CH6 You are wrong about everything
Guiding Question
1.Why “we are wrong about everything”?
Because we always in the process of approaching truth and perfection without actually ever reaching truth or perfection.
2. What caused “false memory syndrome”?
The memory that will gradually change just like telling a story from a person to another, after telling several people, the story is totally different from the origin.
3.Tell us a story where you had adamantly thought you were right, but later you found you were wrong.
I was easily get angry with my parents at before, and I thought it was all their fault. But now when I seem to get angry I ask myself why I got angry, most of the time it was my own problem. So I 'm trying to calm down when I felt agitated.
4. How to be a little less certain of yourself? Please include a personal example.
Ask yourself the following questions:
What if I'm wrong?
What would it mean if I were wrong?
Would being wrong create a better or a worse problem than my current problem, for both myself and others.
For example, if I get angry with my parents, ask myself these three questions, myself would doubt my previous reactions. This is a perfect way of reflection.
感想
看这一章的时候我一直都在想去年看的Beyond feelings这本书提到的内容：我们要审视自己的评判标准，比如今天中午和同事谈到最强大脑里的“水哥”，他可以在几十杯水中找出那杯一开始选中的水。同事说这完全是天分，如果在以前我也会这么认为。但是当看过《刻意练习》这本书以后，我对天赋的作用有了新的认识。水哥画了很多年的画，他自己也说他把每杯水气泡的不同位置和样子看成一幅画。这是他的方法，后续他必定经过了大量的练习。我们看到惊人的结果时总看不到其他人背后的努力。
所以应该经常去反问自己：为什么会有这种想法？为什么这样的评判标准？如果我有一个另外的判断是不是会让自己或者他人都更开心？
总之，永远保持一颗谦虚的心和学习的心，这样才能看到更多种的可能。
