where after a failure or a success there is a spike up, spike down, but then we recover.
成功或失败过后,会有大起大落,但我们会恢复过来
And we basically move along a base level of well being through out our lives, with the ups and downs, the vicissitudes.
我们一生基本沿基准的幸福发展,其中有起伏和变迁
The question then became, or rather there was good news and bad news. The good news was,
所以问题是,或说有好消息也有坏消息。好消息是,
we don't really need to worry that much, we can take more risks, we can put ourselves on the line more.
我们不必太过担心,我们能冒更多风险,也更容易回到基准线上
Failure usually, not all failures, but usually is just a temporary decline in our wellbeing level,
失败往往,虽然不是所有的失败,往往只是使幸福水平暂时的下降,
self esteem level, and then every quickly we jump up again. So that's the good news.
还有自尊水平,然后会迅速回升,所以这是好消息
The bad news is: if we're just around the same base level, you know, why should we put any effort into our wellbeing?
坏消息是,如果我们总是回到原来的水平,那我们为什么要努力寻求幸福呢?

而答案,这整个课程本质上就是对它进行回答。我们如何提升基准水平?
One of the things is coping, putting ourselves on the line.
一个方法是去面对,把自己置于风险之上
