Take the long view
從長遠的角度看
Discouragement generally occurs when our expectations (what we think should happen) don’t align with reality (what actually happens). In many cases our expectations are unrealistic, and this often has to do with how long we think things should happen. If we take a longer view, and relax our expectations a little, it can really help to decrease discouragement. The reality is that most things that are worthwhile take a lot of effort and time to come to fruition. So be patient!
當我們的期望(我們覺得應該發生的事情)沒有變成現實(實際發生的事情)，我們就會失望。在很多情況下，我們的期望都是不切實際的，這也和我們對時間的預估有著一定的關係。如果我們從長遠去看，放低一下期望，也能有效減輕我們的失落感。事實是最值得我們付出努力和時間最重要的事情就是等著好結果。所以耐心點吧!
