In order to afford the surgery, she had to accept a job that she dislikes: writing a biography for the father of an entrepreneur. Researchers found that it is the level of respect and admiration/,ædmə'reʃən/ we receive from peers that more likely predicts happiness than our overall wealth or success. In one experiment, more than 300 people answered questions about the respect and admiration they received within their friends, family, and work circles. They also reported their personal sense of power in those social circles, and how liked and accepted they felt, along with their income and happiness. You don’t have to be rich to be earn respect, but instead be a valuable contributing member to your groups.

Some internet users even say good prospects for Chinese science fiction movies have been dashed by the film’s failure. It doesn't matter what you are trying to become better at, if you only do the work when you’re motivated, then you’ll never be consistent enough to become a professional. He said that the ability to show up every day, stick to the schedule, and do the work — especially when you don't feel like it — is so valuable that it is literally all you need to do to become a professional. To get rid of an odd habit of involuntarily （/ɪn'vɑlən,tɛrəli/ 不自觉地）lifting his shoulder, he practiced his speeches in front of a mirror, and he even suspended a sword from the ceiling so that if he raised his shoulder, it would hurt. Just like each of us has probably spent many, many, many hours typing on a computer without getting faster, but if we spent 10 to 20 minutes each day to fully concentrate on typing 10 to 20 percent faster than our current speed, we will get faster, especially if we also identified what mistakes we're making and practiced typing those words. That's deliberate practice.

Those obstacles created a great deal of anger in him that eventually gave birth to his “art”. At the age of 13, while other classmates were playing sports or out partying, he was at home in his bedroom, writing his treatises (/'tri:tiziz/ 论文) and recording music. "I'd just sit down with a mic and record something, whether it was about dealing with some heartbreak from some girl or being too skinny because I couldn't gain weight. Just stupid stuff. And that's the only way I know how to communicate — just through music — I felt like I could say things that I can't relay (/'riːleɪ/ 传达) any other way."

His Christian parents simply said, “Praise God!” Soon after, Nick was old enough to go to school.

However, his mom fought for the law to be changed. “We may have absolutely no control over what happens to us, but we can control how we respond. If we choose the right attitude, we can rise above whatever challenges we face.” “Life did not guarantee any of us that we will not meet with difficulties, challenges and trials along the way. Our attitude must be right and it is that positive attitude that will help us to rise again much sooner than we think.” 背景音乐：Head Above Water; Dream it Possible

But actually perfectionists usually have lower self-esteem, because they criticize themselves all the time. Do you hate making mistakes? Do you worry about what people think of you? 你在意别人对你的看法吗？ Is being criticized or getting negative feedbacks upsets you? 如果听到别人对你的负面评价，你会不会很沮丧？ Do you replay in my head things you’ve done, because you worry you’ve offended someone? 经常脑子里回想你和别人说过的话做过的事，担心自己什么地方出错得罪了别人？ We know from clinician /klɪ'nɪʃən/ case reports that perfectionism conceals a host of psychological difficulties, including things like depression, anxiety, and even suicide intention. The first is self-oriented perfectionism, the irrational desire to be perfect: "I strive to be as perfect as I can be." 第一个是自我导向型的完美主义， 追求完美的非理性欲望： “我要努力做到尽可能完美。” The second is socially prescribed perfectionism, the sense that the social environment is excessively demanding: "I feel that others are too demanding of me." 第二种是社会定向型完美主义， 对社会环境对他们要求过高的感觉： “我感到其他人对我要求太高了。” And the third is other-oriented perfectionism, the imposition of unrealistic standards on other people: "If I ask somebody to do something, I expect it to be done perfectly." 第三种是其他导向型的完美主义， 把不切实际的标准强加于人： “假如我让人做事情， 我期待结果是完美的。”

