Shi Heng Yi: 我认为，要管理他人，首先要学会管理自己。自我掌控贯穿人的一生，就像训练肌肉一样，需要训练我们的身心。无论环境如何变化，唯一不变的是我们自己。因此，我们应该投资时间去了解和提升自己，关注每天给大脑输入什么样的思想，这会影响我们的生活质量。我曾经也是一个追求成就的工作狂，但后来我开始思考人生的意义。我开始通过观察我周围的事物来理解更多，我发现生活充满了模式。我们都需要在“行动”和“存在”之间找到平衡，在追求目标的同时，也要享受当下的平静。我仍然有目标和愿望，但我的愿望是经过深思熟虑的。我会认真思考将我的生命投入到什么事情中，如果我认为值得，我就会去追求。我试图阻止人们无意识地遵循那些无法带来满足感的结构和模式。

  • Self-mastery involves training the body and mind.
