> 否定イコールダメではないのでは。 **否定を、上回る**
> 、意志や考えを、持たない限り、他人に振り回されるだけ。夢は、かなわないのではなく、それに向かって努力し、行動しない限り、現実にならないだけ。否定を、どう生かすかです♪

I can't understand it, can someone help me? I don't think it's "surpass a
denial"... I just want to know what 否定を上回る means, I think it will help me
understand this sentence

I found it here <http://tell-me.jp/q/2373128>

question
translation meaning
What does 否定を上回る mean?
"Surpass a denial" makes sense here I think. OK, it probably can be reworded
in a way that sounds much better in English, but the basic idea is here. As we
can see from the original question you linked to, that woman's dream is being
"denied" (否定されたら) by someone. As in, someone is trying to make it impossible I
guess (maybe like a parent saying "you shouldn't become a teacher" or
something?). But it's all in her hands and she can overcome (surpass) this
obstacle if she tries hard enough. So I believe your interpretation is more or
less correct. I wonder what other people will say...

answer
I am not sure so much if this could be a big deal regarding **the original
text**. Japanese is SOV, so here the original text is saying.......

> 否定を、上回る、意志や考えを、持たない限り、他人に振り回されるだけ。
>
> here, O-V-O-V-「V-conditional」-「passive-clause.」
>
> The first O is 否定、the denial.
>
> The second V is 上回る、surpass or excel,
>
> The third O is ( are ) ( your ) will or thought,
>
> The fourth "V-conditional" is, "unless you have ( the prior O, so, your

>
> The last "passive clause" is, "you would then get pushed around by others.

So if I translate the previous O-V-O-V-「V-conditional」-「passive-clause.」.

That would be

> "Unless you do not have a stronger, better will or thought that excels the
> denial, you would get pushed around by others and you would not be ( or have
> ) yourself".
