Topics
Jack Conte: 我的人生第一个原则是掌控人生,成为自己行动的掌舵者。在生活中,我们要对自己负责,不能把责任推卸给别人。这源于我的滑翔伞经历,在高空中,任何错误都由自己承担后果。这种思维方式也适用于我的生活和工作,我不会因为别人的期望而背叛自己。我会坚持做自己认为正确的事情,即使这会带来冲突,但最终会带来幸福和满足感。在Patreon的工作也强化了这种意识,作为CEO,我为公司的一切负责,这既可怕又赋能。 我坚信,区分责任非常重要。别人的感受是他们的责任,不是我的责任。例如,如果我选择不读大学而成为音乐人,即使这令他人失望,那也是他们的感受,与我无关。这种对责任的区分,让我更有行动力,也更快乐。 Jack Conte: 我的第二个原则是积极进化大脑。大约十年前,我克服了严重的飞行恐惧症,这让我意识到,我们可以改变大脑中根深蒂固的思维模式和行为模式。通过认知行为疗法,我成功地‘重写’了大脑中关于飞行的程序。这让我明白,很多生活中的问题,其实都是大脑中一些‘小模块’造成的,我们可以通过努力去改变它们,从而改变对世界、生活和自身的看法。我不断努力改变自己,从一个容易被他人影响的人,变成一个更有主见,更有行动力的人。 我从害怕飞行到独自一人在云层中滑翔,这足以证明人是可以改变自己的大脑,成为自己想成为的样子。很多人认为人很难改变,这是错误的。只要我们有决心,并采取行动,就能改变自己。 Jack Conte: 我的第三个原则是将改变视为机遇,而非威胁。我从很小的时候就接触新技术,并从中受益匪浅。我记得当年用电脑录音时,有人说那不是真正的音乐,但事实证明,新技术最终会改变人们的观念。历史一再证明,那些拥抱新技术的人,最终会取得成功。那些抵制新技术的人,最终会被时代所淘汰。 在做YouTube视频时,也有人批评我‘倒退’,但我认为这是我掌控创作的机遇。我不再依赖于Netflix等平台的许可,而是自己掌控创作的节奏和方向。我鼓励大家拥抱改变,利用新技术实现自己的目标,不要被那些批评的声音所吓倒。那些早期拥抱新技术的人,最终会被历史铭记。

Chapters
This chapter explores Jack Conte's first rule: taking full responsibility for one's life decisions. It uses the analogy of paragliding to illustrate the concept of 'pilot in command,' emphasizing personal agency and the importance of avoiding the blame game. The discussion extends to the implications of this rule in both personal life and professional settings.
  • Taking ownership of decisions, both successes and failures.
  • The concept of 'pilot in command' from paragliding.
  • The importance of personal agency and avoiding the blame game.
  • Application of this principle to professional life, especially in leadership roles.
