And this is the kind of social environment that we are born into,
這就是我們出生所在的社會環境
that we are raised in, and the social environment that is very difficult to change.
我們成長所在的社會環境 而這樣的社會環境很難以改變
I mean I know-I have little kids at home. It is so difficult to change it
我也知道 我家里也有孩子 這太難以改變了
because very often I'm inclined to say to focus from early on the day
因為我自己也時常對孩子說并且專注于
"Oh Shirell just learned how to walk! Well done! You know you just walk"
“史瑞尤學會走路了 做得好 你學會走路了”
as opposed to rewarding the effort as we'll talk about in a minute and rewarding the hard work
而不是獎勵其中所付出的努力 我們等會會講到 獎勵付出的努力
and rewarding even the failure, the trying, the coping, the process. Very difficult.
甚至獎勵失敗 應對與整個過程 非常難
And that's connected, of course, to the permission to be human.
這當然也和準許為人有聯系
The permission for the constraint of view of the human nature,
準許看到人類本性的限制
as opposed to the idealized, disconnected, detached of view of what life can look like.
而不是理想化、孤立地、分離地看待生活
Because it can't. Instead of permission to be human, there's pressure to be perfect.
因為這不可能 如果不是準許為人 而是要求完美的話
It's constant. It's on-going. It's in the media. It's in the workplace. It's in our educational institutions.
壓力是持久存在的 存在于媒體中 存在于工作中 存在于教育機構中
It's everywhere. And we pay a price for it. Now let me give you some examples.
這無處不在 我們也為之付出了代價 現在 我來給你們看幾個例子
Before I give this example, just a quick introduction. As you know, academics don't make that much money.
在那前先給你們介紹一下 你們都知道 學術研究賺不了多少錢
When people go into academia, it's usually not for the money.
進入學術圈的人 大多都不是為了錢
So many academics, myself being known no exception have to supplement their income.
有很多學者 我也不例外 必須額外賺取收入
So I supplement my income-and I want to share with you something that I do on the side.
我也有額外的收入 而我希望和你們分享一下我額外做的事
