Tolerating a problem has the same consequences as failing to identify it. Whether you tolerate it because you believe it cannot be solved, because you don’t care enough to solve it, or because you can’t muster enough of whatever it takes to solve it, if you don’t have the will to succeed, then your situation is hopeless. You need to develop a fierce intolerance of badness of any kind, regardless of its severity.
容忍问题与未能识别问题具有相同的后果。无论你容忍它是因为你相信它无法解决，因为你不够关心去解决它，还是因为你无法聚集足够的力量来解决它，如果你没有成功的意愿，那么你的处境就没有希望了。你需要对任何形式的坏事产生强烈的不容忍性，无论其严重程度如何。

You only have so much time and energy; make sure you are investing them in exploring the problems that, if fixed, will yield you the biggest returns. But at the same time, make sure you spend enough time with the small problems to make sure they’re not symptoms of larger ones.
你的时间和精力只有这么多；确保你将它们投入到探索问题上，如果这些问题得到解决，将为你带来最大的回报。但与此同时，请确保你花足够的时间来解决小问题，以确保它们不是大问题的症状。

“I can’t get enough sleep” is not a problem; it is a potential cause (or perhaps the result) of a problem. To clarify your thinking, try to identify the bad outcome first; e.g., “I am performing poorly in my job.” Not sleeping enough may be the cause of that problem, or the cause may be something else–but in order to determine that, you need to know exactly what the problem is.
“我睡不够”不是问题；它是问题的潜在原因（或者可能是结果）。为了澄清你的想法，首先尝试找出不好的结果；例如，“我的工作表现不佳。”睡眠不足可能是导致该问题的原因，也可能是其他原因——但为了确定这一点，你需要确切地知道问题是什么。

You need to be precise, because different problems have different solutions. If a problem is due to inadequate skill, additional training may be called for; if it arises from an innate weakness, you may need to seek assistance from someone else or change the role you play. In other words, if you’re bad at accounting, hire an accountant. If a problem stems from someone else’s weaknesses, replace them with someone who is strong where it’s needed. That’s just the way it is.
你需要精确，因为不同的问题有不同的解决方案。如果问题是由于技能不足造成的，可能需要额外的培训；如果这是由于先天的弱点引起的，你可能需要寻求其他人的帮助或改变你所扮演的角色。换句话说，如果你不擅长会计，就聘请一名会计师。如果问题源于其他人的弱点，则在需要时用更强大的人来取代他们。就是那样子。

Thinking about problems that are difficult to solve may make you anxious, but not thinking about them (and hence not dealing with them) should make you more anxious still. When a problem stems from your own lack of talent or skill, most people feel shame. Get over it. I cannot emphasize this enough: Acknowledging your weaknesses is not the same as surrendering to them. It’s the first step toward overcoming them. The pains you are feeling are “growing pains” that will test your character and reward you as you push through them.
思考难以解决的问题可能会让你感到焦虑，但不思考它们（因此不去处理它们）会让你更加焦虑。当问题源于你自己缺乏才能或技能时，大多数人都会感到羞耻。克服它。我必须强调这一点：承认自己的弱点并不等于屈服于它们。这是克服它们的第一步。你所感受到的痛苦是“成长的烦恼”，它将考验你的性格，并在你克服它们时奖励你。

Though it won’t feel that way at first, each and every problem you encounter is an opportunity; for that reason, it is essential that you bring them to the surface. Most people don’t like to do this, especially if it exposes their own weaknesses or the weaknesses of someone they care about, but successful people know they have to.
虽然一开始不会有这样的感觉，但你遇到的每一个问题都是一个机会；因此，有必要将它们带到表面。大多数人不喜欢这样做，特别是如果这暴露了他们自己的弱点或他们关心的人的弱点，但成功的人知道他们必须这样做。
