哪种情感是你最想逃避的Which Emotion Do You Hide from the Most?哪种情感是你最想逃避的？Worry.担心。
As Dushka Zapata says, worry is a useless emotion.正如萨帕塔所说，担心是无用的情绪。
It does nothing but stress you out, and I hate that, so I hide from it.它起不了任何作用只能使你感到紧张，我很讨厌担心，所以这是我最想逃避的。
Why hasn’t Mom texted you back by now?为什么妈妈至今还没回你短信?A million morbid images spill through my brain. What if she collapsed somewhere? What if she needs my help? What if she’s been attacked by someone?成千上万张恐怖场景穿过我的脑袋。
如果她在某处倒下了怎么办？如果她需要我的帮助怎么办？如果她被某个人袭击了怎么办？She’s fine, I assure myself.她很好，我反复告诉自己。
More awful situations fill my head. Then she texts, I’m by the door.接着，更多糟糕的场景出现在我的脑海里。
之后她回我短信：“我在门口。
”I breathe a sigh of relief.我叹出一口气。
Fear.恐惧。
Fear of losing the imperative people of my life, who truly matter to me.害怕失去生命中那些对我很重要的人。
I've already lost some of my dear ones in an abrupt manner. I don't have more mettle to bear losing someone again. Many times, I tryto overlook it, but sometimes, my hands become moist if I hear about someone's death.我已经由于突然的原因失去了一部分最亲的人。
有声双语美文：真正的尊重要靠努力换来OK, I wasn’t fired but this is how it went.好吧，我不是被炒鱿鱼了，事情是这样的。
Back in 2005, I had just started working and was almost at my peak of being a ladies man (or so i thought). Always spotted with a different girl (or so people perceived). I was an associate and kinda developed a crush on this manager. She seemed nice and the usual.2005年的时候，我刚开始工作，当时是我作为大众情人的巅峰时期（至少我是这么想的）。
人们总是看见我和不同的女孩在一起（至少他们是这么想的）。
我当时是个准合伙人，并且有点暗恋我的经理。
她则表现得很友好、很正常。
Long story short I asked her out and it worked. (Story for another day).长话短说，我约她出去了，而且成功了。
（详细故事改天讲）We seemed to be pretty fond of each other and hung out quite a lot. In and out of office. Later on, during one of her 1-on-1s with her manager, he suggested her to stop hanging out with me. You know ‘perception is reality’ kinda stuff. That hanging out with a younger and reckless guy like me would be a career liming move for her.我们互相挺喜欢的，经常在一起，不管是在工作中还是工作外。
有声双语美文：珍惜你邂逅的每一个人We don't meet people by accident.我们遇见的人不是偶然。
Every person you meet will have a role in your life, be it big or small. Some will help you grow, some will hurt you, some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some role in their lives as well. Know that paths cross for a reason and treat people with significance.无论大小，你见到的每一个人将在你的人生中扮演一个角色。
一些人帮助你成长，一些人伤害你，一些人激励你做的更好。
与此同时，你也在他们的人生中扮演一定的角色。
知道道路不会无缘无故交错，有意义地对待别人。
The best teachers are those who don't tell you how to get there but show the way.最佳的老师，并非授人以鱼，而是授人以渔。
There is no better joy then helping people see a vision for themselves, seeing them go to levels higher than they ever would have imagined on their own. But that doesn't mean you have to fix them or enable them; instead, guide them to the source of their own power. Offer them support and motivation as they find their own way and show you what they're capable of. All you have to do is believe in them.再没有比帮助别人自己看到未来、看到他们到达了他们原来也没想到的高度让人更高兴的事了。
练脑八大法则Our brain is like muscles. The more you use and exercise it, the stronger it becomes. But, if you want to get maximum results, you should do more than just practice. What you need is deliberate practice. Deliberate practice is the kind of practice that stretches the boundaries of your capabilities. While in normal practice you just do the same activity again and again, in deliberate practice you push yourself to the limit. It’s not easy, but deliberate practice makes the difference between an expert and everyone else.The principle of deliberate practice can be applied in whatever field you want to excel in, but here I will focus on mind development. Below are 8 ways to challenge and exercise your mind. Choose some of them you haven’t done and take y our mind to the next level:1. Read challenging articlesYou can measure the difficulty level of an article by using Google Docs. Here is how to do it:Create a new documentPaste the content of the article to the new documentOpen the Tools -Word Count menu item. It will show you three metrics: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kindcaid Grade Level, and Automated Readability Index. The higher it is, the more difficult the article is.Of course, it’s not necessary to measure the difficulty level of every a rticle you read. Simply take some samples from a blog or web site and you will have good idea about the difficulty level of the articles there.2. Read challenging booksClassic books are good candidates since they are usually more difficult