心理韌性/防禦力
Broken ≠ Beaten
Antifragility
[@talebAntifragileThingsThat2016]
面對未知，我們的反應分為三種：
- 脆弱 Fragile：遇到變動就損壞（如玻璃杯）
- 強韌 Robust：可以承受變動但無法從中受益（如壺鈴）
- 非脆弱 Antifragile：愈挫愈勇，在混亂中茁壯（如創作作品、實驗性的想法）
Mental strength in a warrior’s mind. [@gogginsCantHurtMe2018]
Every challenge is a reminder that you were brought into the world to do something that requires your courage to awaken.
Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will.
Resistance, obstacles, and roadblocks lead to growth. “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.”
The more easily you get offended, the less emotional intelligence you have. Invest your emotions wisely. Don’t engage in any fruitless arguments.
“Think of life like a play, and it will ease your mind when you’re challenged or when someone stands in your way. Told yourself they were playing a role. Every story needs a villain. So why should you waste energy being upset at the villains in your story? Instead, you could use that energy as the fuel to beat them.” — Arnold Schwarzenegger
“Never wrestle with a pig in the mud because you’ll both get dirty and the pig likes it”. — George Bernard Shaw
“You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.” — Roy T. Bennett
“It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.” — Voltaire
“Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.” — Euripides
“Never argue with a fool, because from a distance, people can’t tell who’s who.” ― Will Smith, Will
“I’m at the stage in life where I stay out of arguments. Even if you say 1+1=5, you’re right. Have fun.” — Keanu Reeves

- 「逆境菩薩」
- Love your enemies—not by seeking their approval, but by turning your feelings about them into fuel. Let their doubt drive you. Be so exceptional at what you do that they’re forced to respect you, not out of affection, but awe. They don’t need to like you. It’s about earning respect through undeniable excellence, shattering their preconceptions with your relentless work and undeniable results.

笑罵由人、唾面自乾
One day, a Donkey and a Tiger got into an argument over the color of the grass. “The grass is blue,” said the Donkey. “That’s ridiculous,” replied the Tiger. “The grass is clearly green.” When the argument grew more and more intense, they decided to find the Lion, King of the Jungle, to settle the debate. When they approached the Lion, the Donkey exclaimed, “Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?” “Yes,” the Lion calmly answered, “The grass is blue.” Not yet satisfied, the Donkey continued, “The Tiger disagrees and argues with me. You must punish him.” The Lion nodded, “I will. The Tiger will be punished with a year of silence.” The Donkey walked off into the jungle, celebrating his victory. Before the Tiger turned to leave, he looked up at the Lion. “Your Highness, why have you punished me? After all, you must see the grass is clearly green.” The Lion nodded, “Yes, of course the grass is green.” “Then why am I being punished?” asked the Tiger. “Because someone as wise as you should never waste time proving anything to a fool.”
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
