生死自知

The philosopher Stephen Cavebegin begin with a dark and compelling question: when did you first realized that he would die? Then he discusses the people to resist the inevitability of death, tells the story of four across various civilizations for the processing of death. So that we can deal with fear of death. The fear of death is not rational,but over this bias is not easy because the fear of death is so deeply embedded in us. And when we see that the fear is not rational and when we can bring it out in the open, then we could start to try minimize the influence it has on our lives.

内向性格的力量

In a social and outgoing personality is venerated cultures, become introverted people may find it hard to, it is shameful even. But, from Susan Cain's study, you will find the introvert brought amazing talents and abilities to the world, it is worth to encourage and celebrate. Many people do not understand the introvert. Introversion is a kind of personality. But, introverts can be very good at communication, can also express myself very well, but they enjoy time alone more, not to participate in social activities. Just now the society, especially in the United States education focus too much on team spirit,

有感于TED演讲《怎样预测一个人会成功》 发布于

TED演讲《怎样预测一个人会成功》中，我最关注的几段内容是：

我开始研究儿童与成人处于各种艰巨挑战中的表现。 在每次研究中，我关注的是： 谁会成功？为什么会成功？

我和我的研究团队去了西点军校。我们试着预测哪些学员 能通过军事训练，哪些会放弃。

我们去看全国拼字比赛， 试着预测哪些孩子能在比赛中 笑到最后。

我们研究在非常艰苦的环境下 工作的新教师， 预测哪些教师在学年末时 还能坚持在岗位上。 当然还有，哪些教师教出的学生 成绩的提高最为显着？ 我们和私人公司合作， 预测哪些销售人员能保住工作？谁能赚最多钱？ 在这些非常不同的背景下，我们发现有一个特质能够很好地预测成功。 它不是社交能力，不是美丽的外貌，不是健康的身体，也不是智商。 而是意志力。 意志力是面对长远目标时的热情和毅力。 意志力是有耐力的表现。 意志力是日复一日依然对未来坚信不已--- 不只是这周、 不只是这个月， 而是年复一年。用心、努力工作 来实现所坚信的那个未来。 意志力是将生活看作是一场马拉松，不是短跑。

我很同意这个演讲的内容。从我过去十几年对朋友、同事的观察来看，事业的成功者，无一例外都是意志力坚强的人。

当然我们不能只给出“成功=意志力”这么简单的回答。我们要去回答怎么培养人的意志力。

我个人认为，意志力的来源有三：

第一，有人确实天生意志力强大，这是一种遗传基因。 第二，有人在人生早期阶段机缘巧合的进入了一种“正反馈”的状态。通俗讲，就是他偶然发现做某件事收到了“甜头”，他就继续加大投入，会收到更大的“甜头”。这样他就进入了正反馈，自然形成了对这件事情的意志力。这种意志力不需要去“坚持”。 第三，有的人需要后天自律的去培养意志力。

TED—Why We Are Happy 观后感

情绪有多种多样，如果非要形容，一天结束我们总可以在快乐和不快乐间做出选择。很多人都自然的把自己的情绪归结于所经历的事，所处的外部环境，几乎没人会想起我们自己才是情绪的制造者。

Doctor发现——Happiness can be synthesized 。很多人都认为natural happiness和synthesized happiness中明显后者是次等品，因为前者是我们得到了自己本来就很渴望的事物，而后者是带着笑容面具接受并不使自己十分满意的事物。表面上看，或许natural happiness更胜一筹，但研究表明，synthesized happiness往往更加持久有效。

当大家产生合成快乐的时候，他们是真正的、从心中改变接受了对于这些事物的看法，同时自身审美也在原来基础上发生了变化，只是大家没有意识到合成的快乐在什么时候对自身产生了效果。举个贴近大家的例子，爸爸去哪儿是最近热播的综艺，里面一个重要的环节就是选房子，房子本身的美丑好坏显而易见，前几期宝贝们总会因为选到坏房子而沮丧、苦恼、不平衡，但是经过大人们的引导，他们会渐渐发现其中拥有的“美丽”风景，可能这些本身都只是为了安慰他们的方式，但最后孩子们就会真的会去接受并喜欢上这些房子，甚至到最后几期，他们会明显的取选择这些差房子。天真的宝贝们是不会去考虑节目效果或者观众口评的，他们选择因为他们喜欢。所以说，很多时候美由心生。如果你总是发现身边有太多的不满意，不妨先抹去眼前的尘埃，怀着快乐的心情去看看周围的风景。