to read than new books. You could start with my list of classic books. You can also read the Pulitzer-winning books.3. Read academic journalsOne form of challenging reading we often overlook is academic journals. There are a lot of free journal articles you can read from Open science Directory. Some of the journal articles in Google Scholar are also free. Go there, pick a topic of your interest and read a journal article.4. Play mind gamesChoose a free mind game to play and you can have fun while exercising your mind. I started playing Sudoku last week and it was more difficult than I expected. But over time my mind got used to it and I can now solve the puzzles faster.5. Aim to produce certain number of ideas everydayThe ideas can be in whatever fields you are working on. In my case, I try to write certain number of words everyday. Q10 - which I first learned from Dale - is an excellent tool you can use if you are a writer. One of its features is global target with which you can set the target number of words you want to write.6. Brainstorm using thinking toolsThere are many thinking tools you can use. The book Thinkertoys has many of them in one book and the web site Exploratree has a collection of tools you can use.7. Do ultradian sprintDoing ultradian sprint is a good way to train your focus and concentration. One trait of a well-trained brain is the ability to concentrate for long time and ultradian sprint can help you increase your ability to concentrate.8. Set a projectIs there a project that has been in the back of your mind for some time? Perhaps you postpone it because you think it’s too difficult. Well, that’s a good candidate for deliberate practice. Often we are afraid of failure, but a mantra to quick progress is to make mistakes and make them quick. This way you will have a short feedback loop that will help you adjust your performance faster.As I wrote in the beginning of this article, a key of deliberate practice is to push your current limit of ability. These challenges will stretch your boundary when you first do them, but after some time, you will get comfortable with it and it will no longer be deliberate practice. Here are some things you can do to keep making them deliberate practice:1. For reading, try reading something in an unfamiliar field or read more challenging materials in the same field.2. For playing mind games, increase the level of difficulty or try a new game you are not familiar with.3. For producing certain number of ideas everyday, increase the target number or the quality of the ideas.4. For doing ultradian sprint, increase the duration of the session.5. For thinking challenge, try more difficult challenges.6. For setting project, increase the scope of the project or do similar projects with stricter deadline.Do you have tips or thoughts on mind exercise? I would love to hear them..。

With all this coming and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of comfort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other?Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At itsvery worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universitaire: are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips.The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You come away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’ of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact—how trite it sounds! – That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and at the same time all unique.。
最成功的10个人给你的10个人生建议在新书《抵达梦想：导师之书》中，作者吉莉安·佐伊西格尔采访了许多商业明星，探寻他们眼中成功的秘诀。
以下是其中的一些建议Warren Buffett: CEO, Berkshire Hathaway沃伦·巴菲特：伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司首席执行官"You could have a 300 horsepower motor and get 300 horsepower out of it or you can get a lot less. The people who I see function well are not the ones with the biggest motors, but the ones with the most efficient ones."“一台标着300马力的发动机实际输出的功率可能远远小于300马力。
在我看来，能做好事情的人并不是‘马力最大的’，而是效率最高的。
”Matthew Weiner: Mad Men creator马修·威纳：《广告狂人》制作人"When someone rejects your work, register the fact that they don’t like it, but don’t listen to the reason why. People feel that they have to say something, and they often give a capricious justification to keep from hurting your feelings."“别人否定你的作品时，记住他们不喜欢它这件事实，但别去听理由。
为了不伤害你的感情，人们常会觉得必须得说点儿什么，他们给出的往往是模棱两可的理由。
摆脱自卑烦恼：3招帮你快速提升自信(双语There are some major benefits to having confidence, and there are proven methods to boost it.自信会给你带来很多好处，经证明有些方法能提高你的自信心。
