As opposed to just taking down passive notes. Throughout the class, starting next week,
而不是被動做筆記 在這整個課程中 從下周開始
We'll take what I called, "time-ins" as opposed to "time-outs". It's like a time-out.
我們將進行我所說的 "練習時間" 而不是"休息時間" 其實類似"休息時間"
It's the time where we stop the class and you look inward. And this is literally a time of silence in a class. I will stop for a minute or two.
這段時間會我們停止課程 進行內省 也就是課堂上的安靜時刻 我會停一兩分鐘
And you'll have a chance either to just stare at me or anyone else, or think about what we've just discussed, or have a guiding question that I will provide you that you'll address during the class.
你們可以盯著我或者周圍人發呆 或者思考一下之前討論的內容 或者解答我提出的提示問題
The reason why I have "Time-ins"... This is something that I am introducing this year for the first time. We didn't have it last time.
之所以進行"練習時間" 這是今年新提出的 上學期并沒有
It's because over the last two years since I last taught it, i've done a lot work in the area of silence. I've read a lot of research in this area about the importance of quiet times whether it's in a class,
因為上次課程結束后到現在的兩年 我做了大量關于安靜的研究 關于安靜時刻的重要性 無論是課堂里
In a lecture, whether it is at home, whether it is for a leader in the business, for relationship, for children starting from pre-schools.
講座里 還是家中 無論是對公司領導 愛情關系 甚至學齡前兒童
Now many of you, as you are going through these "time-ins" if you decide to take this class may think, "Well, is this what I'm paying 40,000 dollars a year for?
你們中很多人 在經歷"練習時間"時可能會疑惑 "我一年付四萬美金就是為了這個?"
To sit a class and be quiet?" First of all, it will only be a minute or two at a time, maybe once or twice a lecture.
"坐在教室里發呆?" 首先 每次只有一兩分鐘 一堂課最多不超過兩次
But second, it is maybe the most important thing you'll take from this class. The notion of embracing stillness.
第二 這可能是 你從本課程中學到的最重要的東西 即享受安靜這一理念
Let me read to you an excerpt from a study that was run by two MIT professors. By the way, all the names that I read and that are not on the power points, you don't need to remember or write down.
我來讀一段麻省理工兩位教授的研究 我所提到名字不會出現在幻燈片上 不必背誦或記錄
This is just for your edification. So David Foster and Matthew Wilson. Both of them are from MIT.
只是為了啟發你們 David Foster和Matthew Wilson教授 都來自麻省理工大學
