沉迷与执着 indulgence and perseverance

沉迷与执着，前者是负面的，后者则是受人称赞的！两者都会导致当事人废寝忘食，精神不振。

我本人认为，沉迷只所以会令人诟病，是因为过于沉迷于某件事，效果往往与预期的背道而驰，向失败的方向前进。但执着则往往给人一种持之于恒的感觉，是步向成功的不二法门。我倒认为，两者是一样的。

好比成者为王，败者为寇，为何沉迷于某种嗜好者就不能成功呢？君不见有不少沉迷于网络游戏的“不良”少年，在新兴的国际电子游戏大PK，赢个大满贯，闯出给春天来。而执着于某种研究，却碰上瓶颈，没有突破口。

话说回来，若没有沉迷与执着，碰到困难便退缩，必定一事无成。

所以，适当的沉迷，也许是可以放纵的！

Is indulgence a bad habit, when compared to perseverance?

To me, both shares the same trait - they are akin to the faces on both sides of a coin.

We need certain degreee of indulgence and/or perseverance, to complete various tasks. This is particularly pertinent when dealing with challenging tasks. Without these traits, one would have given up trying when encounter the slightest hurdles.
