背景知識(shí)介紹:
人們最常問的關(guān)于自身的問題是什么?
Tal博士認(rèn)為,人們常問的是“我的缺點(diǎn)是什么,我哪方面需要改進(jìn)?”而幾乎不問“我的優(yōu)勢是什么,我具備哪些美德?”。
確實(shí),關(guān)于自己缺點(diǎn)的問題很重要,但是,如果我們問自己唯一的問題都是關(guān)于自身缺點(diǎn)的,那我們看到的就只能是自身的缺點(diǎn)和不足。而一個(gè)只能看到缺點(diǎn),不欣賞自身優(yōu)勢和熱情的人,如何能自我尊重,自信以及快樂?
因此,Tal博士認(rèn)為,欣賞好的事物非常重要,要學(xué)會(huì)“Appreciate”.

It is important to appreciate what is good, I mean, look at the word "appreciate". Two meanings. First meaning, to say thank you for something, not to take it for granted, and that's a nice thing to do. We shouldn't take for granted, our virtues, our successes. We shouldn't take for granted others. That's a nice thing to do. But "appreciate" has a second meaning, which is to grow. Money appreciates in the bank, the economy hopefully appreciates. When we appreciate the good, the good appreciates, the good grows. Unfortunately, the other side of the same coin applies as well. When we don't appreciate the good, when we take it for granted, the good depreciates.
欣賞好的事物非常重要??纯础癮ppreciate”這個(gè)詞,有兩層意思。其一就是對(duì)某事物心存感激,不認(rèn)為某事理所當(dāng)然。而這樣做很好。我們不應(yīng)該把美德、成功看成理所當(dāng)然的。對(duì)待別人的美德和成功同樣如此。心存感激是好的。但“appreciate”還有另一個(gè)意思就是增值。錢在銀行里升值,經(jīng)濟(jì)會(huì)增長。當(dāng)我們對(duì)好的東西心存感激,好的東西便會(huì)增值。不幸的是,反之亦然。當(dāng)我們不感激好的東西時(shí),把它看成理所當(dāng)然的事情的話,那么,好的東西就會(huì)貶值。
