一? 問答
1 What does “entitlement” mean? Can you give an example to explain it?
It means somebody is overconfidence about themselves.For example,a formal colleague believes she is a goddess of the beauty and wisdom.As she makes mistakes,“It’s? not my business ”is her mantra.
2. What’s the point of telling Jimmy’s story?
If a person can’t face his problem,no? matter how good he feels about himself碍舍,he is weak.The true measurement of self-worth is not how a person feels about his positive experiences棋枕,but rather how he feels about his negative experiences.
3. Do you think you are special? What’s wrong with feeling you are sepcial?
Aha瘫证,before the college I think I am special,cuz I'm good at getting high marks.But as a wage-earning worker具滴,there are so many geniuses all around us士嚎,I take my job seriously and work hard everyday.
4. If you are not special, how can we achieve greatness?
A little effort everyday呜魄,I will make a big difference.
二 反思
In the media business that’s what gets eyeballs,and eyeballs bring dollars.
我被這句話吸引了眼球航邢。
當(dāng)下很多行業(yè)都在強(qiáng)調(diào)“流量即一切”耕赘,大到品牌營(yíng)銷小到朋友發(fā)圈骄蝇。這沒什么不好膳殷,打磨專業(yè)出精品,吸引眼球賺dollar九火。但是我腦路回旋想到了“家”這個(gè)概念赚窃。每個(gè)人都在往高處爬向大處看,貌似越來越忽視了身邊最親近的人岔激。12月5號(hào)我八十歲的外公突發(fā)腦溢血去世勒极,老人家平時(shí)身板硬朗打打紙牌散散步做做飯,特別突然的一下子虑鼎,那個(gè)上過朝鮮戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)霸氣的外公辱匿,那個(gè)挑擔(dān)子大氣不喘的外公……我腦海里一直都有11月臨時(shí)回家看望兩個(gè)老人,外公特意叫來姨媽炒菜炫彩,我離開時(shí)兩個(gè)老人家默默送出了好遠(yuǎn)的畫面……我們關(guān)注得越來越遠(yuǎn)匾七,卻忘了親人等我們也會(huì)越來越久。前幾晚做夢(mèng)夢(mèng)到外公江兢,我問他在那邊過的好不好昨忆,他說還可以,還叮囑我:好好活著杉允!我把夢(mèng)到外公的事告訴老媽邑贴,老媽說外公一直覺得你是所有孫子孫女中最貼心的席里,他應(yīng)該是回來和你告別,外公會(huì)好好保佑你的拢驾。突然離世的親人默默回來和我們告別奖磁,所以不要站的太高找不到回來的路,不要走得太遠(yuǎn)丟掉最疼我們的親人繁疤,畢竟凡人的我們把親近的人事處理好署穗,內(nèi)心充裕富足,也是一種“greatness”嵌洼。
