#Molly#?2018.1.24 Chapter 5 You are always choosing
Answering?the questions：
1.What does “you are always choosing”? Can
you define it and give an example?
The problem we faced in our life is being
painful or being powerful is depend on our response. It is a sense that we
choose it. For example, if you really love what you do in your work, you would
feel happy and satisfied with it, otherwise you had to work hard by the
pressure of life, and it makes you feel depressed and miserable.
2.What’s the point of telling William James’s
story?
To tell us the reality is that we are
responsible for everything in our lives, we are what we choose and responds.
The point is we are always choosing, whether we recognize it or not.
3.Any responsibility problems you had with
your boyfriend/girlfriend or parents? If any, please tell us your story.
My little sister and I have bad relations.
We all the kind of person whom just care ourselves’ feelings, and once we had
contradictions we never come to terms with each other. Sometimes I really do
not know how to deal with that kind of relations, maybe I could learn how to
listen other’s feelings, and give a good respond to it whether the
communication is good or bad. I should only care that I and my little sister
love each other, even we have so many conflicts, we are always sisters, that
never change, thus I could pay more attention to the important things rather
than just fight with each other.

讀后感：
文中寫到的“victimhood chic”大概是很多人都有的心理媳拴，總認(rèn)為這個世界欠缺自己什么，但很少從自身出發(fā)去思考原因鸦致，去重視自己對于不公和不幸的態(tài)度砚哗，是消極應(yīng)對還是積極應(yīng)對嚼鹉。今天在工作中與同事有了一些小摩擦勤婚，當(dāng)時真想破罐子破摔懶得做了遵班，應(yīng)付了事算了忧换，后來想想瘾婿，害的其實(shí)是自己蜻牢，破壞的是自己一貫認(rèn)真的態(tài)度，即使這位同事的工作也受到影響偏陪，所以還不如積極反應(yīng)抢呆，還是以嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)膽B(tài)度做好，對大家都好笛谦。
