Sahil Bloom: 我认为真正的快乐不在于达到目标的顶峰,而在于追求目标的过程。我过去三十年的人生决策都源于内心的不安全感,为了获得外界的肯定,我不断追求成就。直到我克服了这种不安全感,才意识到真正的快乐在于成为过程本身,在于不断成长和进步的旅程。没有人能从成功顶峰获得持久的满足感,只有在追求的过程中才能找到真正的快乐和意义。 我制定了24小时规则来应对社交媒体带来的即时反馈压力,避免情绪化地看待成果。我不会立即查看发布内容的反馈,而是会在24小时后以科学家的视角进行分析,找出哪些方面有效,哪些方面可以改进。这有助于我更理性地看待创作过程,避免被短期的反馈所左右。 建立信任比追求数据更重要,因为商业建立在信任之上。与其追求大量的粉丝和点赞,不如专注于建立与读者的信任关系。只有当读者真正了解并信任你时,你才能与他们建立深厚的联系,并建立成功的商业模式。 我从小在混合种族家庭长大,父母的爱情故事深深影响了我。父亲为了爱情放弃了整个家庭,母亲的父母虽然一开始有所顾虑,但最终接纳了父亲。这让我明白,爱是生活中最重要的东西。 我曾经错误地认为财富等于成功和快乐,但最终意识到这是一种误解。在高压金融工作中,我赚了很多钱,但内心却非常痛苦。我的健康、人际关系和心理健康都受到了严重影响。直到我与朋友的一次谈话,才意识到与亲人相处的宝贵时间是有限的。这促使我辞去工作,搬到离父母更近的地方。令人惊喜的是,我的妻子很快怀孕了,这让我明白,当你的能量与目标一致时,一切都会好起来。 感觉迷茫和不知所措是因为缺乏掌控感,而采取行动可以重新获得掌控感。即使是微小的行动,也能证明你有能力改变生活。在做出重大改变之前,我做了很多小的改变,这让我更有信心去面对挑战。 在人生低谷时,得到他人的支持和信任至关重要。我妻子对我的信任和支持给了我巨大的力量,让我能够克服困难。在任何关系中,每天表达感激之情至关重要。这有助于维持健康的人际关系,尤其是在养育孩子之后。 我的生活目标是创造积极的影响,通过表达善意来实现。即使是微小的善意,也能在生活中产生积极的涟漪效应。 成为父亲让我更加理解母亲对孩子的爱,并重新审视自己与母亲的关系。我意识到,并非所有时间都平等,某些特定时刻的价值更高。我努力在工作和家庭之间取得平衡,珍惜与孩子相处的宝贵时光。 在追求财富的过程中,定义“足够”的概念至关重要,过高的期望值是最大的财务负担。我曾经认为财富等于成功和快乐,但现在我意识到,真正的财富在于拥有健康的身体、良好的人际关系和充裕的时间。 购买物品应注重其内在价值而非炫耀性价值,追求“赢得的地位”而非“购买的地位”。我希望儿子从小明白延迟满足的重要性,这不仅适用于金钱,也适用于生活的其他方面。我现在过着梦想中的生活,但这并不意味着生活会一帆风顺,我将继续努力,对他人产生积极的影响。 Lindsay Krista