There's a saying that "confidence breeds success." But does it?俗话说：“自信造就成功。
”但真的是这样吗？Science actually backs this up to a reasonable extent. Confidence can play a big role in how much success you experience in the workplace, in relationships, and even in your health. So let's take a look at how to get there.这个说法在一定程度上有科学依据。
自信在你的工作、人际关系甚至是健康方面都起着重要作用，所以我们一起来看看如何提高自信吧。
1. Give yourself a quick confidence boost by striking a "power pose."摆出“力量姿势”能让自己快速提高自信。
Did you know that something as simple as striking a powerful, confident pose can trick your brain into actually feeling more confident? Well, it can. Really.你知道吗，仅仅是摆出有力的自信姿势就能给大脑一种错觉，好像真的感觉更自信了。
恩，真是这样！Try this: Next time you're feeling nervous about something —like a job interview, for example —try taking a couple minutes right before and adopting this pose: Stand straight up, push your shoulders back and chest out, and place your hands on your hips.试试：下次你感觉紧张时，比如要参加面试时，试着提前抽出几分钟时间，摆出这个姿势——站直，肩膀后倾，挺胸，手放在臀部。
Studies have shown that this pose can lead to a short-term increase in confidence and reduction in stress. How does this work?研究表明这种姿势能短时间内提高自信并减压。
为什么会这样呢？"Our nonverbals govern how we think and feel about ourselves. Our bodies change our minds," said Harvard Business School social psychologist Amy Cuddy in a 2012 TED Global talk.哈佛大学商学院社会心理学家Amy Cudd在2012年TED全球论坛上说：“我们这种非语言的行为控制着我们对自己的想法和感觉，身体能改变思想。
”2. Convince yourself you have the ability to improve.说服自己有能力提高。
Now, this sounds like one of those "easier said than done" type suggestions, but it's actually not. Think about the things in your life you can't change and those you can. You can't change your eye color or your height, for example, but you can change your physical strength through training.现在这听起来像是诸多“说起来容易做起来难”的事情之一，但其实并不是。
想想生活中你无法改变和能够改变的事。
例如，你不能改变眼睛的颜色或身高，但你能通过锻炼改变体力。
Ask yourself if your goal is something you have the power to improve upon (even if improving might be really difficult). Is your goal to become a better public speaker? That's something you can improve upon. A better interviewer? That's a skill that can be honed. Have more upper body strength? With training, that's possible, too.问问你自己针对目标你是否有能力做出改变（即使改变很困难）。
你的目标是成为一个更出色的演讲者？你能做到。
想成为更好的面试官？这也能磨炼出来。
想要增强体力？通过锻炼也能实现。
What you'll find is that there are very few things in life truly set in stone. We all have our own limitations, but as long as we can remind ourselves that we're not stuck, we have incentive to stay motivated你会发现生活中真的没几件事是做不到的。
我们都有自己的局限，但只要我们能提醒自己不被困住，我们的积极性都能被激发出来。
3. Fail. Get up. Try again. Repeat.失败了就站起来继续尝试。
如此循环往复。
You're going to fail, and that's a given. What matters much more than whether or not you fail is how you react to that setback. Do you get up? Do you regroup, come up with a new strategy, and try again? Or do you just throw in the towel?你会失败，这是一定的。
比你失败与否更重要的是你如何应付挫折。
你站起来了吗？你重整旗鼓、想出新的点子然后再次尝试了吗？或者你认输了？If we can learn to fail, we can learn to succeed.==压力山大时要这么想：这些句子让你自信满满Think: "It's a sweet opportunity."你这样想：“这是个好机会。
”If you perceive pressure as threatening, you are sure to be negatively impacted by its occurrence. People who do their best in a pressure moment perceive them as an opportunity, fun or a challenge. These words will enable you to befriend the pressure moment, and approach it with confidence and enthusiasm.如果你把压力视作威胁，那你一定会受到消极影响。
那些面对压力时尽最大努力的人把这视为机会、乐趣或挑战。
这些话会使你积极面对压力，处理压力时信心满满、热情洋溢。
Think: "I'll get another chance."你这样想：“我还会有机会。
”Under pressure, we often lose perspective and distort the reality of the situation via "cognitive pressure distortions" -- thoughts that intensify the feelings of pressure. One of the most common is the "Chance of a lifetime," in which we tell ourselves "I will never get an opportunity like this again, so I better not blow it." When you think of a pressure moment as a "singularity" you intensify the pressure to succeed and not to fail.面对压力，我们总会失去希望，由于“压力认知扭曲”（强化压力感受的想法）而曲解现实的状况。
最常见的一种情况就是“一辈子就这一次机会”，我们告诉自己“我再不会有这样的机会了，所以我最好不要放过它。
”如果你觉着这次压力“难得一见”，你就会强迫自己只能成功不能失败。
Think: "I've done it before."你这样想：“我以前做过。
”People who do well in pressure moments remind themselves that while it is a big opportunity, it is one of many opportunities that will come their away. When you remember the reality--that you do get multiple opportunities, you will feel less pressure because it will no longer be a "do or die" situation. You'll feel more relaxed and do better.能很好应对压力的人会提醒自己虽然这是一个很好的机会，但这只是他们会遇到的众多机会之一。
