A lot of what goes on in business today is challenging. Many people in most organizations deal with challenges all the time.

当今商业运作的很多部分都是充满挑战的。许多人在公司里每天都要处理各种各样的挑战。

We are caught in a web of technology they can barely live with and can’t live without. In 24/7 globalism, people stretch their skills across geographies and time zones. Human biology is not built for constant high alert. We are built for cycles of sprint and pause, quick growth and slow ripening. Stress causes our bodies to produce deadly chemicals. Constant tension, worry, frustration, suppressed rage, inadequate exercise, stale or polluted air, and insufficient sleep add up to migraine headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, ulcers and heart attacks.

我们深陷于一张技术之网，我们不一定能靠技术存活，但没有技术却万万活不下去。在这个24小时全面全球化的时代，世界各地的人们跨越时间和空间的限制伸展着他们的技能。然而，人类的身体并不能承受连续的高度紧张状态，我们能承受的只是冲刺和停顿、快速发展和缓慢成熟之间的一种循环。压力会让我们的身体释放致命的化学元素。连续的压力、紧张、挫折、压抑怒火、缺乏锻炼、被污染的不新鲜的空气以及缺乏睡眠都提高了患上偏头痛、失眠症、高血压、溃疡和心脏病的几率。
