Quote by Lewis Wolpert

“يشير مصطلح الكرب عموماً إلى أي ضغط مفرط يتعرض له الشخص سواء أكان ضغطاً جسدياً أم نفسياً، ويتراوح الكرب بين الشعور بالخوف ليصل إلى الخطوب الجسيمة التي قد تُلم بالشخص، وقد يكون أقصاها الخطوب المتعلقة بالفقد، التي تسبب شعوراً طاغياً بالحزن قد يجده بعضهم محنة لا يمكن تجاوزها، ويمكن أن يؤدي بهم إلى الإكتئاب، في حين يرى فيه آخرون تحدياً يحفزهم على التعاطي معه وتجاوزه فيما بعد ص 191”

“Stress is a natural and normal part of being alive. Stress-free promises set people up for failure. Even when used with good intentions and accompanied by relevant and beneficial ideas and practices, the use of the words stress-free is still ill advised because the approach is infused with an erroneous idea that will never come to fruition. The stress-free idea has become a significant hurdle on the path to real stress management, which is the balance between using stress productively and relieving harmful stress symptoms.”

“Stress-free moments certainly exist, but that is the extent of it. People, who have bought into the idea of a stress-free life, believe they should be happy and positive all the time. They have been sold a damaging falsehood. As the first sentence in M. Scott Peck’s The Road Less Travelled famously said: “Life is difficult.” Learning to deal effectively with life’s difficulties, learning to manage the inevitable stress of life is attainable, while eliminating stress is not.”

“La idea habitual de que el estrés no es más que un estado psicológico-《que todo está en tu cabeza》-es tan anticuada como la de que el colesterol es el causante de las enfermedades cardiacas.”

“There was rarely an obvious branching point in a person's life. People changed slowly, over time. You didn't take one step, then find yourself in a completely new location. You first took a little step off the path to avoid some rocks. For a while, you walked alongside the path, but then you wandered out a little way to step on softer soil. Then you stopped paying attention as you drifted farther and farther away. Finally, you found yourself in the wrong city, wondering why the signs on the roadway hadn't led you better.”
