Nine common errors during thinking process

4.some contemporary issues

Who are you？

我是谁？我是我的名字吗？我是我的体重？我的学习成绩？我的习惯？我是我的身份？

my characteristic——Not only physic cal But The emothinal and intelletual as well.

Where are my characteristic come from?

How did you Get The way you are?

The impact of The world On all of us is much greater than We usually realize.

1.Identity

Your circumstance ,Your family Have some bearing On Who you are.

不管你现在的表现是接受你的环境还是抱怨反抗这该死的环境，这都是你对你所接受的一切教育的回应。

1.The role of mass culture

This approach is designed to appeal to emotions and create artificial needs for products and services.

Mass culture has made them impatient with The normal rhythms of life.

People Who adopt these values without questioning them may end up sacrificing worthy goals to their pursuit of'a Good time' and lots of money.

不单单是广告，现在很多知识性的分享网站、app,我在上面看到了无数比你厉害几百倍的人，开阔了视野是好的，但是却让我变得对现在的普通生活没有耐心。

2.Effects On self-image

It would be What you had come to believe about yourself,The conclusion you'd reached as a result of Your experience. However,it might  very well be a conclusion  you reached too soon.

自己对自己的看法是由以前的经验形成的？

而这份结论可能是错的？

The trouble was found to be Not In The conditions of his work But In his self-image.

Our experiences can work a kind of self-hypnotism On us,suggesting a conclusion about ourselves and then urging us to Make it come true.

失败过的经验让你形成自己会失败的结论，自己会失败的结论促使你相信自己的失败，从而让自己无法继续尝试。

问题：难道这个世界上每件事每个人都能做好吗？难道相信自己做不好的都只是被自己的刻板形象困住的吗？要怎么辨别是真的能力有限还是有能力做到只是不相信自己？

Significance of The early years

Emotionally stnted:Someone who cannot show emotions very well, or has not learned how to express love.

Individuals:thinking,self-directed people

They Have both a sense of their own worth and faith and trust In others.

Becoming an individual

The dog was doing What came naturally to him.but What came naturally was influenced by his experience.he was controlled by a force outside himself.

这种以前的经验对自己的影响属于外部力量。

Individuality is The habit of developing Your own personal responses to people,issues,and situation,rather than mindlessly endorsing The responses you Have been conditioned to make.

目前的理解:对一个事物，你可能马上会有一个反应。到这个反应一定是由你的经验形成的，那么对这个反应进行思考之后才是 Your own personal responses。所以Individuality 不是你的反应，而是你主动去形成＂response"的习惯。

Guidelins to chive individuality:

1.Tree Your first reaction to any person,issue,Or situation as tentative.Don't embrace it untill you Have examined it.

2.Decide why you reacted as you did.Consider whether you borrowed The reaction From someone else.If possible,determine What specific experiences  conditioned you to react thoa way.

问题：Decide,determine 都是决定的意思，什么叫决定你为什么有这种反应？

3.Think of other reactions You might Have had to The person,issue,or situation.

4.Ask yourself whether one of The other reaction is more appropriate than Your first reaction.

问题3：appropriate的判断依据是什么？

第二题第三题很难答，第二题是写不出十个，第三题是想不出为什么。

第四题的问题让我觉得想想是什么让自己有这种想法这一点很重要
