“Living in the moment” is a very popular saying. However, I have always found this to be a rather foolish piece of advice, because the majority of people do not need this advice at all, as they are already living in the present. On the contrary, living in the moment is likely the fundamental reason […]
Undoubtedly, an operating system that can switch modes is more advanced. As we mentioned earlier, an operating system that can actively switch between “fly mode” and “bee mode” has amazing capabilities in effortlessly transitioning across different domains. 毫无疑问，可以切换模式的操作系统更先进。正如我们之前提到的，可以在“飞行模式”和“蜜蜂模式”之间主动切换的操作系统具有毫不费力地跨不同域转换的惊人功能。 The majority of people tend to live in a one-track manner. They prefer everything to have a […]
In life, if you encounter someone who carries an air of superiority or disdain and makes comments such as: 在生活中，如果你遇到一个带着优越感或不屑一顾的人，并发表这样的评论：“You don’t even know this?!” “你连这个都不知道？！”“You just found out about this?!” “你刚刚发现这件事？！”“We stopped doing this a long time ago!” “我们很久以前就不这样做了！”you’re better off avoiding them. They are typical attention-seekers who are extremely concerned and only interested in […]
Books must be read carefully, there’s no compromise. That’s why it’s crucial to choose books carefully. And books must be chosen by oneself. Book selection is also a skill that must be acquired and developed. Don’t ask others for reading lists; that just creates a burden for them – who knows what books others should […]
Books are generally divided into two categories: fiction and non-fiction. Reading non-fiction books is for acquiring new knowledge and applying it to life, allowing oneself to make progress. Personally, I prefer non-fiction books because the pleasure I gain from them feels more substantial, usually based on the progress achieved. After graduating from college, I rarely […]
Hehe, Does being not ugly mean you don’t have to study more? 呵呵，不丑不等就不用多学了吗？ People always have many illusions, or wishful thinking. 人们总是有很多幻想，或者一厢情愿。 For example, boys who are not handsome enough think (actually hope) that handsome guys cannot be smart; girls who are not pretty enough think (or even hope) that pretty girls don’t do housework […]
Self-learning has always been a specialty of a minority. 自学一直是少数人的专长。What we call “upgrading our own operating system” is actually the process of repeatedly self-learning. Why do people have to have the ability to self-learn? Everyone has different reasons. I will share my own reasons. 我们所说的“升级自己的操作系统”，其实就是反复自我学习的过程。为什么人必须有自学的能力？每个人都有不同的原因。我将分享我自己的原因。 Many years ago, I heard someone say, “Teachers are the […]
The entire “New Life – Seven Years is a Lifetime” is based solely on an analogy that our thinking system is like a computer’s operating system and needs continuous upgrades – since the “manufacturer” does not provide such a service, we have to keep upgrading ourselves… 整个《新生活——七年是一生》完全基于一个类比，我们的思维系统就像电脑的操作系统，需要不断升级——既然“厂家”不提供这样的服务，我们就得不断升级自己……I am not the first to compare the human […]
Sometimes, we need to learn how to switch modes, while at other times, we need to learn how to shift focus. When a new phenomenon occurs or a new trend emerges, the majority of people’s mindset is typically: Wow! This thing is amazing! How can I make use of it? 有时，我们需要学习如何切换模式，而在其他时候，我们需要学习如何转移焦点。当新现象发生或新趋势出现时，大多数人的心态通常是：哇！这东西太神奇了！我怎样才能使用它？ For example, in the […]
Professor Karl Weick at the University of Michigan has told a fascinating experiment: Putting a group of bees and flies into the same glass bottle and laying the bottle flat with the bottom facing the window, to see what happens. The hardworking little bees that are skilled at flying continuously buzz around the bottom of […]
