It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.

一个人想要成功，最需要的能力是什么？
You may be aware of that people have long been debating about whether it's IQ or EQ.
你可能已经察觉，长久以来，人们一直在争论到底是智商还是情商。
One of them measures how much you can master complexity.

Sure, they are both very important.
诚然，它们都非常重要。
But neither of them is the critical one.
但它们都不是最重要的那个。
General Patton once said: "I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but by how high he bounces when he hits bottom."
巴顿将军曾经说过：“衡量一个人的成功时，我并不看他能爬多高，而是看他能从多深的低谷爬起来。”
And this quality is called AQ, which stands for Adversity Quotient.
这种能力就是所谓的AQ，它指的是“逆商”。
It measures how well you can handle adversities.
它衡量的是你应对逆境的能力。
Most people can do very well when everything is fine.
很多人在一切顺利的时候都能做得很好。
But most of them will collapse once a great adversity comes and neither IQ or EQ can save them from that.
然而一旦经历了重大的挫折，他们中的很多就会崩溃，而不管是IQ还是EQ都无法拯救这样的人。
Can you handle an adversity? If not, make yourself.
你能挺得过逆境吗？如果不能，那就强迫自己能。
