Part 2 Thoughts
⊙ Be proactive
⊙ Take the initiative
我发现自己就是reactive person, 很容易受周围的环境与别人的观点影响。比如说，我不太喜欢下雨天，特别是那种绵绵细雨，一下就是半个月，那种潮湿，那种给生话带来的不便之感，让我不适，影响自己的心情，真的很郁闷。还有我曾经很在乎别人对我的看法，对自己的评价，我可能是打心里想给别人好的印象，对我有好感，所以很轻易因为别人一句话，一个眼神就敏感起来了，而且那样子真的会很累，要不断的去迎合甚至是讨好，才能做到让别人满意。后来有一天也许开窍了，发现无论你怎么做，做的再好，总会有人不喜欢你，那又何苦去热脸贴冷屁股，吃力不讨好呢。所以我有在慢慢改进，但我还达不到proactive person, 因为我还不能主宰自己的“天气” 。一步步来咯，慢慢变得强大，终有一天也会是proactive person.
Part 3 Accumulating a good sentence
No one can hurt you without your consent.
这句话让我思考颇多，“没有你的允许任何人都不能伤害你"。平时总觉得受到了伤害，那是因为没有意识到自己打心里给了别人伤害自己的权利。