今天又到周五啦，一周忙完有没有觉得很累呢，让我们一起来听听戳爷Troye Sivan和Lauv六公主两大男神合作写的I’m so Tired吧~ [ 英文参考 ] Lauv said he and Troye decided to get together to write a song after meeting a couple times. At first, they wrote a bad song. I have no confidence in any of my songs or ideas, so I’m always really nervously playing things for people. I was just like, “Let me see if he likes this.” That’s sort of my vibe, I guess. And I was like “Yo, what do you think of this idea?” Troye said, “I just like fully flipped out.” Flip out在这里是突然很兴奋很激动、乐翻了天的意思。 就比如说：When Troye saw that we'd prepared for his birthday party, he totally flipped out. “We were sitting in my backyard kinda just talking about that process of when you miss somebody and everything reminds you of them. You kind of on purpose listen to all the songs that you guys used to listen to together, or songs that you were listening to when you guys broke up.” “I think when you're going through a breakup it's a very, very lonely experience. Because the person that you would normally turn to to get you through this kind of thing in your life, you can't turn to them.” “I'm hoping that by talking about it and singing about it, hopefully this song is gonna be there for somebody when they're in that moment of, like, God I just really, really wish you were here and miss you, and I'm lost without you kinda thing. I hope that they can listen to this song that kind of, in a strange way, a little bit uplifting while still feeling understood by it.”

《蜘蛛侠—英雄远征》Spider-Man: Far From Home不知道你去看了没有。 节目全文可关注【WeChat威信号：Zoey八点英语】回复【蜘蛛侠】获取 [ 英文参考 ] Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Peter Parker returns in Spider-Man: Far From Home. He decides to join his best friend Ned, MJ, and his classmates on a European vacation to take a break from his superhero life. But his plan was quickly scrapped when he agrees to help Nick Fury to uncover the mystery of several elemental creature attacks. This is a journey for Peter to figure out who he really is, not who people want him to be. We need to define our fears and face them, rather than escaping from them. The hard choices -- what we most fear doing, asking, saying -- these are very often exactly what we most need to do. And the biggest challenges and problems we face will never be solved with comfortable conversations, whether it's in your own head or with other people. 背景音乐：Starry starry night

《千与千寻》18年后重映，你们去看了没有？是不是感觉看懂了很多以前看不懂的东西呢？ [ 英文参考 ] In my grandparents' time, it was believed that spirits existed everywhere - in trees, rivers, insects, wells, anything. My generation does not believe this, but I like the idea that we should all treasure everything because spirits might exist there, and we should treasure everything because there is a kind of life to everything. This movie is a story about a 10-year-old whose father and mother happened to eat something they shouldn't have, and so became pigs. The movie appears to be satire, but that isn't my purpose. And they grew to be ten and 12 and I said, ‘I can distance myself from them now, they’re going to blossom into women and I don’t have to play uncle anymore.’ And I was wondering how they would live from now on, and I thought of Spirited Away as a gift to those girls. Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man. 背景音乐：On Summer's Day

These should be purely factual observations, with no component of judgment or evaluation. People often disagree about evaluations because they value things differently, but facts provide a common ground for communication. State the feeling that the observation is triggering in you. Or, guess what the other person is feeling, and ask. State your need that is the cause of that feeling. Make a concrete request for action to meet the need. Ask clearly and specifically for what you want right now, rather than hinting or stating only what you don't want.

最近看《真正的朋友》，大S说自己生孩子前对体重有严格的控制…… [ 部分英文参考 ] What is self-control? It is the ability to regulate your emotions, thoughts, and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses. When we’re facing the decisions between something that is immediate and unpleasant, versus something that is good, really good, but in the long-term future, we often over-focus on the present and scarifies the future. And these injections were kind of the essence of self-control, because he had to get himself three injections a week for a year and a half. And if he did it, there was a chance that he might not have liver cirrhosis thirty years down the road. But if he took the medication, for sure he will be sick for the next 16 hours, something like headache, vomiting, shaking, stuff like that. When we know we’ll be tempted, we’ll do something to make ourselves not to be tempted. So it would be really nice if we could come up with our own self-control contract, with a red button, with our solutions of how to solve these problems. 背景音乐：What makes you beautiful
