Lesson3

Marva Collins

Ok, it’s hard, unfair, difficult. However, it’s your own responsibility. No one is coming. It’s up to you to make that difference in your life!

Collins’way---how can we cultivate the seed of generation in our student? If we only ask “how many geometric shapes do you see on the screen?” and then, we’ll miss the children on the bus, They completely missed the seed of greatness.

Questions make a difference!

Most people lead lives of quiet desperation.

Comfortably numb, how can we go beyond~?

How can we get beyond that “quiet desperation”?

幸福并不代表没有痛苦，幸福也不会自动降临。

心理健康模型：

1. Do we focus on weaknesses, which is the disease model, say let’s get rid of weaknesses? Or do we focus on strength?

The disease model, the optimum level is the zero: let’s just be OK; let’s just not hurt.

The health model, let go beyond that, let’s get excitement, feel

passion, not only the state of relax, it’s the creative tension. “Flow”we engage what we doing, much more than being “comfortable numb” not only rise to positive, but also can help us deal with desperation.

A failure of personal growth

Psychology is not just study of the disease, weakness, and damage, it also is the study of the strength and virtue, treatment is not just fixing what is wrong; it also builds what is right.

Build bridge:

将世界一分为二。

What the world needs is more than anything else, is practical idealists.

Sense of mission 使命感

Your desire to do good.

Self-esteem

Meditation actually transforms our brain.

Three physical exercises, 30 minutes each time has the same effect as powerful as our most psychiatric drugs.

The foundation of being an idealists is believe change is

possible.

第四课

The possibility of change!

The tip of the stem is actually about democratizing excellence. Study the best and applying it to the rest of us.

One of the most significant barriers to people doing things change the world, to actually introducing change is they underestimate their ability to bring about change.

All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.

改变是从一小部分人开始的，然后指数性的扩张，问题是如何让思想扩张？

Example of smile，Smile are contagious.

Exponential function，the power of one.

Premise number 3:

Internal factors versus external factors.

Income, statues, external circumstances make very little difference.

Not lower or high expectations---that’s won’t make a difference to our levels of wellbeing. What will make a difference to our levels of wellbeing is right or wrong expectation.
