今天整了了6條,有些會略有重復(fù),先解析吧,等統(tǒng)一做完后再歸納整理。
#11 If you’re unreliable it doesn’t matter what your virtues are, you’re going to crater immediately. So doing what you have faithfully engaged to do should be an automatic part of your conduct. You want to avoid sloth and unreliability.
解析:懶散和不靠譜,是萬惡之源;毫無保留、毫不猶豫、持續(xù)不斷去做該做的;真的是大白話。
#12 Another thing I think should be avoided is extremely intense ideology because it cabbages up one’s mind....that are made of cabbage...you’re gradually ruining your mind so you want to be very careful with this ideology. It’s a big danger....“I’m not entitled to have an opinion on this subject unless I can state the arguments against my position better than the people do who are supporting it.
解析:意識流層面千萬別產(chǎn)生太多幻想,否責(zé)太危險,會毀了自己的大腦;要與此杜絕的心訣:心生敬畏,與我無關(guān)、關(guān)我屁事、我無權(quán)亂發(fā)意見。
#13 not drifting into extreme ideology is a very very important thing in life if you want to have more correct knowledge and be wiser than other people. A heavy ideology is very likely to do you in.
解析:還是在說意識流,尤其極端意識流的極大危害 - “狂妄自大、不思進(jìn)取”
#14 Another thing of course that does one in is the self-serving bias to which we are all subject....If Mozart can’t get by with this kind of asinine conduct, I don’t think you should try it.
解析:“自我服務(wù)偏差” - 一個心理專業(yè)名詞 - 不存在絕對客觀的“我”,能做的就是把“小我”位置放低、放低、放到最低。
#15 envy, resentment, revenge and self pity are disastrous modes of thought, self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia, and paranoia is one of the very hardest things to reverse, you do not want to drift into self-pity.......self-pity is not going to improve the situation, just give yourself one of those cards.
解析:自怨自艾,某種意義上也就是一個偏執(zhí)狂;杜絕自怨自艾;當(dāng)然也不應(yīng)走去“它怨它艾”的極端;能做的,就是成為一個“積極建造者”;不埋怨、不抱怨、努力建造、努力實踐,不管是精神層面的、物質(zhì)層面的、還是與人相處。
#16 because self-pity is a standard condition and yet you can train yourself out of it....what’s good for you is good for the wider civilization and rationalizing all these ridiculous conclusions based on the subconscious tendency to serve one’s self....You also have to allow for the self serving bias of everybody else, because most people are not gonna remove it all that successfully, the only condition being what it is. If you don’t allow for self serving bias in your conduct, again you’re a fool.
解析:繼續(xù)努力排除“自怨自艾”,否則就是一個傻子;但要寬容別人的“自怨自艾”,不完美苛求外在不存在“自怨自艾”,因為這是人間常態(tài),否則自己還是一個傻子。
話糙理不糙,傻不傻就在一念間;需要主觀多辨別、客觀對自己,還是一句話:多建造、少評價。
好了,就這樣。新的一周,建造愉快。
You’d think they are logically the same thing, they’re not. Those of you who have mastered algebra know that inversion frequently will solve problems which nothing else will solve. And in life, unless you’re more gifted than Einstein, inversion will help you solve problems that you can't solve in other ways. But to use a little inversion now, what will really fail in life? What do you want to avoid? Such an easy answer; sloth and unreliability. #11 If you’re unreliable it doesn’t matter what your virtues are, you’re going to crater immediately. So doing what you have faithfully engaged to do should be an automatic part of your conduct. You want to avoid sloth and unreliability.
#12 Another thing I think should be avoided is extremely intense ideology because it cabbages up one’s mind. You’ve seen that. You see a lot of it on TV you know preachers for instance, you know they’ve all got different ideas about theology and a lot of them have minds that are made of cabbage. But that can happen with political ideology. And if you're young it’s easy to drift in to loyalties and when you announce that you’re a loyal member and you start shouting the orthodox ideology out what you’re doing is pounding it in, pounding it in and you’re gradually ruining your mind so you want to be very careful with this ideology. It’s a big danger.
In my mind I got a little example I use whenever I think about ideology and it’s these Scandinavian canoeists who succeeded in taming all the rapids of Scandinavia and they thought they would tackle the whirlpools in the Aaron Rapids here in the United States. The death rate was 100%. A big whirlpool is not something you want to go into and I think the same is true about a really deep ideology. I have what I call an iron prescription that helps me keep sane when I naturally drift toward preferring one ideology over another. And that is I say “I’m not entitled to have an opinion on this subject unless I can state the arguments against my position better than the people do who are supporting it.
Now you can say that’s too much of an iron discipline, it’s not too much of an iron discipline, it’s not even that hard to do. It sounds a lot like the iron prescription of Ferdinand the Great, “it’s not necessary to hope in order to persevere." That probably is too tough for most people, I don’t think it’s too tough for me but it's too tough for most people. But this business of #13 not drifting into extreme ideology is a very very important thing in life if you want to have more correct knowledge and be wiser than other people. A heavy ideology is very likely to do you in.
#14 Another thing of course that does one in is the self-serving bias to which we are all subject. You think that your little me is entitled to do what it wants to do, and for instance why shouldn’t the true little me overspend my income? Well, there once was a man who became the most famous composer in the world but he was utterly miserable most of the time and one of the reasons was he always overspent his income, that was Mozart. If Mozart can’t get by with this kind of asinine conduct, I don’t think you should try it.
Generally speaking, #15 envy, resentment, revenge and self pity are disastrous modes of thought, self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia, and paranoia is one of the very hardest things to reverse, you do not want to drift into self-pity. I have a friend who carried a big stack of linen cards about this thick, and when somebody would make a comment that reflected self pity, he would take out one of the cards, take the top one off the stack and hand it to the person, and the card said, “your story has touched my heart, never have I heard of anyone with as many misfortunes as you”. Well you can say that’s waggery, but I suggest that every time you find you’re drifting into self pity, I don’t care what the cause your child could be dying of cancer, self-pity is not going to improve the situation, just give yourself one of those cards.
It’s a ridiculous way to behave, and when you avoid it you get a great advantage over everybody else, almost everybody else, #16 because self-pity is a standard condition and yet you can train yourself out of it. And of course a self serving bias, you want to get out of yourself, thinking that what’s good for you is good for the wider civilization and rationalizing all these ridiculous conclusions based on the subconscious tendency to serve one’s self. It’s a terribly inaccurate way to think and of course you want to drive that out of yourself because you want to be wise not foolish. You also have to allow for the self serving bias of everybody else, because most people are not gonna remove it all that successfully, the only condition being what it is. If you don’t allow for self serving bias in your conduct, again you’re a fool.
