Pick yourself up 使自己保持振作
"Hitting the wall" is an all too common experience that befalls athletes and Gebrselassie isn't an exception. But, he said, resilience is key.
“撞墙”是所有运动员都体验过的,海里也不例外。但是他说,要尽快调整恢复过来很重要。
It's all in the mind, he said, and his philosophy is to always be "mentally fit."
全部都在你的意识里,他说,他的人生哲学是永远要“精神上最好”
"Many years back at the beginning of my athletics career, I injured myself during a marathon in Addis Ababa and I couldn't walk for almost a week.
“许多年以前,在我运动员生涯刚开始时,我在亚的斯亚贝巴马拉松中受伤了,我几乎一周都不能走路。”
"I was wounded physically, but mentally I wanted to continue. If your body is damaged, wounded, it can be fixed, but if inside, mentally, you are wounded you cannot fix it, it's hard."
“那只是身体上受伤,但是在精神上我还想继续。如果你的身体受伤,它可以治好,但是如果你的内心,精神上受到伤害后你不能治好,那就完了。”
This mentality has helped Gebrselassie in his business career as well as his athletic one.
这种精神治疗法在他的商业方面和运动员生涯一样帮助了他。
