@唐朝中国俊杰:成功的概念很抽象,怎样算是成功呢?
我:创业者要有良好的人生目标。
中国对成功的定义太肤浅了,成功就是名和利。其实每个人对成功的定义不同,达到自己的人生目标就是成功。成功的人可能是有钱的商人、有权高官、有名艺人或体坛健将,但也有可能是辛苦将小孩养育成人的普通家庭主妇、帮助病人的医生等。成功包含了快乐和满足,很多有成就的人不认为自己成功是因为他们还在寻找快乐和满足。每一个人都是贪婪的,但是不要太过分。

为什么长大以后反而不容易快乐?
谢熊猫君 http://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/xiepanda/19582894
看到知乎上的的一个问答:为什么长大后反而不容易快乐? 想起前几天看过的一篇文章,虽然讲的是美国年轻人为什么不快乐,但是我觉得可以基本可以翻译过来,讲一下任何地方年轻人的生活。========================= 这是韩梅梅。
韩梅梅是Y世代人,这代人出生于70年代末期刀90年代中期,俗称80后95前。她也是一个Y世代中很常见的雅皮士。 我对于Y世代的雅皮士有一种特别的称呼,我把他们叫做“Y世代主角特殊雅皮”(Gen Y Protagonists & Special Yuppies),简称Y皮士。和一般的雅皮不同,一个Y皮士是一种奇特的雅皮,他会觉得自己是一个很特别的故事的主角。 韩梅梅很满意自己的Y皮士生活,她很开心自己是韩梅梅。但是有一个问题——她不快乐。 要明白为什么为什么韩梅梅不快乐,我们首先要定义什么能让人快乐什么能让人不快乐。简化一下我们会发现: 快乐 = 现实 - 期望 这个公式很容易理解——当一个人生活的现状比他期望的要好,他就会快乐。当现实比期望要糟糕,他就不快乐。
下面我们要介绍韩梅梅的父母,韩爸爸和韩妈妈
韩爸爸和韩妈妈生于50、60年代。他们是韩爷爷和韩奶奶养大的。韩爷爷和韩奶奶出生和生长于国内政治动荡的年代,经历过战乱,忍受过贫穷,后来还目睹过饥荒和文革。无论如何,韩爷爷和韩奶奶不是Y皮士。
韩爷爷和韩奶奶们因为自己的经历,对于经济安全有着别样的执着。他们养育韩爸爸和韩妈妈的时候,为他们努力营造现实而又安稳的事业。他们想要韩爸爸和韩妈妈有比自己更好的生活,所以韩爸爸和韩妈妈在成长的过程中,追求的是一个安稳而小康的生活,如果用草坪来比喻的话就是这个样子:
韩爸爸和韩妈妈们从小被告知,只要他们踏实、苦干,他们就能获得这片绿色的草坪,当然他们需要长时间的勤奋工作才能达到这一切。下图的纵轴代表成功,横轴代表时间,在韩爸爸和韩妈妈心中,他们对于成功的期望是包括了一个长时间的努力过程的。
韩爸爸和韩妈妈们开始工作之后,经历了文革的结束和改革开放等等一系列积极的社会变化,社会变得异常的繁荣。家里不但能装上电灯电话,还能买得起自行车和彩电。韩爸爸和韩妈妈比他们预期的过得更好,这使得他们很满足和乐观。
更加安稳和满足的生活,使得韩爸爸和韩妈妈在养育韩梅梅的时候更加乐观和积极。不只是中国的韩爸爸和韩妈妈们,全世界的这一代父母都是类似的心情。他们从小就告诉韩梅梅们,她长大后能变成自己想要变成的那个人,从小给韩梅梅们灌注了这种特殊的主角定位。
这使得Y皮士对于自己的事业充满了希望,以至于他们父母那努力得来的绿油油的草坪显得微不足道了。Y皮士们期望的是种满了鲜花的草坪:
这种期望给了我们对于Y皮士的第一个重要信息: Y皮士们野心很大 Y皮士们需要的不只是安稳和小康的事业,因为安稳和小康对于Y皮士们来说太普通了。韩爸爸和韩妈妈们想要拥有安稳小康的事业,Y皮士们则想要自己有成就感的事业。
