拖延症 Procrastination

March 1st, 2010

 

我有拖拖拉拉的毛病,转这篇文章给自己看,警醒一下并加以改正。

Procrastination的形成

1.一个人认为自己5天之内可以做完一件事情,所以在离deadline还有15天的时候一点不着急,直到最后只剩5天了才开始。
2.这种紧迫感和焦虑往往促发人的斗志,会让自己觉得,自己只有在压力状态下才有做事情的状态。
3.最后拿到成绩的时候,成绩往往不是很差,这样子就强化了自己最适合在deadline之前短期高压的状态下工作的心态,并且对以后的行为不断进行自我暗示。

这一个部分写得非常符合大部分有拖沓习惯的中国学生的经历。因为中国学生往往非常聪明,所以哪怕最后只剩一点点时间了,也会完成得不错;从而自认为自己最适合这样子的工作状态。周而复始,反复循环。

Chinese new year Parade

February 27th, 2010

 

It’s said that the Chinese new year Parade in San Francisco is the most biggest parade outside China. Hundreds of performers will go through the route and appear traditional actings. On hearing the news, I invited some classmates, Noémie, Hunji, Sanaan, Hana and Yiwei, five beautiful girls, to visit the parade together.

We fixed a time for the meeting at the Market St & 3rd St, which was the place where parade would begin. When I got there at 4:30pm, the police  just got off the ground to block the section where the parade would pass. At 5 o’clock, more and more people gathered alone the Market St.

Some were sitting on the curbstones and some were standing behind the barriers set by the police; some were coming alone and some were with family or friends; some were yellow race and some were black or white. In a nut shell, this place was filled with various people. We came here for the same thing: New Year, New Hope.

蜗居里的台词

February 27th, 2010

 

在蜗居的第十三集,海藻开始堕落到与宋思明的非正常关系中。虽然是非正常关系,但前半段宋思明给海藻说的关于精神快乐的话挺有些道理,特听录如下:

宋:我希望能在物质上帮助你,并且最终让你获得精神上的快乐

海藻:你以为拥有物质,就会拥有精神啊?

宋:不会的。精神要更强大一些,但通往精神的路很多,物质是其中一部分。

海藻:(低头不语)

宋:你知道为什么毒品会带给人快乐吗?因为吸食毒品,会直接刺激一些中枢神经。你这边一吸呢,大脑那边愉悦神经的图表上就会闪现火花。

海藻:(抬头看着宋)

有啥好羡慕的,把自己的路走精彩了,就不必羡慕他人了,羡慕不来的

February 24th, 2010

 

有个好久没聊的朋友,刚给我发QQ信息,聊到我出国读书,他说很羡慕,我说了如上的话。

这不是我安慰他,而是自己的真心所想。

米国春节,就相当于在广州过国庆,who cares

February 21st, 2010

 

很多朋友都问我:在美国过春节怎么样?

实在不怎么样。就是和家人一起吃了顿自己做的大餐,然后陪他们打了打麻将,仅此而已。

但又不好将别人的关心生生地掰回去,就发明创造了标题的话。

蜗居,普通的80后普遍的痛

February 21st, 2010

 

很少看国产的电视剧,但《蜗居》这个题材实在是太命中现在中国社会的所谓准主力军–“80后”,刺激到了他们心中的伤痛。

刚才我看的是第10集,这一集是该剧迄今为止把人物性格和内心深处的想法揭露的淋漓尽致的一集。这一集里,苏淳被海萍逼得去借高利贷付首付,海萍却因此而气得想离婚。在海萍和海藻的对话中,她说如果一旦让她大富大贵,她就立即离开苏淳,一刻都不耽误。我相信女人普遍会有这种想法,很现实很势利很无情,但我也相信她说的话:“爱情是什么?只是没钱的男人骗女人的鬼把戏。要真有诚意,就给一套房子,让他伤了女人的心后,还能让女人的身体有个着落之处。”

“独自等待”

February 20th, 2010

 

今天看了一部电影,国产的,具体点来说,是北京产的。08年就下载到硬盘里搁着,放到现在才由于无聊而打开看了看,谁知道看完它,让我大呼:要是早点看这部电影,就能早点明白里面说的道理,或许,上次就不会那么伤了。

[hidepost]

片名叫《独自等待》,片尾才出现的副题很点睛–献给从你身边溜走的人。由夏雨、李冰冰还有一个挺漂亮但不知名的妞主演。或许因为李冰冰的缘故:北京妞,有着浓浓的北京味儿,再加上那段纠结的情感故事,勾起我内心深处的沉寂。

a bad lucky trip to school

February 16th, 2010

 

Morning, the 24 bus had been late for 10 minutes. And just going 20 meters, the driver let all the passengers transfer to another bus parking by the way. That made me 15 minutes later than usual. At one stop, there were 20 little kids going up the bus, chatting and noising.

When I transferred to 31 bus, it dropped its electrical wire so the driver needed to get off the bus to fix the problem.

What a sucking day!

20部不可不看的商业教学大片

February 8th, 2010

 

嘉殷推荐给我看的一个关于商业题材的电影List,是她以前教授传授给她的,又传给我了,一浪接一浪啊,哈哈哈~~~

赶紧把他们给BT/EDONKEY下来,附相关地址,趁未失效前都扒下来吧 :D

~~~~~~~~~~微光粼粼的正文分割线~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

精心挑选的20部必看电影,可以学到的商业社会必须的经济常识,以及每天都发生着的经济欺诈。

通过20部影片的深刻剖析,尤其是从经济学角度,商业法角度,以及大众社会行为心理的角度进行诠释,通过这种诠释,让读者能够从影片中真正看到金融行业的运作方式,大公司政治的驱动动机,公司办公室员工之间的勾心斗角。人类创造了今天的经济社会,创造了法人这个以公司的名字满足个人私欲的群体形式的称呼,一切的一切都在影片中生动地揭示了出来。

在复杂的商业社会,你想创业,不懂经济,不懂商业,不懂人情世故,不懂法律边沿,你只有勇气,只有梦想,只有天真,只有一场空。

这20部商业片都是英语国家孩子在学习商业知识方面必须看的影片。其中包括哈佛商学院一直排第一位的《华尔街》,还有沃顿商学院排第一位的《Trading place》。斯坦福要求商科学生必须看的《boiler room》。

总之,一一看后,算是真正懂了一点西方商业的本质。

The Flower Street in San Francisco

February 6th, 2010

 

Uncle Yiwei and me went to visit the flower street in China Town. What is the flower street? It’s a traditional festival that is one composition of Spring Festival – Chinese New Year.

To support the festival, DPC (I don’t know what is DPC, like some kind of police) block several streets and direct traffic. Thank them for their efforts.

You can see that there are many people joining the Festival. But it is still not so crowded as in China.
