A friend of mine met with an accident while driving at night. His legs were so badly hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the worst, he was unable to ask for help – his mobile phone did not work. He could do nothing but wait in the cold wilderness. Eight hours later, at day break, the rescue arrived.
It is almost unimaginable that he could stand this horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his explanation: “first of all, I checked my physical condition and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from bleeding. In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the failure of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men tried to explore a mountain cave and got lost. Unable to find a way out in the dark cave, they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of direction. Finally they dropped dead from fear and exhaustion. The place where they first got lost was only about 10 meters away from the opening of the cave! If they had remained clam, they would probably have sensed a faint light shining not far away.
Don't you think that you can compare these two stories with life itself? When you meet with difficulty in life and work, you are lost in darkness. Mind you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t panic immediately. A person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as great courage.

我的一个朋友晚上开车时出了车祸，双腿严重受伤，动弹不得。最糟糕的是，他无法呼救——手机（摔）坏了。除了在寒冷的荒野里等待（救援），他别无可为。八小时之后，破晓之时，救援（人员）抵达了。

他能够在黑暗与恐怖中如此长时间地忍耐，简直难以想像。更令人吃惊的是他的解释：“首先，我检视了一下自己的身体情况，发现没有性命之虞。既然无法呼救，我就躺靠在座椅上，尽最大的努力阻止伤口流血。就这样，我打起盹来。”

他的经历结束了我为去年发生的一场失败的探险活动所感到的遗憾。一群年青人试图到一个山洞里探险，结果迷路了。他们在黑暗的山洞里找不到出口，非常惊恐，便不问东西地疯跑起来，最终死于恐惧和体力衰竭。他们刚开始迷路的地方距离洞口不过十米左右！如果他们保持镇静，就很有可能发觉不远处有微弱的光线射进来。

难道你不认为可以把这两个故事与生活本身类比起来吗？当你在生活与工作中遇到困难，你在黑暗中失去方向，记住，事态尚不明朗，不要立马陷入恐慌。能够做到这一点的人，一定具有先见之明和非凡勇气。