也就是说,Y皮士们想要和韩爸爸韩妈妈一样的经济繁荣,但是他们还想要事业给他们满足感,这个期望韩爸爸和韩妈妈们是没有的。
当然不止这样,就在Y皮士们的事业目标变得格外庞大的同事,他们从小就一直被灌输着另一个思想——你是个特别的人。
这给了我们对于Y皮士的第二个重要信息:
Y皮士们对于自身有很强的错觉 韩梅梅从小就被告知自己很特殊,所以她会不自觉的告诉自己:“每个人都会有一份给自己满足感的事业,但是我非常特别,我的生活和事业将鹤立鸡群。”所以不仅仅是Y皮士们作为一代人对于事业有着更高的期望,每一个Y皮士都觉得他注定能做得比别人更好。 如果回答我们的草坪比喻的话,每个人期望的自己的草坪不只是开满了鲜花,上面还奔跑着一匹高贵冷艳的独角兽: 为什么说这是种错觉呢?因为所有的Y皮士们都觉得自己很特别,而这就和“特别”的定义相违背了: 特别:tè bié【解释】不一般,与众不同。 根据“特别”的定义,绝大部分人是“不特别”的,不然“特别”就没有意义了。 有些读到这里的读者,可能心里会在想“说的没错啊,但是我确实就是那一小撮特别的人中的一个。”——这种想法其实就是问题所在了。
与此同时,另一种错觉伴随着Y皮士们开始工作而产生。韩爸爸和韩妈妈们的期望是通过他们多年的勤奋努力,他们能收获一个成功的事业。但是在韩梅梅看来,对于自己这样一个特别的来说,一个成功的事业是注定了的。她在开始工作之前对于事业的期望是这样的:
可惜的是,社会不是那么容易混的,而要收获一个成功的事业其实是相当困难的。成功的事业需要很多年的辛酸、努力和泪水来打造。即使是当下最成功的那些人,在他们20几岁的时候大部分也是没什么大成就的。 但是Y皮士们不会那么容易接受这个现实。 研究表明,Y世代人“有着不合实际的期望,并且不愿接受负面的回馈,还有着膨胀的自我意识…很多人的沮丧来自于他们自以为应得的东西没有被满足。他们总是觉得自己应该获得和自己的能力不相符的尊重和待遇,但是这种不相符导致他们得不到自己期望的东…如果一个人认为自己比周围的同事、同学更加优秀,但是说不出为什么的话,那通常是期望值的问题。他们在年轻时候被灌注自己很特别的信念,但是这种信念通常是没有根据的。”
现实是以实际表现为考量的,所以毕业工作后几年,韩梅梅发现自己处在了一个很让人沮丧的位置:
丰满的期待和骨干的现实,给韩梅梅留下了一个负的快乐分。 但是这还没完呢,除了上述种种,Y皮士们还要面对一个前所未有的问题: Y皮士们不断的面对着攀比 韩爸爸和韩妈妈年代人里面自然有一些比韩爸爸韩妈妈混的更好、事业更成功。虽然韩爸爸韩妈妈偶尔也会听说到自己老同学的美满生活,但是绝大多数时间,他们并不太清楚别人的生活和事业。 社交媒体的出现使得这一切对韩梅梅来说是截然不同的——(1)社交媒体上的人做的事情是很公开的;(2)大多数人在社交媒体上展现的是一个修饰过的自己,就好像用美图秀秀磨过皮的自拍照一样;(3)那些最喜欢吹嘘自己事业生活的人往往确实过得比较好,而那些混得一般的人一般不把自己的事业拿出来炫耀。
这使得韩梅梅产生了一种错误的认知,觉得别人都过得很好,这使得她更觉得自己过的糟糕:
这就是为什么韩梅梅过得不快乐、不满足。其实她的事业起步可能很正常,但是对她来说却是很失望的。 那么韩梅梅怎样才能开心起来呢? (1)保持原有的野心。世界充满了机遇,虽然成功没有那么简单,方向也不那么明显,但是野心伴随着努力是可以载你向前的。 (2)不要再以为自己很特别。事实上,现在的你不特别。你只是一个普通的、没有经验的年轻人通过长时间的努力,你可以变得很特别。 (3)忽略其他人。邻家芳草绿,隔岸风景好不是什么新鲜的错觉。其实每个人和你一样都会有疑惑和沮丧的时候,专心做自己的事情,就不会羡慕嫉妒恨了。
为何长大后反而不易快乐?
