耐力通常具有身体和竞争的含义——拥有更大耐力的人可以超越对手并持久作战。
而耐力是指在痛苦或不适中仍能保持专注努力的能力，你也可以将其视为坚守价值观和承诺的能力——坚持一个值得追求的目的——尤其是在这样做很难的时候。
这种耐力不仅仅是当你双腿像火山爆发时用来继续奔跑的东西。它是在一个对所有参与者都构成挑战的经历中作为团队一员的贡献。它是在一个问题反复让你的大脑变成燕麦粥（那种被遗忘后长出诡异皮肤的燕麦粥）时再次尝试。它是在骨髓深处疲惫时仍能耐心地做一个父母或伴侣。
它是即使看不到进展也能逐步实现目标的能力。在世界鼓励你分心时保持专注和存在感。保持耐心。准时。克服困难材料。遵循指示或不遵循指示。保持开放的心态并愿意重新审视你的观点。
耐力是你能够培养的最有用的特质之一——它比那些在特定情况下才有用的特质，比如力量、智力、速度、人气、动力等，更具普遍适用性。
或许一个更聪明、更有天赋的人可以偶尔表现出惊人的才华，比你更快地解决一个难题。但你，凭借你的持久力，可以更可靠地解决随后的 100 个问题。
“幸福不是通过自我满足获得的，而是通过忠于一项崇高的事业获得的。”

Stamina usually has a physical and competitive connotation — those with greater stamina can outwork and outlast opponents.
While stamina is the ability to sustain focused effort despite pain or discomfort, you should also think of it as the ability to stay true to your values and commitments — to hold fidelity to a worthy purpose — especially when it’s hard to do so.
Stamina, in this way, is not just the thing you deploy to keep running when your legs have gone volcanic. It’s contributing as part of a team that, let’s say, has posed a challenging experience for all involved. It’s returning for another go at a problem that has repeatedly turned your mind into oatmeal (the kind with that creepy skin after it’s been left out awhile). It’s being a patient parent or partner despite bone-deep exhaustion.
It’s the ability to chip away at goals despite a lack of visible progress. To hold focus and presence in a world incentivized to distract you. To stay patient. To be on time. To push through difficult material. To follow instructions or proceed without them. To keep an open mind and be willing to renew your perspective.
Stamina is one of the most universally useful traits you can develop — it’s a more broadly applicable advantage than things that are situationally useful, like strength, intelligence, speed, popularity, motivation, etc.
Maybe a smarter, more naturally gifted person can be sporadically brilliant, and solve a tough problem way faster than you. But you, with your staying power, can more capably and reliably solve the 100 problems that follow.
“[Happiness] is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”

通常，耐力具有身体和竞争的含义——那些拥有更大耐力的人可以比对手工作更久、坚持更长时间。
虽然耐力是指在痛苦或不适中保持专注努力的能力，你也应该将其视为忠于自己的价值观和承诺的能力——对一个值得的目标保持忠诚——尤其是在难以做到的时候。
从这个角度来看，耐力不仅仅是你在双腿如火烧般难受时用来继续奔跑的东西。它是作为团队的一部分做出贡献，即使这个团队为所有人带来了挑战性的体验。它是再次面对一个问题，这个问题已经多次让你感到头脑混乱（就像那种放了一段时间后表面会变得怪异的燕麦粥）。它是尽管极度疲惫，仍然做一个有耐心的父母或伴侣。
它是在缺乏明显进展的情况下逐步实现目标的能力。在一个充满干扰的世界里保持专注和存在感。保持耐心。准时到达。攻克困难的材料。遵循指示或者在没有指示的情况下继续前进。保持开放的心态并愿意更新你的观点。
耐力是你能发展的最有用的特质之一——这是一种比力量、智力、速度、人气、动机等情境上有用的事物更加广泛适用的优势。
也许一个更聪明、天赋更高的人能够偶尔表现出色，并且比你更快地解决难题。但是，凭借你的持久力，你能更有能力和可靠地解决接下来的100个问题。
“[幸福]不是通过自我满足获得的，而是通过对一个值得的目标保持忠诚。”
