Part1 Read and Think

️1. What does Charles Bukowski’s success try to prove?

His success tries to prove that he didn't give a fuck about success, and just tried to be himself.People always think that self-improvment and success often occur together, but that doesn't necessarily mean their the same thing.

️ 2.What’s wrong with the conventional life advice, which is fixating on what you lack?

It always emphasizes something that you perceive your personal shortcoming and failures.

️ 3.Can you use your own words explaining what the Feedback Loop from Hell is?

恶性循环。越想越糟糕，越变越急躁，然后迷失自我。

Part2 感悟

What is wrong with me?

最近也不断的再问自己what is wrong with me?为什么读个研究生，让我觉得这么痛苦。然而还是在不断的给自己打鸡血，熬过这段日子，就好了。可事实却不是这样。记得刚上研究生时满怀期待，期待自己在第一年的时候就可以发文章，期待自己可以轻松的毕业。然而，一年半了，实验还是有很多的问题，从刚开始的信心满满到现在想放弃，甚至想过要退学。Charles Bukowski的例子也让我有所反思，我有真正的面对过自己吗？我有想试着去接受目前这样不符合期待的自己吗？我没有。我仍是骄傲的，骄傲的不认识自己。用各样的方式来填满那颗忧虑不安的心。想到圣经里有句话:我们有这宝贝放在瓦器里，要显明这莫大的能力是出于神，不是出于我们。 我们四面受敌，却不被困住；心里作难，却不至失望；  (哥林多后书 4:7-8 和合本)。
