Editor: There's a story on the web where a woman who was a teacher found her colleagues finding better paid jobs, but she decided that she loved teaching and wanted to continue in that job. She said "I don't know how to put it in English -- 以不变应万变 -- you must keep yourself. You let the environment around you change. You keep yourself."

那段長居深山的日子,總是林谷芳如今面對諸多挑戰時能以「不變應萬變」的本錢,每當想起年少的「意境」、青春的理想,腦筋就清楚了。
Those long days of living in the mountains are resources Lin can draw upon when he meets challenges in his present life. Whenever he thinks about his "world of thought" in his youth, about his youthful ideals, his mind is clear.

一年半前張翠華辭去銀行的金飯碗,帶著兩位女兒遷居上海和先生團聚,事前她已有大陸看病不如台灣方便的心理準備,但還抱著「大陸同胞都可以看,我們為何不能看?」的想法,準備以不變應萬變。
A year and a half ago Chang Tsui-hua left the secure world of banking and brought along her two daughters to live in Shanghai with her husband. She was psychologically prepared for a medical environment that didn't measure up to Taiwan standards but decided to take things as she found them, saying to herself, "If it's good enough for our mainland brethren, then it's good enough for us."
