The worst thing about worry

The worst thing about worry is that it attracts a whole flock of relatives.
Worries, like sheep, seem to flock together.

恐惧的最糟糕之处是它能引发一系列后果。恐惧像绵羊，喜欢聚集在一起。

One worry leads to another, and soon you are overwhelmed with the potential for problems.

一个恐惧可以导致另一个，很快你就会陷入问题的汪洋大海里。

When you allow yourself to play the “what if?” game — to speculate about additional problems that one potential problem might cause — worries multiply, each making the next seem worse.

当你允许自己玩“如果会怎样”的游戏，推测一个潜在的问题导致的附加问题时，恐惧倍增。每个问题都使得下一个问题变得更糟。

If you must play the “What if?” game, play it to win. Focus on solutions, not on the problems themselves and the additional problems they might create.

如果你必须玩“如果会怎样”的游戏时，玩“如果赢”。聚焦于解决问题，而不是问题本身以及问题可能引发的问题。

However serious your worries may seem when they awaken you at midnight, if you analyze them carefully, you will find that every problem has a solution.

然而，当你午夜被问题所困扰无法入睡时，你的恐惧可能真的很严重了。但是，如果你仔细分析它们，你将发现每个问题都有其解决办法。
