Question

18．When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，"Well，it's so-and-so's fault．"or"I know I'm late，but it's not my fault；the car broke down．"It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser．You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation．However，you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedythe situation．This is the winner's key to success．
Winners are great at overcoming problems．For example，if you were late because your car broke down，maybe you  need to have your car examined more regularly．Or，you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers，so you could call for help when in need．For another example，if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability，find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame  the person．Ask to work with a different person，or don't rely on this person．You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails  to do his job well．
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens．Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives； they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else．They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents．So，stop focusing on"whose fault it is．"Once you are confident about your power over bad situations，problems are just stepping stone on for success．

Answer 1

分析 当出现问题时，说："嗯，这是这样那样的错．"或者"我知道我迟到了，但这不是我的错；汽车抛锚了．"是可以使人满意的．这可能不是你的错误，但是一旦你形成在糟糕状况下责怪某人或其他事物的习惯，你就是一个失败者．你没有能力也什么都做不了来帮助改变局面．但是，如果你停止专注于谁应该被责怪，并开始专注于如何补救此状况，对于发生的事情你就可以有伟大的力量．这是赢家成功的关键．
获胜者非常擅长克服问题．例如，如果你因为你的车抛锚迟到，也许你需要更经常地让你的车接受检查．或许，你可能开始携带有用的电话号码，这样的话你可以在有需要的时候打电话求助．另一个例子，如果你的同事因为缺乏责任或能力而导致你的工作出现问题，找到方法来处理他的不负责任或没能力，而不是简单地责备此人．要与一个不同的人工作，或不依赖这个人．你应该接受这个人是不可靠的，并找到创造性的方式成功工作，无论你的同事如何地未能做好他的工作．
这就是一个赢家就是创造性地使用你的技能和才能，所以不管发生什么你都能成功．赢者在他们的生活中遇到的问题和其他人一样多．他们只是更擅长把这些问题看作提高自己能力的挑战和机会．因此，停止关注"这是谁的错"．一旦你对处理糟糕状况的能力有信心，问题只是成功的基石．
