Anderson Cooper 曾经感慨过：

”you have questions about survival: Why do some people thrive in situations that others can't tolerate? Would I be able to survive and get on in the world on my own?“

当然他的context 是他的哥哥自杀。 如果我泛泛引申一下：

When facing diffcult situations, why some people would break into a million pieces, while other people can inch along? 

我的引申已经篡改我们讨论的scope。 有感而发， 拿来自勉。
