part two ?sentences

1, willpower failures—in control one moment but overwhelmed and out of control the next.這個句子傳達的感覺簡直不要太貼切,我懂。

2, The intelligent want self-control; children want candy.

3, This book is dedicated to everyone who has ever struggled with temptation, addiction, procrastination, or motivation-which is to say, all of us.



part three ?summary

針對文章提出來的三點,我仔細思考了一下,并列出如下:

"I will" power challenge: What is something that you would like to do more of, or stop putting off, because you know that doing it will improve the quality of your life?

最為欣賞的不過是:腹有詩書氣自華。我想做的并且愿意為之堅持的不過就讀書二字而已。可是很多時候都因為這樣或者那樣的原因斷斷續(xù)續(xù),很多書都只看到一半或者看完并沒有仔細思考過,缺少一個凝練的過程。現(xiàn)在似乎找到了method,才開頭,真正需要的是做的更多并堅持


"I won't" power challenge: What is the “stickiest” habit in your life? What would you like to give up or do less of because it’s undermining your health, happiness, or success?

最根深蒂固的不好的習(xí)慣啊,就是懶(被很多人說過,還被舅舅說以后怎么嫁的出去,未來的婆婆不得嫌棄死你啊,這么懶)。額,也不好多做什么辯解,其實改掉這個毛病還真不容易。因為懶,在電腦前坐了一天不運動,導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)在身體狀態(tài)不好,眼睛度數(shù)升高,肚子上長了肉肉等等苦惱。現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該就是有意識的,盡量不要拖延做事情,盡量勤快。盡量!


"I want" power challenge: What is the most important long-term goal you’d like to focus your energy on? What immediate "want" is most likely to distract you or tempt you away from this?goal?

最長期的目標(biāo):肯定是賺大錢,然后瀟灑的去世界各地行走!可能最糾結(jié)的就是讀不讀博這件事情,讀博意味著還要再苦三年,還意味著以后可能就從此走上了搞科研的路。搞科研是一條充滿艱辛孤獨寂寞的路。是一條完全不同的路。


既然是三選一,針對目前的情況,我還是選擇第一點來做讀這本書的試驗。祝我好運!