http://www.zhihu.com/question/20793684
对很多本来的爱好提不起兴趣,对于未来的工作一想到要用功利和目的为标定的态度来面对,就觉得活着很累。
想到所要做的一切都要问「为什么」,就觉得这生活过的太悲剧了。
------------------------------------
很久以前提了这个问题,感谢大家的回复,我希望各位都能快乐:)
提这个问题的初衷,更多是想探讨快乐的奥秘在哪里。希望智慧贤哲可以为我们芸芸众生开启一道善意的快乐之门。
再次感谢大家的回答,又引发了很多新的思考。
其实很想说,“效率达目标” “理性以思考” 和 “闲适生品味” “感性以体会” 在很多方面是矛盾的吧。显然,快乐这种感性至上的情绪往往和后两者关联更大些。毕竟,理性带来的快乐,犹如困难克服般无法持久。
而我们现在大部分的人生都在用理性的法则来运行,自然,快乐的根基少了很多。讨生活,还是要用理性的比较多吧。
即使,我们的人生,也仅仅是嗑药式自high的悲怆罢了。只不过,你现在嗑的药和我的不一样 :)
些许负能量,求粉碎机哈。
Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy
http://waitbutwhy.com/2013/09/why-generation-y-yuppies-are-unhappy.html
Say hi to Lucy.
Lucy is part of Generation Y, the generation born between the late 1970s and the mid 1990s. She’s also part of a yuppie culture that makes up a large portion of Gen Y. I have a term for yuppies in the Gen Y age group—I call them Gen Y Protagonists & Special Yuppies, or GYPSYs. A GYPSY is a unique brand of yuppie, one who thinks they are the main character of a very special story.
So Lucy’s enjoying her GYPSY life, and she’s very pleased to be Lucy. Only issue is this one thing:
Lucy’s kind of unhappy.
To get to the bottom of why, we need to define what makes someone happy or unhappy in the first place. It comes down to a simple formula:
It’s pretty straightforward—when the reality of someone’s life is better than they had expected, they’re happy. When reality turns out to be worse than the expectations, they’re unhappy.
To provide some context, let’s start by bringing Lucy’s parents into the discussion:
Lucy’s parents were born in the 50s—they’re Baby Boomers. They were raised by Lucy’s grandparents, members of the G.I. Generation, or “the Greatest Generation,” who grew up during the Great Depression and fought in World War II, and were most definitely not GYPSYs.
Lucy’s Depression Era grandparents were obsessed with economic security and raised her parents to build practical, secure careers. They wanted her parents’ careers to have greener grass than their own, and Lucy’s parents were brought up to envision a prosperous and stable career for themselves. Something like this:
They were taught that there was nothing stopping them from getting to that lush, green lawn of a career, but that they’d need to put in years of hard work to make it happen.
After graduating from being insufferable hippies, Lucy’s parents embarked on their careers. As the 70s, 80s, and 90s rolled along, the world entered a time of unprecedented economic prosperity. Lucy’s parents did even better than they expected to. This left them feeling gratified and optimistic.
With a smoother, more positive life experience than that of their own parents, Lucy’s parents raised Lucy with a sense of optimism and unbounded possibility. And they weren’t alone. Baby Boomers all around the country and world told their Gen Y kids that they could be whatever they wanted to be, instilling the special protagonist identity deep within their psyches.
This left GYPSYs feeling tremendously hopeful about their careers, to the point where their parents’ goals of a green lawn of secure prosperity didn’t really do it for them. A GYPSY-worthy lawn has flowers.
This leads to our first fact about GYPSYs:
GYPSYs Are Wildly Ambitious
The GYPSY needs a lot more from a career than a nice green lawn of prosperity and security. The fact is, a green lawn isn’t quite exceptional or uniqueenough for a GYPSY. Where the Baby Boomers wanted to live The American Dream, GYPSYs want to live Their Own Personal Dream.
Cal Newport points out that “follow your passion” is a catchphrase that has only gotten going in the last 20 years, according to Google’s Ngram viewer, a tool that shows how prominently a given phrase appears in English print over any period of time. The same Ngram viewer shows that the phrase “a secure career” has gone out of style, just as the phrase “a fulfilling career” has gotten hot.
To be clear, GYPSYs want economic prosperity just like their parents did—they justalso want to be fulfilled by their career in a way their parents didn’t think about as much.
