1 - 阅读感悟。
(1)干了这碗鸡汤。
其实开始读书之前,对这本书并没有什么期待,纯粹想学点英文。但是读完第一章,感觉感慨颇多,收获不少。自从大学毕业参加工作后,我就发现无忧无虑的日子已经远去了。家庭和工作就像两台马力十足的麻烦制造机,不是这里出了事就是那儿又有什么麻烦。一开始真的很想逃避,很怀念以前无忧无虑的日子。但后来发现没法逃避,只能尝试一点点的接受和处理问题。现在读到这本书,忽然恍然大悟,生活里问题重重,一团糟是正常的。随它怎么乱,理清自己该做的事情,不害怕问题,接受问题,处理问题,把精力集中在重要的事情上,这才是成熟的人处事的态度。这让我想起分清事情轻重缓急的四象限原则,分清重要且仅仅,重要不紧急,不重要但紧急和不重要也不紧急的事情,区别对待,合理安排。
(2)小心正能量。
近年来,正能量这个词上至中央官方媒体,下至民间段子都很喜欢用。整个社会似乎已经到了不正能量就不对的地步的。拥有喜怒哀乐,人之常情,我们没必要强加给自己莫须有的压力。Be honest to yourself, embrace it and save your energy to the things that really mean something to you.

(1) Essentially, we become more selective about the fucks we’re willing to give. This is something called maturity. It’s nice; you should try it sometime. Maturity is what happens when one learns to only give a fuck about what’s truly fuckworthy.
Remarks: Maturity is amazing thing in the ground that we know ourselves better. We can tell the important form the others and hold our life in hand.
(2)Ironically, this fixation on the positive—on what’s better, what’s superior—only serves to remind us over and over again of what we are not, of what we lack, of what we should have been but failed to be. After all, no truly happy person feels the need to stand in front of a mirror and recite that she’s happy. She just is.
Remarks:正是因为缺少某样东西,才会要去追求某样东西。这么简单的道理,作者点了才明白。正所谓“腹有诗书气自华”,真正有气质、知书明理的人是不会天天嚷嚷着“我要变得有文化有气质的”,“She just is”。
