本書將告訴你，不要刻意去尋求失敗；而是希望你能了解；從事具有挑戰性的工作時，必定會有障礙在前頭等著你。同時，最大的重點是想讓讀者了解：當你運用【聚焦法則（Focus）】這個工具來克服逆境時，一切的阻礙都無法繼續干擾你，逆境也不再那麼令人恐懼。事實上，要知道自己是否已達成功巔峰；唯一的途徑就是要看你在到達巔的過程中，是否曾經遭遇挫折或失敗。
本書最大目的是要鼓勵大家把握機會、謹慎冒險，更重要的是要鼓勵大家；允許自己失敗。因為，失敗會給我們無可比擬的教訓，強化我們的求生本能，賜予我們一個重新評估人生的機會。正如麥克．柯達所言：「失敗時，我們學會了事情的運作方式；成功時，我們太過沉浸於歡樂而疏於注意。」
逆境是對意志的試煉，有了『聚焦法則』這個工具，你就可以度過難關；透過『聚焦法則』所擬定的行動方案，可以適用於所有大大小小的逆境。60位知名頂尖高手現身說法，60項鑽石升級觀念全面公開，從發明家到企業領導人，從億萬富豪到外科醫生，從奧運金牌得主到娛樂界名人，各界名流將與您分享他們經歷挫折和成功，相信每個故事皆能激起您深刻的共嗚。
I believe that anyone in any profession who wants to achieve tremendous success must deal with obstacles, set backs, and adversity of some type. Understanding that adversity can be the greatest teacher is the reason for writing this book. Once somebody does fail and then learns the valuable lessons from that situation, one can apply it to the next step in their life and come back that much stronger. Not only will you hear about my own experience in the book, but also many other people who share their stories so you can pick and choose what relates to your situation.
There’s saying, “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” My belief is that adversity is a blessing in disguise that teachers us our own strengths, our own character, and what we really can accomplish by never giving up.
I hope this book brings you through situations that you thought would be impossible to come back from and left you see a whole new world of opportunity when obstacles are present.
May your future be as bright as a diamond！
有句話說：挫敗若不打倒我，只會讓我更強壯！而這也是我對挫折的看法。我認為它是力量的來源，磨練性格的根本：更重要的是：它教人必須學會「永不放棄」。
在此，我由衷希望這本書能帶給中文讀者一種全新的感受，了解因為阻礙，才有機會存在。更希望各位的未來像鑽石般，歷經焠煉，更顯光華。
