有时候我忘了我做这件事情的原因,我所做的事情时什么。你曾有过这种经历吗?我并不仅仅是在谈论记忆问题,虽然那也是有可能的。 Remember Why We are Doing Something 记住我们做一件事情的原因 Sometimes I forget why I’m doing that stuff and what I’m doing. Have you ever done that? I’m not just talking about a memory problem, although that might be too. I have called my friends because I want to tell them something. And then, when I picked up a place for a while and haven’t talked about anything particular, Well, I forgot why I called that person in the first place. That’s a memory problem. I guess that counts too. But I’m talking about a deeper bigger problem, why? At one point, there was a reason why we do something. For long-term projects, we need to remind ourselves of that reason. Why did I start to learn a language? Why did I join this club? Why was my friend this person? Why did I get married? I think we need indeed remind us of why. Or else it’s tough to finish what we started. We stop starting. We quit the club. We end our friendships. Our marriages get damaged. There’s nothing wrong with asking why. In fact, sometimes I think it can be very healthy and helpful to appreciate what you have and what we are doing Talk about it. Is there something you are doing, but you’ve forgotten why you starting it? Is it a kind of distant memory? Did you ever forget why you are doing something? How do you remind yourself of the reason why you are doing something? Do you write memos? Does your mind ever go blank and you may forget what you are doing? What are some other methods for you to prevent yourself from forgetting? What do you do when you see someone that you know, but have forgotten his name? |
