William Damon Fall 2008 【 An open letter to the next president of the U.S.A by Prof. William Damon, published a few months ago. 】 T he most pressing problem in education today is student disengagement. This problem is not confined to disadvantaged neighborhoods, failing schools, or poorly-run classrooms (although it may have especially devastating impact in such settings). Even in the most privileged schools, there are students who find little meaning in the work that they are expected to do. Some of these disengaged students do their work dutifully but without interest, getting by with whatever will earn them good enough grades to keep out of trouble. Others shirk their academic assignments entirely. With the exception of a relatively small proportion of students (in the diverse national sample of my recent study, about one in five), young people in our country do not see the link between what goes on in their ...

有幸听得一讲座，题为《走出象牙塔》。初看此主题，就在想主讲人会从什么样的角度来阐述？因为这个问题，也困扰我很久。 贺岭峰：吉林大学心理学系，心理学博士，现任上海政治学院心理系副主任、教授、硕士研究生导师、国家级心理咨询师考评员、东方电台嘉宾主持、上海市公安局和江苏省体育局特聘专家，资深心理咨询专家。 开场只是谈起如今的就业压力、经济环境。对毕业生和将来的毕业生来说，压力是显然的——首先给听众脆弱的神经好好刺激一下。感觉倒还是很像一句话：要么好好活着，要么赶紧去死。 可是不能轻易寻死！不过是要教你认清事实，坦然地面对。那么，也请试想一下，如果你被谋杀，最可能会是谁呢？（听起来像是心理学者的职业病，分析下来挺有道理）。 想这样的问题，是为了首先善待他/她。生命都掌握在他人手里，还有什么不可以做的呢。推而广之，善待身边的人。 那么你如何看待周围的人呢？在你眼里，他人会不会是“shi”？曰：在上帝眼里，周围都是天使；在狗眼里，周围很多狗屎！所以，降低自己的姿态，多留一些善意的种子。而对于朋友，要留心三类：推销型、信息型和专业型。此20％的朋友会带来80％的机遇。 同样，对待自己，不可过分重视自己（走向精神分裂）、乐观和相信自己（相信自己有好的老板、好的同事、好的事业和机遇）、看别人给你带来快乐的一面。确实，心理暗示对于人的长期发展，意义重大，这点我很赞同。 长远来看，在社会里我们将享受到的更多是痛苦。积极的心态，痛并快乐，未尝不可以做到。

George Washington in his first Presidential Proclamation : "It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor."—October 3, 1789 Samuel Adams, father of the American Revolution : "It is therefore recommended ... to set apart Thursday the eighteenth day of December next, for solemn thanksgiving and praise, that with one heart and one voice the good people may express the grateful feelings of their hearts and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor ..."—November 1, 1777 (adopted by the 13 states as the first official Thanksgiving Proclamation) Abraham Lincoln, during the Civil War : "We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in ...

每天搜索各种各样的信息，开始明显感到信息爆炸的压力。 行业信息是打开电脑后必看的第一项。各个专业网站刊登行业动态信息，一个个看过来，心情好时一条条看，更多时候是吞枣般浏览过去。 金融危机带来的是另一大谈资。经济形势如何，又有什么惊人举动，经济网站的点击率急剧上升。 还有些无聊的，如开心网之类，又加入吃掉一些时间。 信息爆炸的时代，要取舍得当！
