Susan Cain: the power of introverts

• rowdie vs mellow?
• when outgoing becomes majority
• introverts have better creativity and leadership

creativity comes from solitude and thinking
leadership comes from listening to others instead of speaking a lot

• tho most introverts tend to hide their "introversy" (most leaders)tho they are better left alone
• 現在的教育偏向extrovert: group talking, 發表....
• when you are in a group, you tend to follow the best talker, that influences your individual thinking
• people need to go separately and think, then generate their ideas, THEN come back and discuss
• the ideas would be more original and deep
• western, especially US tend to like man of action
• 工業化之後強調personal charisma, social skills, rather than modesty

1. stop the constant group work at work and in schools!
2. go to the wilderness and think!
3. take a look at your suitcase, (is it full of books?) and try to share

女人可以選擇愛不愛丈夫
父母可以選擇愛不愛孩子
孩子愛不愛父母
甚至要如何愛
卻無選擇的餘地

完全是個不對等的關係

只因父母說：我全心全意的愛你，
所以我就要照你說的回報你
要求回報也不能如此霸道

因為得不到你們要的回報
你們就會說你辜負了我
我白白付出了

可以不要這麼心胸狹窄嗎

全心全意一定是好的嗎
在費盡心力的同時
很多父母沒有想過他們用的方式對不對
就先開始挑剔得果實不是他們想要的
請問你們有研究過種子需要的是什麼嗎
農夫

孩子因為愛你們
為了成為你們想要的那樣
有多努力你們知道嗎？？？？

一針見血的建議

【「我不可能取悅每個人。」 艾瑪華森8句名言讓你更愛她】

從《哈利波特》一頭大捲髮的小妙麗，到現在留著和男生一樣短髮的艾瑪華森，十多個年頭過去了，艾瑪華森不管在各方面都向我們證明了她不只是個包袱裡有實力的女演員，更是腦袋裡有東西、也有想法的女孩。

“I don’t have perfect teeth, I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn’t want to change anything.”
我的牙齒不漂亮(艾瑪華森曾經戴過牙套矯正牙齒)、我的身材也不算瘦，但是我想要當一個不管自己身材怎麼樣、都能愛自己、接納自己、不隨便改變自己的人。

"I’ve probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.”
我曾經搞砸過很多事情，但是我不想讓恐懼成為阻礙我做我真正想要做的事情的絆腳石。

“I don’t want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.”
我不想讓旁人來決定我是誰，我要為自己做決定。

“All I can do is follow my instincts, because I'll never please everyone.”
我唯一能做的就是跟著我的直覺走，因為我不可能取悅每個人。

“It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you're not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.”
這聽起來也許很老套，可是如果你學不會「愛自己」、欣賞自己，你永遠也遇不到對的人。

“My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.”
「性感」之於我，就是「少即是多」，你揭露的越少，大家的遐想空間越多、對你的興趣也越高。

“I truly, truly believe that beauty is something that comes from within.”
我深信一個人的美麗來自於內在。

“I think that it is very important if you know what you want, understand where you are heading towards, and try your best to get it. It is only when we use our hearts to do it, and fall in love with what we are doing, then can we really get real determination.”

知道自己要的是什麼、了解自己的目標是什麼很重要，因為這樣你才會發自內心的去喜歡自己正在做的事，並且下定決心去達成你的目標。

剛逛了一下臉書
意外看到一位學姊的天燈
好讓人敬佩啊
之前還把她跟另一位社長學姊比較
真對不起她
我要找回我的戰鬥力！
元宵快樂
為什麼總覺得元宵節聽起來像鬼節呢>.<

反思真的很重要
5 Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence
1. Minimize Television Watching – This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

2. Exercise – I used to think that I’d learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated and can concentrate more easily.

3. Read Challenging Books – Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren’t mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.

Once you get used to reading challenging books, I think you’ll find that you aren’t tempted to go back to page-turners. The challenge of learning new ideas is far more exciting than any tacky suspense-thriller.

4. Early to Bed, Early to Rise – Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You’ll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity all day.

If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.

5. Take Time to Reflect – Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what’s important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.

I’m not saying you need to sit on the floor cross-legged and chant ‘ommm’. Anything that allows a bit of prolonged solitude will do. One of my personal favorites is taking a solitary walk. Someone famous said, “All the best ideas occur while walking.” I think he was on to something. Experiment to find the activity that works best for you.
