Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.
-- Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.
-- Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.

IN ORDER TO GRADUATE, Newcastle students had to take a familiar concept and reimagine it. The school called it the “blue sky” project, a name that encouraged students to imagine futuristic products that weren’t constrained by current production capabilities
-- "After Steve"
为了毕业，纽卡斯尔的学生必须对一个熟悉的概念进行重新构想，学校称之为“蓝天”项目，这个名字鼓励学生想象不受当前生产能力限制的未来产品。

Kuhn argued that, while continuous progress is indeed characteristic of long periods of “normal science,” these periods are interrupted by periods of “revolutionary science” in which not only a scientific theory but also the entire conceptual framework in which it is embedded undergoes radical change. To describe this underlying framework, Kuhn introduced the concept of a scientific “paradigm,” which he defined as a constellation of achievements – concepts, values, techniques, etc. – shared by a scientific community and used by that community to define legitimate problems and solutions. Changes of paradigms, according to Kuhn, occur in discontinuous, revolutionary breaks called “paradigm shifts.”

库恩认为，虽然持续进步确实是长期“常规科学”的特征，但这些时期会被“革命性科学”时期所打断，在这些时期，不仅科学理论，而且它所嵌入的整个概念框架都会发生根本性的变化。为了描述这种潜在的框架，库恩引入了科学“范式”的概念，他将其定义为科学界共享的一系列成就——概念、价值观、技术等等——并被该群体用来定义合法的问题和解决方案。根据库恩的说法，范式的改变发生在不连续的、革命性的突破中，称为“范式转变”。
AI 的出现可能正在引发多个领域的范式转移。
AI won’t replace programmers, but rather make it easier for programmers to replace everyone else.

Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character. Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.

I was beginning to learn what all good pros and students of tennis must learn: that images are better than words, showing better than telling, too much instruction worse than none, and that trying often produces negative results.
-- The Inner Game of Tennis
我开始学习所有优秀的网球专业人士和学生都必须学习的东西：图像比文字更好，展示比讲述更佳，过多的指导不如没有，而且往往会产生负面结果。
I was going to skip entirely my usual explanations to beginning players about the proper grip, stroke and footwork for the basic forehand. Instead, I was going to hit ten forehands myself, and I wanted him to watch carefully, not thinking about what I was doing, but simply trying to grasp a visual image of the forehand. He was to repeat the image in his mind several times and then just let his body imitate.

我打算完全跳过对新手关于正手握拍、击球和脚步的常规解释。相反，我打算亲自打十个正手球，并希望他仔细观察，不要思考我在做什么，而是简单地尝试捕捉正手的视觉形象。他应该在脑海中重复这个形象几次，然后让身体模仿。
The task is not to see what has never been seen before, but to think what has never been thought before about what you see every day.
-- Erwin Schrödinger
你不明白，一个灵魂的空间无法同时容纳大恨和大爱。它们无法在一间雕琢精美的屋子里并存。爱由想象力滋养，可以让我们变得更有智慧、更善良和更高尚。透过爱，我们得以把生命看成一个整体；透过爱，也只有透过爱，我们得以除欣赏别人的理想状态外还欣赏他们的现实状态。只有美好的事物和构思美好的事物可以滋养爱。相反，任何事物都可以滋养恨。
王尔德 -- 《自深深处》
Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

An old alchemist gave the following consolation to one of his disciples: “No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.
-- Carl Jung我去渡良濑川岸边的次数已经不下一百回，到处观察、拍照，工作日去、周末也去，白天去，夜里也去。至此，我为自己在东京都找找旧报道、点点鼠标就对案件妄下判断的行为感到羞愧。现场调查面临距离远、交通不便的问题，但不能什么都不做，就摆出一副什么都懂的样子。

The veteran professor, who has become a celebrity on social media, has published a book on how to better understand and use artificial intelligence in everyday life
Students who use AI as a crutch don’t learn anything. It prevents them from thinking. Instead, using AI as co-intelligence is important because it increases your capabilities and also keeps you in the loop. […]
AI does so many things that we need to set guardrails on what we don’t want to give up. It’s a very weird, general-purpose technology, which means it will affect all kinds of things, and we’ll have to adjust socially.
-- Ethan Mollick依赖人工智能作为拐杖的学生往往无法真正学到东西，因为这会抑制他们的思考能力。相反，重要的是将人工智能视为共智工具，因为这不仅能提升你的能力，还能让你保持在学习的环节中。[…]
人工智能的功能多样，因此我们需要设定一些边界，以确保不放弃我们不愿失去的核心价值。作为一种非常独特的通用技术，人工智能将对各个领域产生影响，因此我们需要在社会层面进行相应的调整。At first, I struggled to understand why anyone would want to write this way. My dialogue with ChatGPT was frustratingly meandering, as though I were excavating an essay instead of crafting one. But, when I thought about the psychological experience of writing, I began to see the value of the tool. ChatGPT was not generating professional prose all at once, but it was providing starting points: interesting research ideas to explore; mediocre paragraphs that might, with sufficient editing, become usable. For all its inefficiencies, this indirect approach did feel easier than staring at a blank page; “talking” to the chatbot about the article was more fun than toiling in quiet isolation. In the long run, I wasn’t saving time: I still needed to look up facts and write sentences in my own voice. But my exchanges seemed to reduce the maximum mental effort demanded of me.
-- Cal Newport起初，我很难理解为何有人会选择这种方式写作。与ChatGPT的对话总是漫无边际，仿佛是在挖掘一篇文章，而非创作。但当我思考写作的心理体验时，开始意识到这个工具的价值。ChatGPT并非一次性生成专业文章，而是提供了起点：有趣的研究思路可以探索；经过充分编辑的平庸段落可能会变得实用。尽管效率不高，这种间接的方法确实比盯着空白页要轻松；与聊天机器人“交流”关于文章比在寂静中埋头苦干更有趣。从长远来看，我并没有节省时间：我仍需查找事实并用自己的声音写作。但这些交流似乎降低了对我心理努力的最大需求。
