Quote of the Week

"Nobody can make you angry without your permission."

是他惹毛我的!

上个学年,我布置了一项课堂演讲任务,学生小组在这项任务中先面对全班做一段10分钟的演讲,随后是一个开放式的问答环节。

在一次演讲中,演讲者很好地完成了她10分钟的演讲,准备接受提问。 几个简单的问题(轻而易举地应答了)过后,一名同学举起手,并以一种咄咄逼人的方式问出了一连串难题。

我很明显地感到这些问题纯粹是为了提问(和显摆)而提问,并非意在帮助演讲小组发现他们的不足。发问者并没有意向听问题的回答。他只是想扔出一堆问题来为难演讲者。

至少对演讲者而言,现场就是这样的情况。
 
在愤怒地回应这位挑衅同学之时,她的情绪也开始沸腾起来。 之后,她的眼眶便涌出了泪水,此时此刻,我决定涉足制止这一尴尬局面。(我没记错的话,这还是第一次有同学在我班上哭!)

课后我同她谈话,告诉她演讲得确实不错,但她在处理问题方式上一点也不专业, 所以被评了个不及格,并且允许她重做一次。

她这样回应道:“但是,是他的不是,他这般提问,是惹毛我的!”

这难道不是我们大多数人应对人生的方式吗?

我们多半会对情况作出反应而不是选择去回应它们。我们认为正是其他人或情形使得我们生气,抑郁,沮丧和失落。不只这样,只有当他人向我们传来好消息,或是说了一则笑话惹我们笑,或是当凡事都顺着我们时,我们才会开心。

但这是事实吗?

不然。开心与否是我们允许的。

事实上,我们可以选择。我们每一刻的心情和情绪是我们的选择。

遗憾的是,绝大多数人已经把这选择的权利放弃了。终日受周围的人与事摆布,让自己的生活原地踏步。

我们可以选择快乐,可以选择把心思集中在自己所要得事物上,而不是花费时间和精力重复想着自己不要或不喜欢的事物。我们可以选择以更专业的态度回应,可以选择不怪罪他人或生活上的各种情况,可以选择积极采取正面行动,让事情变得更好。

我们各自的生活, 是自己责任。

记住:没你的准让,谁都烦不了你。你今天会怎么选择?
