效率与激情
这周在TED上看到了一个关于设计拯救报纸的视频。但是如果不是Apple4us的Blog文章,可能就错过了。另外发现已经有人在做TED的中文化工作,叫做TED中国粉丝团。我觉得TED也可以算是一个非常好的听书资源吧,不但提供网上视频,还提供MP4的下载。好了,还是回到我们的文摘上来,这位设计师最后的一段话蛮值得回味:
You can live in a small, poor country; you can work for a small company, in a boring brunch; you can have no budgets, no people; but still you can put your work to the highest possible level. And everybody can do it. You just need inspiration, vision and determination. And you need to remember that to be good is not enough.
有兴趣?看下边的视频咯:
兴趣与意义
这周看到几篇关于寻找意义与激情文章。ZenHabits上贴出了The 5 Percent Trick: Finding Passion and Purpose in Life,里面提到一个实现你的梦想的小方法。也就是每天早上醒来,在下面这种句式的句子里填进去你想到的东西:
If I were to be 5% more responsible today, I would ___________.
If I were to be 5% less lazy today, I would ___________.
然后就去做吧。据说这种5%的小提升,能够帮助我们克服恐惧和拖延哦(其实我蛮怀疑的^^)。而Dustin Wax在Lifehack上面讲了他问学生为什么要来上他的课,结果超过3/4的学生回答说“I’m just here for the requirement”。我觉得文章中他问的几个问题我们也可以问问自己:
How many things do you do every day that, if asked, you’d be hard pressed to explain why you’re doing them? How many tasks have no meaning at all for you, no real "fit" in the Big Picture of your life?
这周读完了李笑来的《把时间当做朋友》,摘到了不少好东东。而前言中的这段话甚合我心:
