孟子曰："舜发于畎亩之中，傅说举于版筑之间，胶鬲举于鱼盐之中，管夷吾举于士，孙叔敖举于海，百里奚举于市。故天将降大任于是人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空伐其身，行弗乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能。人恒过，然后能改。困于心，衡于虑，而后作。徵于色，发于声，而后喻。入则无法家拂士，出则无敌国外患者，国恒亡。然后知生于忧患难与共，而死于安乐也。"
When God wants to assign a task to an ordinary human being,
there are some things HEwould do first. HE will
make his heart and mind bitter and painful, make his muscles and
bones fatigue, make his flesh and skin hungry, make his body empty
and tied, make things happened to him chaotic, finally change his
heart, enhance his patience, therefore advance his ability so that
he is capable of doing things that he could not do before. People
always make mistakes, then they are able to correct their misdeeds
later.
译文：孟子说：“舜从田野之中被任用，傅说从筑墙工作中被举用，胶鬲从贩卖鱼盐的工作中被举用，管夷吾从狱官手里释放后被举用为相，孙叔敖从海边被举用进了朝廷，百里奚从市井中被举用登上了相位。所以上天将要降落重大责任在这样的人身上，一定要道先使他的内心痛苦，使他的筋骨劳累，使他经受饥饿，以致肌肤消瘦，使他受贫困之苦，使他做的事颠倒错乱，总不如意，通过那些来使他的内心警觉，使他的性格坚定，增加他不具备的才能。人经常犯错误，然后才能改正；内心困苦，思虑阻塞，然后才能有所作为；这一切表现到脸色上，抒发到言语中，然后才被人了解。在一个国内如果没有坚持法度的世臣和辅佐君主的贤士，在国外如果没有敌对国家和外患，便经常导致灭亡。这就可以说明，忧愁患害可以使人生存，而安逸享乐使人萎靡死亡。”
