We’ve all heard of IQ,and terms like EQ,which relates to our emotional intelligence.But have you ever heard of AQ? AQ stands for “adversity (逆境) quotient” and measures our ability to deal with the ups and downs of life.
Adversity can take us by surprise and shock us.In the workplace,it could be in the state of being laid off (下岗),the company being closed,or missing out on good opportunities.Failed friendship and relationships,financial hard times and the losing of family members are thing that can happen outside of work.Being able to handle these hard things is not only important in professional lives but also in personal lives.
AQ measures our ability to face the shocks when life“surprises”us—how likely we are to struggle to stand up in these situations.It can be used to predict our attitudes,perseverance and the way we learn from changes in the environment.To be exact,our resilience (适应力) works when there is an unexpected change.
Luckily,there are some steps we can take to adapt to the adversity,according to Dr.Shahram Heshmat,professor of health economics.First,try to find a meaningful goal.Resilient people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired result,seeing negative situations as a way to their goal.Learning to relax and control our emotions is another key step.See difficulties as opportunities to learn and grow emotionally.Finally,make sure we have a good social support.Being able to talk with someone about the challenges we face can help.
Unexpected things happen in life—and sometimes they aren’t pleasant.But,taking a few steps to have better resilience can make them a little easier to get through.
