Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative(消

39、极的) ways. They feel depressed(消沉) or try to escape from their troubles instead of using disappointment as an opportunity for growth.One negative reaction to disappointment is depression. A woman trying to win a promotion, for example, works hard for over a year in her department. Helen is so sure sh

40、e will get the promotion. In fact, she has already picked out the car she will buy when her salary increase comes through. However, the boss names one of Helens co-workers for the spot.

44、artment. Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she could prepare for the next promotion. Kevin, the boy who didnt get into the college of his choice, should look into other schools. Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, step out of his brothers s

45、hadow, and realize that being turned down by one college isnt a final judgment on his abilities or potential.Disappointments are unwelcome, but regular visitors to everyones life. We can feel depressed about them or we can try to escape from them. The best thing, though, is to accept a disappointmen
