You could hear the silence in the room as she nodded her head.
人們對於他們的過去、現在及未來，其事件之畫面、聲音、感覺、氣味與味道等內在的編碼，時間線，如同後設模式(meta program)與次感元一樣，都是非常個人化的。
時間線事件越接近面前中心線，越吸引個體注意力，使個體越容易受其影響
Sometimes, when you think you’re being nice, you’re actually being a dick. You’re being “nice.”

用來描述與定義一個事件或是經驗的界線與範圍；也是我們以我們對於世界的內在表象為基礎，來過濾我們對於世界的認知的另一種方式
若將事情放入不同的情境(參考架構)中，變會賦予不同的意義，這樣的過程，稱作框架

As an actor, you do all sorts of jobs to make ends meet. One that is probably the most challenging on a self-respect level is dressing up as a superhero for childrens’ birthdays. I can’t say what it’s like for women…

In my early 20’s I became severely alcoholic and harboured deep, delusional, fantasies of becoming a writer. I worked in a sometimes rough, working-class, Brooklyn bar and spent all of my time, money, energy, and emotion actively…

I used to be obsessed with being smart. Now I’m obsessed with being effective. Effective is the new smart. I want to be effective at life, at love, at money, at happiness, at making an impact, and anything else that catches my fancy.
Yes, it’s possible to become smarter. If you’re effective you’ll appear smarter, even if…

最近听完一本有声书，Caro Dewck 的 Mindset: The New Psychology of Success(中文版好像翻译成“看见成长的自己”)，这本书已经出了整整十年了，里面的概念我也早有耳闻，但完整听过这本书之后还是觉得有新收获。
书里一个关键概念讲到，我们的思维会极大影响我们的生活方式。这本书把思维给抽象成为两种：固定型和成长型。固定型思维主张我们的能力是不变的，而成长型思维主张我们的能力可以通过努力而改变。这两种思维是可以培养的，自己…

It isn’t our default instinct to run toward danger. It is our default instinct to avoid it. We’re trained to avoid difficult situations and emotions and people. Most of us have great trouble dealing with confrontation, even when it is done in a positive context. We’d rather hide…

I used gratitude journaling after I first became disabled. I was miserable, and tired of being miserable. Some internet article suggested I try gratitude journaling.
But when I tried to think of something I was grateful for, I came up with nothing. I had lost the person I believed was the love of my life, I could no longer…

I can’t help but think of the analogy in a diamond mine. People will dig for so long thinking that the diamonds are on the behind the next swing of the pickaxe but they grow disheartened and give up. When in reality if they kept going for that bit longer they would have gotten the rewards they desired.
I greet each morning with enthusiasm.
Insights on EQ from a Wall Street Intern
This past summer I interned at a Bulge Bracket Bank in their Finance Division, and in the 10 weeks I spent sitting behind an office desk, learning how to “adult,” I had a lot of time to reflect on the bi-daily coffee chats I had with coworkers. It’s amazing how much existential…
There’s so much talk about “becoming the person” that we want to become, realizing our best self, and following our path and our purpose. But how do you really do that?
That’s a great question, and one that I don’t have all the answers to.

I feel that education is important and experiences that may come along during education can be valuable too. My primary objection to the “single path to success” model that higher education proposes is that it makes the above mentioned items a package deal; that somehow sold separately, education and life experiences are less valuable. For a distance…

I listened to the news and sighed. My body felt heavy. My heart hurt.
I recognized the need to listen to the details — to hear the personal stories and to cry alongside everyone affected.

As we continue the philosophical study of pure abstractions and archetypal images we become addicted to living in our heads. We are attempting to build a mental understanding of the entire universe from the bits and pieces of illuminations and insights that we receive. Our…
Writing things down does make the information more accessible but another hidden problem with to-do lists is that writing them down also creates a sense of accomplishment which can cause some people to procrastinate more.

Heather Sage Church. Thank you for this nicely written and informative article. First things are to make yourself realize that you can’t fix every situation. Those that you can’t fix, you bless and move beyond. Ended relationships are just that. Ended, Finished, Kaput. You bless that relationship and let it go and move on. That it the kind of closure…

Most productive people find a win-win situation in which their own self interests are not in conflict with the rest of society. It’s really pretty simple, when you provide a good or service that other people want to pay for you benefit and society benefits. You both benefit!
We have all grown up with the impression that we are special. Television programs like Barney and MR. Rogers would spout the same dribble every week.

The first thing that comes to mind whenever I think of success is a quote by the basket ball player Michael Jordan. The quote is a bit long but every word matters and adds to the message. The quote goes like this,

I think you hit a major point here. Achieving a goal depends on the system you put in place aimed to it. But if you don’t find rewards inside the system, you’ll go nowhere.
That has also a further meaning. If it’s not possible to design a system that fits you, maybe the goal is not for you.

What’s your purpose? Learning or make friend? Or learning to make friend? Is making friend important to what you’re studying? If you study physics, then friends are hardly important. In fact, unless you’re studying to be a politician, making friends hardly matters.

Can absolutely elate to this. My prescription pair eventually ended up saving my life. Like, literally.
words are … only words.
you can dismiss the words because of the person.
or you can dismiss a person because of his/her words.
my unsought advice is:
don’t.
My will to improve goes hand in hand with my anger towards the ones who thoughtlessly mimic others and do not try to develop their own identities. One cannot deny the fact that transcendence is inseparable from being different, but the two are not necessarily correlated.

Having anxiety and depression is sometimes as debilitating as having a disability. The reaction to a stressful situation for people without depression and anxiety is to use the tools they have to solve the problem. When you have depression and anxiety you can’t access the tools anymore. They block them.
Imagine a world that is illiterate. It has only been in the past 200 years that education has been made available to the general public in some civilized areas of the world. Other areas of the world remain illiterate even today.
