A.閱讀小感
昨天喝了點酒，凌晨聽著Gai的《空城計》和《天干物燥》讀完第三章You are not special.突然發(fā)現(xiàn)酒精和音樂挺能激發(fā)靈感的颖医。沒錯位衩，歌詞里就是在強調(diào)我們有多special 我們有多entitled ，其實我們就是“凡夫俗子”熔萧，就是只會“舞刀弄劍”糖驴，有啥不敢承認僚祷？沒錯，我之前確實不愿意也不想承認贮缕。因為辙谜，不敢承認無非就是不敢面對自己的average ，不愿直視自己的平庸感昼。只買幾個牌子的衣服装哆，只用幾個牌子的香水，這種強迫癥就是想突出自己的special 自己的優(yōu)越感定嗓，想證明我和周圍大多數(shù)的人不一樣蜕琴。所以是怎么樣呢？證明之后呢宵溅？安全感提升了凌简。作者Mark一次次擊中我的要害，這樣赤裸裸地面對自己還從未有過恃逻，我的不安全感竟然是來源于不想平庸雏搂，不敢接受這樣的平庸。于是寇损，就陷入了這樣的僵局:
Once you accept the premise that a life is worthwhile only if it is truly notable and great, then you basically accept the fact that most of the human population (including yourself) sucks and is worthless.
如果每個人都不平庸畔派，那么我們終將平庸。
不必自責于“我位置在高處不需要言語润绵，
翱翔在天際俯瞰人間煉獄”线椰，找清楚原因就好。
是不是發(fā)覺周遭的廣告尘盼，音樂憨愉，或者視頻都在標榜和倡導:你是多么多么的與眾不同!我也會經(jīng)常被誘導,各種消費陷阱撲面而來，我們該怎么招架?何去何從? 那得從本質(zhì)上看待這些問題卿捎，不是要求自己不去追求品質(zhì)配紫，而是要看清自己真正的需求，可千萬別掉進商業(yè)陷阱里午阵，記滋尚ⅰ：我們做回普通平凡的自己就好。
所以底桂，在這樣的環(huán)境里很難不被商業(yè)套路牽著鼻子走植袍。以前物質(zhì)匱乏，那么就倡導有沒有籽懦，現(xiàn)在物質(zhì)充盈于个，那么就要倡導獨樹一幟的觀念，把觀念滲透給你暮顺，比直接給你物質(zhì)來得更粗暴厅篓，更加無力抗拒秀存，因為三觀這種東西真的是像502一樣，一旦粘上羽氮，非要拔一層皮才能脫胎換骨不可或链。
具體怎么做呢？我想我們是不是應(yīng)該關(guān)注這些所謂的“獨特或者例外”之外的事件呢?比如明星私生活與科學發(fā)明,盡管前者我們不用燒腦,但沒有多大社會意義档押。那么問題又來了,后者我不感興趣怎么辦?我們還可以選擇自己感興趣的另一部分,或者進行遷移(有意義的),比如我對明星的穿著感興趣,那就從美學角度看看哪種場合適合哪種搭配,這也是社交禮儀的一方面澳盐，同時你還可以將這種藝術(shù)用在房子的裝修等其他地方。在裝修的過程中你會發(fā)現(xiàn),科技發(fā)揮了舉足輕重的作用汇荐，那么洞就，也許你的興趣點又被遷移到了這里盆繁。這是不是哲學上說的:萬事萬物都是有聯(lián)系的?
“做名垂千古的人不夠流芳百世的先”掀淘，不如“閑庭信步”，找準方向油昂，踏實做好手邊的事革娄，放下exception的包袱，“瀟灑坦蕩行走在天地間”冕碟。
If you load off the stress? of exception from your back then you will be on the road to achieving what you truly want to achieve.
B. 問題導讀

Th story tells us that most of us? are controlled by exceptionalism and we don't go far as to know the truth.
3. Do you think you are special? What’s wrong with feeling you are sepcial?
Yes,? I do. Sometimes I feel I know more than others in some areas so that give comments improperly. Once the superiority disappears, insecurity floods me.

Choos the right direction and do what really matters to it.
