人云：“不如意事常八九，可与语人无二三。” 说的正是人生在世，经历的事情十件有八九件是不如人意的，但是能与之倾诉的人却少之又少。每当不如意来临时，你内心的回应机制是如何？沉溺在怨天尤人中，还是即便难受也咬咬牙转化负能量？

As the ancients said, there are many things in the world that don't go as planned, but finding someone to confide in can be difficult. When faced with disappointment, how do you typically respond? Do you wallow in self-pity, or do you try to transform the negative energy into something positive, even when it's difficult?

你内心是坚不可摧还是一击即破，就要看你的根基有多稳固？ 

Whether you are unyielding or easily defeated depends on how strong your foundation is.

其实，往往是那些“看不见的”决定“看得见的”。人生这个智慧的建筑师已经立好了根基，在乎你挖掘得有多深，读懂多少？我们就像工人在这根基上建造，你读不懂的话，或许会选择柔软易碎的草、木、禾秸的材料；当你全心地细品与领受时，或许你会选择那坚硬的金、银、宝石材料。每一次的建造都不可以掉以轻心，因为每个人的工程都将被显露，每次的环境都好比火的试验，验收各人工程的品质，经得起考验的工程必获人生这位智慧师的奖赏；否则，毁于一旦受亏损也是迟早的事。

In fact, it is often the “invisible things" that determine the “visible outcomes". Life, this wise architect, has already laid the foundation. It's up to you how deeply you dig and how much you understand. We are like workers building on this foundation, if you don't understand, you may choose soft and fragile materials like grass, wood, or straw. When you fully appreciate and receive your life lessons, you may choose hard materials like gold, silver, and precious stones. Each one should build with care, because everyone's work will be revealed, and every environment is like a test of fire that will test the quality of each person's work. The projects that stand the test of time will be rewarded by this wise architect of life, while those that fail will suffer losses sooner or later.

愿每个环境都成为验收你工程的最佳见证，也是加固你工程的最佳方式，选择金、银、宝石或许代价很高，但其坚固能守住原本属于你的疆界，让你实实在在地被建立。 

May every environment become the best witness to your work and the best way to reinforce it. Choosing gold, silver, and precious stones may come at a high cost, but their strength can protect the boundaries that belong to you and allow you to be truly established.

5月，inHIM推出“坚固Fortify”系列，愿你的每次的建造都是不断坚固的过程，更多读懂及领会人生这位建筑师的智慧！

In May, inHIM launched the “Fortify” collection, hoping that every construction you undertake will be a continuous process of fortification, and that you will gain a deeper understanding of the wisdom of the architect of life!
