1 Why happiness is a problem?
Happiness is not a solvable equation.Dissatisfation and unease are inherent parts of human nature,necessary components to creating consistent happiness.
2 Why the author invented Disappointment Panda?What is it for?
Because it would be the hero that none of us would want but all of us would need.You love it even more despite making you feel horrible,cause it feels real.
It is proved that life is essentially an endless series of problems.The solution to one problem is merely the creation of the next one.
3 What is the role that emotions play in our life?Why they are overrated ?
Emotions are part of the equation of our lives,but not the entire equation.Something feels good doesn't mean it is good and vice versa.
Because emotions are merely signposts,suggestions that our neurobiology gives us,not commandments.Therefore,we shouldn't always trust our own emotions,we should make a habit of questioning them.
4 Why you don't have chiseled abs?
The keyword is lazy.I don't take this seriously,and I'd rather be a coach potato than go to the gym.I can't weather the bad weather,I can't "waste" my time for the fitness.
反思
Our struggles determine our success.
Our problems birth our happiness,along with slightly better,slighterly upgrated.
What we gain is also what we lose.
What creates our positive experiences will define our negative experience.
書中這四句話印象很深。一方面作者哲學一般強調得到即失去,正面能量也會影響到負面情緒;另一方面也說明成就感來源于我們切實不斷解決一個又一個難題。反觀自身,剛出校門真是空有滿腔熱血壯志凌云,求職面試高不成低不就,走了數不清的彎路。從文員到銷售,換一個迷茫一個,不知道自己要什么,更不知道自己適合什么。現在想來得到一份工作你的狀態和心態積累會直接影響下一份工作的質量。“No working is uninteresting if you can think how to do it differently."后來接觸到英語培訓這個行業,我不再空想而是付出實際行動。從班主任到主持人再到老師,從一無所知到拿本子做好工作筆記到修了改改了修,從膽怯小聲到自信流利,一步步緩慢而踏實。前年無意了解到專業的“塔客學院”,報名。去年也是看到塔客學院的老師推薦張老師的微信公眾號,關注。兩者都給了我很大的鼓舞和幫助!現在從一名教學小白到可以自信跟老板談課酬,也可以獨立開班。Yeah,"slightly upgrated."一個一個級別升級打怪物一樣,真切感受到越學越快樂。
