You can’t make good decisions without some emotion, but you can’t make good decisions with too much emotion either. The truly resilient strike the right balance.

2. You feel confident you can adapt to change

Change is a constant. That reality doesn’t stress out the truly mentally strong.
變化是常常有的，但只要內心強大就不會被現實打敗。

6. You celebrate others’ success

If you truly feel strong, there’s nothing to fear when others do well--in fact, there’s a great reason to celebrate. The truly mentally strong don’t feel as though other people’s success somehow diminishes their own achievements. So if you sense your feelings of envy are diminishing, take it as a good sign that your resilience is improving.
如果你真的感受到內心的強大力量，那么在別人成功的時候也沒有什么值得擔憂的——實際上，這也是很值得慶賀的理由。真正的內心強大不會因他人的成功而感到對自己成就的削弱。所以當你感到自己的嫉妒感越來越少，那就可以確定自己正在不斷地增強心智。

8. You don’t need to achieve to feel good about yourself
8.你不必努力爭取自我滿足
It’s natural to feel good when you succeed and bad when you fail, but the mentally strong don’t let the ups and downs of life interfere with their essential self-image. Next time life deals you a blow, then, notice how deeply it affects you. If you can shrug it off more easily without feeling too bad about yourself, congratulations! You’ve likely achieved a high measure of mental strength.
成功時喜悅，失敗時悲傷是人之常情，但內心強大的人不會讓這些生活的起伏影響基本的自我形象。所以下次當你感到很糟糕的時候，那就留意一下這些情緒對你影響的程度有多深。如果你能毫無顧忌地把它拋之腦后，那么恭喜你!你已經達到了很高程度的內心強大了。
9. You express gratitude
9.你會表達感恩之情
It’s easy to look around and see all the things you lack, but the mentally strong choose to focus their attention on the things they do have--and feel grateful for them. Do you?