Adam Smith（现代资本主义之父）曾说——人生中的悲剧与无序之源，似乎都来自于人们过高地评估某种时局，诚然，某些时局趋势高于人们的追求，但是，不管这种追求有多大的合理性，我们都不可能因为这种痴情的追求而打破谨慎公正的法则，亦或我们未来的心（The great source of both the misery and disorders of human life seems to arise from overrating the difference between one permanent situation and another. Some of these situations may，no doubt ，deserve to be preferred to others， but none of them can deserve to be pursued with that passionate ardor which drives us to violate the rules either of prudence or of justice ， or to corrupt the future tranquility of our minds）。生活中去是存在某些事物比某些事物更有价值，我们也确实应该追求价值更高的事物，但如果我们过分地看重这两种事物之间的区别而过分地追逐我们想要的东西的时候，很可能会因为忽略初心而变得盲目，甚至是牺牲真正有价值的东西而被畏惧所控制，从而变得谨小慎微、患得患失，当这种畏惧积累膨胀时，我们就能会变得或者鲁莽大意，或者单小如鼠。当我们不是无节制的追求，我们反而可以生活得很快乐，我们可以通过选择，或者自己产生出自己不断追求的目标。

Paul Bloom: The Origins of Pleasure

My eyes are attached by the title of the speech. Because I have been wondering that how can I feel happier on earth. Maybe I find the answers through the speech. It illustrates that humans are, to some extent, natural born essentialist, which means we don’t respond by things as we see them, as we feel them. We respond by our beliefs about what they are, what we come from. For example, if you drink wine in an exquisite bottle, it will taste better. The reason why we take origins so seriously is that we are snobs, who are focused on status. The theory applies to pain as well. You will hurt more if you know someone do it on purpose. While pain, under certain circumstances, can be transformed into pleasure, so people can seek out low-level pains and take pleasure from them. Actually, I can afford the pain but I don’t need to suffer from the negative emotions. In general, whether I am happy or not depends my own beliefs.

After watching 10 TED videos, I found this—More Stuff, Less Fun is very interesting. Mostly it’s because the speaker use multiply ways to make his speech appealing. I would like to break down this video by using the following points.

Opening: Interesting one, rise a question at first to increase the audience’s interest. He caught people’s eyes in the first 15 seconds.

Point: He used a symbol “< = >” to represent “less equals more” is a pretty good move.

Evidence: Using his house design as an example to convince people less equals more. Listing things you needed under multiplecircumstances to make us realize that we don’t need that much stuff. Showing multifunctional spaces and housewares to make us believe it’s possible.

Reasoning: Begin with the problems normal American’s are facing: too many stuff. As a country whose 73% of GDP is come from consuming, overloaded stuffs has led to debts, less environmental friendly and stress. Then he presented his point as a solution to this problem. He encouraged people to edit their stuff ruthlessly and showed it’s also possible that demands can be met with few things in our house. As a designer, he also presented a few designs that make the house

The lecturer explained his birthplace and the Chinese historical background in his infancy briefly. And then he expounded the definition of a story that explained all he ever needed to know that humanity: all human societies develop in linear progression and then end up with communism. He also stated the great influence of meta-narrative on not only Chinese people but also one third of the entire world’s population. Because disillusioned by the failed religion of his youth, he attended the USA and was told another story which claimed that only electoral democracy could lead human to the paradise in adulthood. This story also became a bestseller like the former one and was spread around almost whole world except in China. In the following, he explained the rapid development of China and the China’s great contribution to the world in just 30 years without voting. So he asked himself what’s wrong and studied it. He declared that it was wrong to consider the one-party state bad, on the contrary, the China’s one-party system is inherently incapable of self-correction. Then he fully discussed the reasons why China’s one-party system can keep working. He demonstrated the validity of the one-party system from the aspects of economic reform, political system and corruption by illustrating. Then he expounded the Party’s Organization Department and its
