【MarieTV】过度忙碌而没时间追求想做的事? 试试这个 (Too Busy Running Your Business To Actually DO Your Business? Try This.)

流浪这么久,这才是旅行的意义 (The Point of Travel)
We should follow old-fashioned pilgrims in striving to evolve our characters according to the suggestions offered up by the places we've been to. We need to relearn how to be ambitious about travel, seeing it as a way of helping us to grow into better versions of ourselves.
我们应仿照昔日的朝圣之旅,力图提升我们的人格,并履行游历之处给予的启发。我们要重温如何对旅行有抱负,视之为终南捷径,引导我们成就更好的自己。

【TED】增进沟通效率的10种方法 (Celeste Headlee - 10 ways to have a better conversation (Condensed Talk))
Number 9: Listen. And look, I know, it takes effort and energy to actually pay attention to someone. But, if you can't do that, you're not in a conversation. Stephen Covey said it very beautifully, he said: "Most of us don't listen with the intent to understand, we listen with the intent to reply."
第九,聆听。看着对方,我知道这需要心力。不过,如果你不这样做的话,你就不是在沟通。Stephen Covey 说得很好。他说:「大多数的人听不是为了理解,而是为了回答。」

为何我们会跟错的人结婚?(Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person)
It explains why we rejected all those candidates, the well-balanced, mature reliable ones, as somehow a bit “boring”. And why we head instead with secret energy to those characters we unconsciously know will mess us up in such cosily familiar ways.
这也解释了为何我们拒绝了那些心智成熟丶可依赖的对象,因为他们有些「无聊」;反之,潜意识里有股神秘的力量驱使我们去追求那些会像之前一样毁了我们人生的对象。

【TED】关於自闭症:我妈妈的坚持证明了专家是错的 (Autism - How My Unstoppable Mother Proved the Experts Wrong: Chris Varney at TEDxMelbourne)
I say how autism is a spectrum of behaviors. On one hand, it can cause children to experience social difficulties, anxiety, obsessive traits and disruptive habits. But on the other hand, it provides children with incredible gifts in memory, focus, detail, and visual perception.
自闭症的行为举止不胜枚举。就一方面而言,自闭症让孩子们历经社交困难丶焦虑丶强迫症特徵和自我伤害等习性,却同时赋予了孩子们绝佳的记忆力丶专注力丶观察力和视觉感知。

思考的方式 (CARL SAGAN - A Way of Thinking)
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority then we are up for grabs for the next charlatan political or religious, who comes ambling along.
若我们未曾质疑那些告知我们是非对错的人丶或质问拥权者,那麽便是在纵容那些政客或宗教中满嘴胡言的人对我们予取予求。
