On Stress

In modern society, most people are under the higherpressure than ever before and some people cannot handle the stress well andchoose some extreme ways to avoid or settle their stress.However, is stress a bad thing? As far as I am concerned, everythinghas two coins, and we also need to realize it from two aspects.

在現代社會，大多數人承受的壓力都比以往要多。有些人不懂得正確處理壓力，而選擇了極端的方式去逃避或了結他們的壓力。但是，壓力是有害的嗎？在我看來，任何事情都有兩面性。同樣地，我們要從兩個方面來認識壓力。

For one thing, stress is a kind of mentalburden caused by nervousness or anxiety. In modern society, stress is mostlycaused by the high requirements or heavy burden from surroundings or us, suchas stress from peers or stress in economy. If we cannot handle the stress well,we would be easy to be in a negative mood and lost our motivation and courage tokeep going or struggle with difficulties. In this aspect, stress is a threatfor our body and mental.

一方面，壓力是由于緊張或焦慮而引起的一種精神負擔。在現代社會，壓力大多數來源于環境或是自身的高要求或沉重的負擔，比如來自同輩人的壓力，經濟上的壓力等。如果我們不能處理好壓力，我們就很容易陷入消極情緒中，喪失繼續前進或和困難作斗爭的動力和勇氣從這方面來說，壓力是對我們身心的一個威脅。

However, for another, stress can also bechanged into a kind of motivation if we handle it well. For example, when youfind that you are surpassed by your classmates in an examination, you feelstressful but at the same time, you also tell yourself that you need to workharder to surpass him next time. Under this stress, you will find yourself havemore motivation and energy to study. In this point, stress is a propeller forus to get more improvements.

然而，另一方面，如果我們處理得好，壓力也可以轉化為一種動力。比如說，你發現在一次考試中，你的同學超過了你，你感到有壓力了，但與此同時，你也會告訴自己說你要更加努力以便在下次考試中超過他。在這種壓力下，你會發現自己會有更多的動力和精力去學習。從這一角度來看，壓力是我們進步的推進器。

Thus, we need to use a dialectical methodto treat stress and handle it properly。

因此，我們要用辯證的方法看待壓力，適當地處理壓力。
