Ryan: 本期节目探讨了Seneca关于生命意义的观点,以及如何从生活中获得成就感,并介绍了George Raveling的著作《What You’re Made For》及其核心思想——从混乱中创造秩序。 本期节目还介绍了George Raveling的个人经历和观点,以及他如何通过设定每日任务、注重细节等方式来应对生活中的挑战。 最后,节目总结了George Raveling的哲学思想,鼓励听众相信自己能够从混乱中创造秩序,并找到自己的人生方向。 George Raveling: 我认为人类的一个基本目的是从存在的混沌中创造秩序和结构。世界充满了不可预测性,前进的道路很少清晰或直接,总会有障碍需要克服,挫折需要应对,以及意想不到的岔路需要导航。 在混乱中存在着机会,有机会创造我们自己的道路,在没有意义和目标的地方创造意义和目标。古埃及的Ma'at概念代表秩序、平衡、和谐、正义和真理,与之相对的是Isfet,代表混沌和无序。Horus和Set的故事生动地说明了秩序与混乱之间的永恒斗争。 Horus通过坚持和专注于目标,最终战胜了Set,恢复了Ma'at。这象征着我们克服生活中的混乱,创造秩序和意义的过程。Bob Knight的例子也说明了计划和细节的重要性,我在自己的教练生涯中也应用了这一原则,通过分享故事和文章来帮助球员们在篮球之外看到生活的更多方面。 大脑中可能存在一个内置的机制来对自然世界进行分类,这对于我们理解环境至关重要。我们应该拥抱混乱和不确定性,将它们视为创造结构和意义的机会。创造秩序是一个持续的过程,需要愿景、纪律、韧性和适应性。当我们接受从混乱中创造秩序的挑战时,我们就能获得能够支持我们度过人生考验的意义和目标。
