Importance of finding out your Signature Strengths - http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au[..]ature-strengths-and-trading-success.html

索托說：“你應該從改變行為做起，接下來，如果你能長期保持這種新行為，這種行為就會被鎖定下來。”他說，如果能獲得心理治療師的指導，你可以在幾個月之內看到持續的變化。你也可以學著自己管理你的性格特征，只是要花費比較長的時間。
那么，你應該從哪做起呢？加州德爾馬(Del Mar)的心理學家理查德‧萊瓦克(Richard Levak)表示：“首先，我們必須認識到性格中有哪些因素對我們構成了影響。如果我愛發牢騷，好爭辯，還有點多疑，我總是因為跟同事吵架，老是責怪別人而被解雇，那我就必須意識到得改變一下。”
萊瓦克說，這和糾正暴飲暴食這種壞習慣相似。要想減肥，你就得認識到自己什么時候以及為什么會暴飲暴食。萊瓦克博士表示：“如果你有戒心過重和好斗的傾向，你就要對自己說：‘好的，當我老板過來跟我說話，而我立馬感覺老板在挑我的刺，想要自我防衛的話，那我就是反應過激了。’讓自己冷靜下來，不要爭吵。”
不要把期望值定得太高。耐心一些。索托博士說，要把一種有意為之的行為變成習慣，需要花費很長時間。不要太擔心其他人的反應，因為你的變化通常是他們樂于見到的。

有趣的是，教授說切忌養大自尊心。她發現，美國加州很多關懷青少年的機構都提倡建立自尊心（Self-Esteem），卻無助吸煙、毒品等問題。因為自尊心由「成功」養大，遇到「失敗」馬上危危乎。它的本質已有比較，要成為自尊心強的人，你就要覺得自己很特別，也比他人強。

1)  How does the person spend his or her free time?  Per Ayn Rand's observation above, what does he or she do for enjoyment?  

2)  How does the person respond to your successes?  Many people are willing to commiserate with you when you're down and elevate themselves in the process.  A person of genuine goodwill celebrates your successes and is happy for your happiness.

3)  What strong beliefs does the person voice and live through their actions?  Character means standing for what you believe in and living your beliefs.  Go along and get along might be comfortable, but commitment is what powers effective action in the world.

Rarely will I get through every section of every book.  The idea is to create a kind of dialogue among the authors, identifying points of overlap and difference.  Very often, the ideas from one book will trigger ideas that have you scouring the other books for elaboration.  The mixture of ideas from several books will lead to a thought that is not contained in any of the books.  When you read in parallel, it's like being in the room while the authors are conversing.  The intersecting of ideas almost always stimulates fresh ways of thinking about (and applying) the topic at hand. - http://traderfeed.blogspot.hk[..]ding-in-parallel-becoming-better-at.html

專家回答：這不容易，但還是有可能的。人際關系專家兼咨詢專欄作家April Masini說：“家長既要讓孩子繼續保持這種精神氣，又讓他們知道自己行為的後果，要在兩者之間找好平衡點。”她稱，家長可以通過具體的事例，來給孩子講述，在什麼場合、用哪些方法來質疑老師和長輩是OK的，還要解釋這樣做的可能後果。你這樣教育的目的，是讓孩子知道，有時候規則可以打破，邊界可以移動，但行為卻是會帶來風險的。 http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20170222/LIF145613.asp?source=rss

4 ways of treating problems
Absolution: Ignore the problem and hope it either fixes itself or someone else solves it. Default.
Resolution: Either look to the past for previous solutions to the same problem OR identify and remove the causes of the problem. Satisfice.
Solution: Analyse using quantitative methods and / or experimentation to try to yield the best possible outcome. Optimise.
Dissolution: Eliminate the problem and prevent it from arising again by redesigning the system that has the problem or its containing system. Idealise.

阿师看世界永远像小孩子那样看，对琐碎事物的提问永远本着小孩子的好奇心，提出的问题永远是浅得像一个脑子没有发育得好的人。我是因为答不出他的浅问题而知道做学问要从最简单的层面入手，然后一层一层地加上变化。
一九六九年起我不再读他家之作。这行为八二年回港任教后多受批评，反映着中、西为学之道有别。在此之前的西雅图华大，诺斯、麦基、巴泽尔等人知道我选择不读不仅同意，且往往鼓励。他们知道传统的经济理论有很多问题，认为我是个可以全面革新该传统的人选。我自己当时的想法，是书永远读之无尽，求学有读书的时候，也有思想的时候，思想时可以不读最好不读。

Critical thinking is an unnatural act. We evolved to survive in a cruel world, not to play around with our hacks. To make things worse, we evolved in a herd, which means that we intuitively respect the authority of the leader. But we also have to be creative, so we have to respect ourselves first. Finding the right dose of self-respect is a crucial thing in creative work. Too little self-respect could destroy our motivation and creativity, and too much will interfere with our ability to estimate the value of our ideas, and can easily result in investing time, money and effort in worthless projects.

Noone is born a critical thinker, but almost anyone can become one. Think about what [Edward de Bono] said:

“The need to be right all the time is the biggest bar to new ideas. It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong than to be always right by having no ideas”.

转谈艺术。艺术当然要讲技术，不容易，要多下功夫。论技术，我认为艺术比科学重要。一位技术超凡的画家，想象力不足道，其作品可以卖得起钱。有大成的艺术家呢？单凭技术不足够，加上想象力超凡也不足够——不可或缺的是感情的表达。后者是艺术的主要困难所在。科学是不需要表达感情的。 - http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_47841af70102wca6.html
