Thoughts
我们以自己的惯有想法待人判事，并认为自己是客观的。
Unaware, we will project our intentions on their behavior and call ourselves objective.
其实大部分时候只是出于感觉而已。并没有经过多少理性的思考。就像是手碰到滚烫的杯子会急忙收手，只是一种自发的反应而已。那这种自发的反应收到什么影响？Genetic determinism,psychic determinism and enviornmental determinism。
简单说就是先天和后天的双重影响。第一天的笔记里我就提到过，我们的脑子里的固有观念不一定都是对的，所以要多跳出这种自发的反应像局外人一样看看自己的想法。
那怎样才能像书里说的变得proactive？
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person.
让理性战胜感性。我们对很多事情的反应都是天生的。比如雨天更容易让人忧郁。而且人们天生更容易记住那些伤害过自己的事情。因为我们的祖先只有记住这些伤害，比如被猛兽袭击，才能更好的躲避危险存活下来。
因此，我们要多主动的引导自己的思维走另外一条路。自发的反应就像是心里一头自由的大象，而我们自己就像是骑象人。骑象人要主动引导大象才能让他按照一定的方向前进。
尽管可能一路荆棘，我们无法改变环境，可是我们能控制自己如何应对环境，是悲伤还是快乐，都由自己决定。
No one can hurt you without your consent.
They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.
知道了这些道理之后并没有太大用处。
But many of them fail to take the necessary steps, the initiative, to make it happen.
更重要的是要行动起来。李笑来老师最近总是提到一句话：人至践则无敌。所以我们要训练自己心中那头大象，让他有一天能习惯的走上正确的大道。