But something else is happening too. While the career goals of Gen Y as a whole have become much more particular and ambitious, Lucy has been given a second message throughout her childhood as well:
This would probably be a good time to bring in our second fact about GYPSYs:
GYPSYs Are Delusional
“Sure,” Lucy has been taught, “everyone will go and get themselves some fulfilling career, but I am unusually wonderful and as such, my career and life path will stand out amongst the crowd.” So on top of the generation as a whole having the bold goal of a flowery career lawn, each individual GYPSY thinks that he or she is destined for something even better—
A shiny unicorn on top of the flowery lawn.
So why is this delusional? Because this is what all GYPSYs think, which defies the definition of special:
spe-cial| ‘speSHel |
adjective
better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual.
According to this definition, most people are not special—otherwise “special” wouldn’t mean anything.
Even right now, the GYPSYs reading this are thinking, “Good point…but I actually amone of the few special ones”—and this is the problem.
A second GYPSY delusion comes into play once the GYPSY enters the job market. While Lucy’s parents’ expectation was that many years of hard work would eventually lead to a great career, Lucy considers a great career an obvious given for someone as exceptional as she, and for her it’s just a matter of time and choosing which way to go. Her pre-workforce expectations look something like this:
Unfortunately, the funny thing about the world is that it turns out to not be that easy of a place, and the weird thing about careers is that they’re actually quite hard. Great careers take years of blood, sweat and tears to build—even the ones with no flowers or unicorns on them—and even the most successful people are rarely doing anything that great in their early or mid-20s.
But GYPSYs aren’t about to just accept that.
Paul Harvey, a University of New Hampshire professor and GYPSY expert, has researched this, finding that Gen Y has ”unrealistic expectations and a strong resistance toward accepting negative feedback,” and “an inflated view of oneself.” He says that “a great source of frustration for people with a strong sense of entitlement is unmet expectations. They often feel entitled to a level of respect and rewards that aren’t in line with their actual ability and effort levels, and so they might not get the level of respect and rewards they are expecting.”
For those hiring members of Gen Y, Harvey suggests asking the interview question, “Do you feel you are generally superior to your coworkers/classmates/etc., and if so, why?” He says that “if the candidate answers yes to the first part but struggles with the ‘why,’ there may be an entitlement issue. This is because entitlement perceptions are often based on an unfounded sense of superiority and deservingness. They’ve been led to believe, perhaps through overzealous self-esteem building exercises in their youth, that they are somehow special but often lack any real justification for this belief.”
And since the real world has the nerve to consider merit a factor, a few years out of college Lucy finds herself here:
Lucy’s extreme ambition, coupled with the arrogance that comes along with being a bit deluded about one’s own self-worth, has left her with huge expectations for even the early years out of college. And her reality pales in comparison to those expectations, leaving her “reality – expectations” happy score coming out at a negative.
And it gets even worse. On top of all this, GYPSYs have an extra problem that applies to their whole generation:
GYPSYs Are Taunted
Sure, some people from Lucy’s parents’ high school or college classes ended up more successful than her parents did. And while they may have heard about some of it from time to time through the grapevine, for the most part they didn’t really know what was going on in too many other peoples’ careers.
Lucy, on the other hand, finds herself constantly taunted by a modern phenomenon: Facebook Image Crafting.
Social media creates a world for Lucy where A) what everyone else is doing is very out in the open, B) most people present an inflated version of their own existence, and C) the people who chime in the most about their careers are usually those whose careers (or relationships) are going the best, while struggling people tend not to broadcast their situation. This leaves Lucy feeling, incorrectly, like everyone else is doing really well, only adding to her misery:
So that’s why Lucy is unhappy, or at the least, feeling a bit frustrated and inadequate. In fact, she’s probably started off her career perfectly well, but to her, it feels very disappointing.
Here’s my advice for Lucy:
1) Stay wildly ambitious. The current world is bubbling with opportunity for an ambitious person to find flowery, fulfilling success. The specific direction may be unclear, but it’ll work itself out—just dive in somewhere.
2) Stop thinking that you’re special. The fact is, right now, you’re not special. You’re another completely inexperienced young person who doesn’t have all that much to offer yet. You can become special by working really hard for a long time.
3) Ignore everyone else. Other people’s grass seeming greener is no new concept, but in today’s image crafting world, other people’s grass looks like a glorious meadow. The truth is that everyone else is just as indecisive, self-doubting, and frustrated as you are, and if you just do your thing, you’ll never have any reason to envy others.
