“The trick is not minding that it hurts.” — Lawrence of Arabia (1962 film)

“The struggles you endure today will be the ‘good old days’ you’ll laugh about tomorrow.” — Aaron Lauritsen

“Don’t let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole. Don’t try to picture everything bad that could possibly happen. Stick with the situation at hand, and ask, “Why is this so unbearable? Why can’t I endure it?”

“Pain is neither unbearable nor unending, as long as you keep in mind its limits and don’t magnify them in your imagination.”

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” — Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

痛是難免的，苦是甘願的。

Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore. The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.

Suffering = Pain × Resistance; To suffer more = To suffer before it is necessary
