- 你如何設立目標 How do you set goals? 每個人想獲得成功。例如,大多的人想致富或者想精通一個心技能。我最近在想,為了獲得成功,設立目標有沒有什麼必要。我覺得成功不一定與達成目標有關,而是養成很好的習慣,建立系統。設立目標對於跟蹤你的進度很有用,可是我認為目標不應該是終點。達成目標只暫時改變你的生活。 我看到一個亂房間的例子。如果你去整理這間房間,你會暫時有乾淨房,可是如果你養成不良的習慣導致房間很亂,讓你不斷追這個目標。另外一個例子關於減。有的人會覺得一達到他們的目標體重,他們可以回到原來的習慣。可是在這個情況裡,我覺得養成很好飲食跟運動的習慣比達到特定的目標體重更有意義。 Everyone wants to be successful. For example, a lot of people want to be rich or master a new skill. I was recently thinking, do we have to set goals in order to be successful. I think success is not necessarily about achieving goals, but developing good habits and putting systems into place. Goals can be useful in tracking your progress but I think they should not be an endpoint. Achieving a goal only changes your life for the moment. I read an example about the goal of cleaning a messy room. If you tidy the room, you will momentarily have a clean room, but if you have poor habits which result in this messy room, you are left constantly chasing this goal of having a clean room. Another example is if you want to lose weight. People may feel that when they reach their goal weight, they can go back to their old habits. However in this case, I would feel that developing good daily habits of eating and exercise are more meaningful than reaching a certain goal weight.May 23, 202060
- 偷還是分裂 Split or Steal 在YouTube上,我看過一個很有趣的社會實驗。這些人參加這個活動之前不知道這個活動會涉及什麼。這個影片顯示一個遊戲,叫 “分裂還是偷”何處六個大學生會分開兩隊。他們玩之前已經有別人解釋規則給他們。如果兩隊都選 “分裂”,兩隊都贏 $300. 每個人贏到$100。我覺得不錯。 如果一隊選 “偷”,另一隊選 “分裂”,選 “偷” 這隊會贏 $1000, 選 “分裂” 這隊什麼都不贏。如果兩隊都選 “偷”,兩隊什麼都不贏。每隊一起去不同間房間聊聊要選什麼。如果選 “分裂” 需要把藍色的張卡放進信封, 如果選 “偷” 需要把紅色的張卡放進信封。聊完,兩隊會重聚, 然後同時打開信封給另一隊看選了哪一張卡。結果,一隊選了“偷”, 另一隊選了 “分裂”. 選 “分裂”這隊想玩得比較公平,覺得應為每個人是大學生,所以每個人應該可以贏一點。他們希望另一隊的想法一樣。可是,另一隊不體貼,錢不都要贏。從這個活動,我覺得雖然這個遊戲沒有費用, 可是有些人很貪心。另外,有些人想選 “偷”, 也願意一無所有,而不是讓另一個隊如果選 “偷”,贏所有的錢。 如果你去玩,你會選哪一個選擇? I’ve seen an interesting social experiment on YouTube. Prior to attending this activity, they don’t know what the activity will involve. The video is of a game of ‘Split or steal’ where 6 college students form 2 groups of 3. The rules are explained to them prior to them playing. If both teams choose to split, both teams win $300. I think that’s not bad. If one team chooses steal, and the other team chooses split, the team that chose steal wins $1000 and the other team wins nothing. If both teams choose steal, then both teams win nothing. As a team, they have to decide between the 2 options. Each team goes into a separate room to discuss their choice. They have to place a blue card in the envelope for ‘split’ and a red card for ‘steal’. After discussing, the teams will reunite and then each team needs to reveal their card at the same time. In the end, one team chose steal and one chose split. The team that chose split thought they would play fair and thought that every person should win since they are all college students. They were hoping that the other team thought the same. However, the other team was not as considerate, they wanted to win all the money. I think this game shows that some people are greedy even though the game is of no cost to them. I also think some people would rather choose steal and risk leaving with nothing compared to letting the other team leave with all the money if they pick steal. If you played this game, what would you pick?May 8, 202040
- About hobbies<s>y</s>A hobby is an activity that brings you pleasure and allows you to relax or learn something new. I do a lot of things that I can refer to <s>the</s> as hobbies, <s>Bb</s>ut recently I discovered writing. I'm obviously not a great writer but I enjoy what I write. It can be a story about adults who turned into children at Christmas or just a description of nature. What I write helps me (get away/escape) from reality, think about things that we don’t appreciate with age and (find out/discover) my inner world. Also, when I write I have the desire to (know/learn) something new about some areas and sciences. <s>So </s>Therefore, I consider writing not only a way for me to relax <s>for me</s> but also part of self-development.0 votedMay 6, 20201
- I’m no longer afraid of deathI’m no longer afraid of death.I consist of the matter that is as old as <s>the</s> Earth, that of the atom. Their age is even equal to the cosmos’<s>s</s>.

- 買窗簾, Curtain shopping. 因為當前的情況,所以我全家人少一點出去。我們覺得現在是很好裝修和清理房子裡的機會。我媽媽想換客廳的窗簾因為很舊了。我們最近油漆客廳的一面牆,油得米色了,正好和窗簾的顏色相配。所以我媽媽想,我們應該選同一個顏色的新窗簾。我們在ebay上找到剛好尺寸的窗簾,顏色看起來也很像我們家裡的。可是我爸爸說,我們應該不在路上買的,因為雖然窗簾的尺寸剛好,但是顏色不一定正好。我們最好在商店選顏色。我同意, 可是我媽媽還是買了這個窗簾。一個星期以後,窗簾到我們的家了。我媽媽一開包裹,我看得出她很失望. 窗簾的顏色比較像黃色,沒有很像米色。他把窗簾掛上窗戶,希望他的感覺會改變, 可是他還是很失望因為新的窗簾的顏色和新油得一面強並不相配。 他馬上叫我退還這個窗簾。從這個經驗我們可以學到一個教訓。在網路上買東西有一些困難,尤其是當我們對顏色有特定要求. Because of the current situation, my family members have gone out less. We think this is a good opportunity to renovate and clean the house. My mother wants to change the curtains in the living room. We recently painted the living room wall beige and it matches the current curtain we have, therefore my mum hopes to find a curtain of similar colour. On ebay, we found a curtain with the right dimensions and the colour looked quite similar to ours. However, my father said, we probably shouldn’t buy it online because even though the dimensions are right, the colour might not be accurate. It's best to see the colour in the shop. I agreed, but my mum still bought it. A week later, the curtains arrived. When my mother opened the package, I could tell she was disappointed. The curtain was more like yellow instead of beige. She hung the curtain on the window, hoping her perspective on the colour would change. However, she still felt disappointed because the colour really didn’t match the newly painted wall. She immediately asked me to organise a refund. We learnt something from this experience. Shopping online is difficult, especially when we have specific requirements such as colour.May 4, 202070
