1. Accept it 坦然接受

 

Some people may feel denial¹ after a disappointment. It's not very healthy to be in denial, because if you don't accept the situation for what it is, you can't take the next steps to move on. Take a deep breath, and come to terms with what happened.

随着失望情绪的到来，有些人会不承认失败。否认可不是良好的应对之策，如果你无法接受现实，你就无法走出下一步，继续前行。做个深呼吸，坦然接受发生的事实吧。

 

2. Don't be a sore loser 不要成为输不起的人

 

If someone else achieved what you wanted, don't start taking your frustrations² out on them. Face your failure with grace, and people will respect you even more for it.

如果其他人实现了你的愿望，不要开始将自己的怨气撒在他人身上。以平常心面对你的不如意，这样别人会更加尊重你。

 

3. Don't linger³ on it 不要念念不忘

 

Of course, it's good to figure out what you did wrong this time so you can do better in the future, but there is a fine line between being proactive about your mistake and harping⁴ on it. Once you realized what went wrong, or if you find that you just cannot figure it out, drop it and move on. It's better for your mental health if you focus on the future, rather than the past.

当然，总结自己这次的失利，可以在日后做得更好。但是主动面对错误和咬住不放之间还是有一线之差的。一旦你意识到哪里不对，或者你发现自己就是搞不懂，不如放下它，继续前行。从身心健康角度来说，将精力放在未来比放在过去要更有益处。

5. Move forward 继续前行

 

Even though your disappointment has got you down, there are still plenty of possibilities ahead for you. You might even be thankful later for the disappointment, as it may open up an opportunity that you had not previously⁶ considered.

尽管失意让你难以展开笑脸，但你的面前仍有很多种选择。日后，你甚至可能会感激这段失意，因为它也许会为你找到以前从未留意的机遇。
