Be strong

Although there are some ailments in my stomach., I still went to "打酱油"（a Chinese catchwordphrase, I don't know how to say it in English）. I spent 2 hours getting there, for as I'd waited for the bus for nearly half an hour and was stuck in a terrible traffic jam. And As a consequence, I was late for the appointment, and got quite muddled up in my presentation. Feeling feeble and frustrated, I returned. On the bus, a quite garrulous* girl sat beside me, talking with her friends about her work with an express company. She said the work is physically demanding and lowly underpaid, but she was in high spirits. I should cultivate as strong (of) a heart as hers.
