Sentence

(1)we’ve seen again and again that we are not one self, but multiple selves. Our human nature includes both the self that wants immediate gratification, and the self with a higher

purpose. We are born to be tempted, and born to resist. It is just as human to feel stressed, scared, and out of control as it is to find the strength to be calm and in charge of our choices. Self-control is a matter of understanding these different parts of ourselves, not fundamentally changing who we are. In the quest for self-control, the usual weapons we wield against ourselves—guilt, stress, and shame-don't work. People who have the greatest self-control aren't waging self-war. They have learned to accept and integrate these competing selves.

我们一次又一次地看到, 并不是只有一个自我,人是多个自我的混合体。人类的天性不仅包括了想即使满足的自我,也包括了目标远大的自我。我们生来就会受到诱惑,也能抵制诱惑。人类生来就能 感觉到压力、恐惧或失控,但同时也能让自己平静下来,能掌控自己的选择。自控力的关键就是理解这些不同的自我,而不是从根本上上改变我们自己。在追求自控的过程中,罪恶感、压力和羞愧是我们通常用来对付自己的武器,但都不起作用。自控力最强的人不是从与自我的较量中获得自控,而是学会了如何接受相互冲突的自我,并将这些自我融为一体。

(2)As you move forward, keep the mind-set of a scientist. Try new things, collect your own data, and listen to the evidence. Stay open to surprising ideas, and learn from both your failures and your successes. Keep what works, and share what you know with others. With all our human quirks and modern temptations, this is the best we can do-but when we do it with an attitude of curiosity and self-compassion, it is more than enough.

在未来的人生道路上,请保持科学家的心态。尝试新鲜事物,收集自己的证据,根据证据做出判断。对出人意料的想法保持开放的心态,从失败和成功中汲取经验教训。坚持有效的方法,和他人分享你了解的知识。面对复杂的人性和现代社会的诱惑,我们最好能做到这几点。但是,如果我们能保持好奇心和自我同情,那对付它就绰绰有余了。

——  启  发 ——

曾听过一个说法:每个人的心中,都有一个黑暗的地下室,每个人的心中,也都有一个天堂。其实每天我们的内在都有很多小人同时存在,我们是让这些内在小天使相互掐架?还是和平相处?或者共同跳舞?我们要学会接受相互冲突的自我,并将这些自我融为一体。

武志红在《你就是答案》这本书里有一个很棒的观点:"我们是更好地成为自己,而不是成为更好的自己 ,因为真实的自己,就是最好的自己"。我们经常自我暗示或者一些学习课程也会给到暗示:要去做最好的自己!做最好的自己,这个口号后面潜藏着我们对自己的不满,在这种状态下,一个人的能量场怎么会高能起来呢。每个人,无论高矮胖瘦,在这个世界上永远找不出完全相同的另一个人,每一个人都是独一无二的。去努力,和自己和平相处,看到自己的内在心理和行为,更好的成为自己....而不是刻意压抑控制自己。相信我们每个人都是天生携带高能的物种,这个能量场就看我们自己如何用。

原来,在意志力挑战中,最好的捷径不是暴力冲突,而是喜悦接纳。人和大脑和自身的相处模式,类同于人与人之间的相处模式,万变不离其本源:爱.....爱自己,爱身边人,爱天地万物,爱草长莺飞,爱日月星辰。

感谢《自控力》这本书给予我从“科学的视角”看待生活,看待自己的心理和行为。在未来的人生道路上,我将保持科学家的心态,尝试新鲜事物,保持好奇心,自我和解,悦纳他人,懂得分享,做一个脑中有知识,心中有阳光,脸上有笑容的生活实践家!

Summary

The book gives me common sense and the spirit of scientific inquiry.I will keep on training the brain and noticing our true feeling.I'm sure that self-awareness  can always be acounted on to help us do what is difficult, and what matters most.

I need to keep the mind-set of a scientist and try new things constantly. Come on!The future is very beautiful.
