Peaks &Valleys by Spencer Johnson
「當你身邊的人明白怎麼駕馭順境與逆境，他們的煩惱會少一點，做什麼都更順利。」
It’s natural for everyone everywhere to have peaks and valleys at work and in life.
Peaks and valleys are not just the good and bad times that happen to you.
They are also how you feel inside and respond to outside events.
「一個人的感受，跟他看待自己的處境的觀點息息相關。重點在於不要把個人的遭遇跟你認為自己優秀不優秀、有沒有價值劃上等號。」
Peaks and valleys are connected.
The error you make in today’s good times create tomorrow’s bad times and the wise thing you do in today’s bad times create tomorrow’s good times.
「太多人在順境時沒有好自為之，沒注意到自己正在堆砌未來的逆境。」
「你看待低谷的眼光，會決定你在低谷待多久。」
Peaks are moments when you appreciate what you have.
Valleys are moments when you long for what is missing.
「想要減少低谷，就要避免跟別人比較。若凡事都往好處看，就比較容易覺得自己在高峰上。」
You can’t always control external events but you can control your personal peaks and valleys by what you believe and what you do.
「如果你能改變現況，那很好。如果做不到，你可以選擇對自己現況的感覺，從現況受惠。」
「的確如此，沒有人知道未來會怎樣，不過在現實生活中，選擇正面的信念通常能讓結果好得多。」
The path out of the valley appears when you choose to see things differently.
You change your valley into a peak when you find and use the good that is hidden in the bad time.
Between peaks there are always valleys.
How you manage your valley determines how soon you reach your next peak.
A plateau can be a time for you to rest, reflect, and renew.
You can have fewer bad time times when you appreciate and manage your good times wisely.
The most common reason you leave a peak too soon is arrogance, masquerading as confidence.
The most common reason you stay in a valley too long is fear, masquerading as comfort.
「我發現走過低谷的最佳辦法，是打造自己的理想願景，再依照願景的內容慢慢實現。」
A great way to get to your next peak is to follow your sensible vision.
Imagine yourself enjoying your better future in such specific believable detail that you soon enjoy doing what takes you there!
善用工作和生活中的高峰與低谷：
1. 面對順境與逆境：擁抱現實
無論你是暫時在高峰或低谷裡，問自己這件事情的實際狀況是什麼？（reality）
2. 如何早日脫離低谷：找出潛藏在逆境的契機，加以利用
放輕鬆，低谷總會過去。怎麼陷進低谷，就反其道而行。跳脫個人框架：在工作上多盡一份心力，在生活上多一分體貼。避免和別人做比較。找出潛藏在逆境的契機，趕快採取行動，這樣對你最好。
3. 如何在高峰待久一點：對順境感恩，明智地經營順境
謙卑、感恩。多做當初讓你爬上高峰的事。好還要更好。多為別人盡心。為日後的低谷預留資源。
4. 要到達下一座高峰：追隨理想願景
想向自己沈浸在美好未來的樣貌，要描繪出具體、可信的細節，不久之後，你就會為了實踐願景而樂於吃苦耐勞！
5. 幫助別人：樂於與別人分享
協助別人也學會面對順境與逆境。
