Share less with each other; There are more opportunities for profit, and less selfless dedication. In short, "self"

Love is shared more and less.

12

In this competitive era, we become insensitive and forget the essence of love.

After that. As a person in love, you don't just send red roses and a 50-point card to your lover. I

The children still have a lot to do. We give time, friendship, support and friendship as gifts to our lovers.

have you finished? Have we determined the most important thing in life, and then do everything sincerely? Shall we start first?

Grow up emotionally and pursue love to the extreme? Do we give ourselves and others enough time and space to work?

The development of a solid relationship? Do we spare no effort to pursue meaningful and eternal friendship? Have we achieved it?

Your own promise? Have we put our energy and feelings into a lifelong relationship instead of wasting it all the time?

The relationship between Chu?

13

There is only one life,

We must experience everything that can make us stronger.

true love

Only once in a lifetime. We let frivolous behavior make us physically and mentally exhausted, but when true love comes, we don't.

Have the ability to welcome it with open arms.

Pursue happiness for the purpose of public interest

1

in the past

50

In 2000, the economy of our western countries achieved unprecedented growth. Our house, our car.

Cars, holidays, work, education, and especially health have all been improved. According to standard economic theory, these improvements originally

Should make us happier, however, the survey shows that it is not. Britons and Americans accept happiness surveys.

Say, in the past

50

In the past year, their happiness has not improved. The number of patients with depression has increased, and at the same time,

The sharp rise in the crime rate also shows that people are not satisfied with their lives.

2

The above facts challenge our personal and social priorities. material

In fact, we are in a situation that human beings have never experienced before. When most people are still worried about food and clothing and material conditions

This improvement can really make them happier. Rich countries (such as per capita annual income of $20,000.

On) people.

Happier than people in poor countries;

People in poor countries

People,

If you are a little rich,

Will be much happier.

however

Once the material shortage is eliminated, the increase of income is not as important as interpersonal relationships such as family ties, friendship and neighborhood harmony.

However, it is dangerous for us to sacrifice too many such relationships in pursuit of higher income.

three

Longing for happiness is the core of human nature. Everyone yearns for such a club.

Yes: people do their best.

Happiness is equally important to everyone. This should be the philosophy of life of our time and should be used to guide the public.

* * * The principle of safeguarding interests and everyone's behavior should gradually replace extreme individual owners who can't make us happier.

Justice.

four

Money is indeed one of the key factors affecting personal happiness. However, money itself can make us

Finally get happiness? In any society, the rich are often happier than the poor. However, when a western country becomes more and more

When people become richer, the happiness of their people has not improved on the whole. Over time, our standards

Standards and expectations increase with income. Gallup poll asks Americans every year: "A family of four.

How much does this family need to live in this country at least? "People say the number of people rising and the average income.

The increase is the same. Because people always take their own income and other people's income and what they are used to having.

Comparatively speaking, they will feel happy only when they think that they have improved compared with the average.

five

This process can't achieve the expected purpose. My motivation for working hard and earning more money is:

This will make me happier. The same is true of other members of society, who are also concerned about their relative living standards.

Since society as a whole can't improve its status by taking itself as a reference, members of society should make themselves happier.

The efforts made can be said to be in vain.

——

When the balance between leisure and work is biased towards work, work is "no"

Efficiency "

.

six

In order to further prove this argument, I will talk about social status.

Ming. A person's state can

It may come from income or expenditure. People work, at least in part, to improve their land

A little. However, status is hierarchical: first, second, third and so on, so when a person's status is improved.

Other people's status will also drop to the same extent. This is a game of gain and loss balance: from the perspective of the whole society, in order to

It is a waste to improve one's status at the expense of one's own life. Therefore, endless competition is extremely destructive: we are

I lost my family life and inner peace when I pursued the unchangeable things.

seven

In a sense, what people want most is respect. They pursue economic status because it can

Win respect. However, we can value or despise economic status. In an increasingly competitive society, such as

If the standard of respect is not relaxed, people with low ability in society will find life more difficult. We should respect this.

People who cooperate with others without benefiting themselves, people who exert their talents at all levels and work hard.

Therefore, it is particularly important for everyone to learn a skill. In Britain, this means that young people have to do so as long as they want to.

Make sure that each of them learns this craft, so that those who fail in school can be proud of their careers, no

You will feel like a failure when you grow up.

eight

The comparison between people is inevitable, because the existence of hierarchy is necessary and inevitable.

Yes Some people get promoted while others don't. In addition, the salary of those who are promoted should also be increased, because

Because of talent, employers are also willing to recruit talents. Therefore, at the critical moment when people choose jobs and employers,

As an important factor, salary affects their decision-making. The problem is that most occupations have no objective standards.

In order to measure personal performance,

So in fact, you can only get an evaluation by comparing a person with a colleague.

Estimate.

In that way

However, this classification method is very subjective, which fundamentally changes the combination between employees and employers, employees and colleagues.

Build relationships.

nine

If we long for a happier society, we should emphasize what people cherish.

Experience-first of all, family relationship, work relationship and neighborhood relationship. People cherish these experiences not because others have them.

They exist only because these experiences have intrinsic value. It seems that all the comforts and comforts we enjoy at present.

It may make our life happier, but the deterioration of interpersonal relationship may reduce our sense of happiness.

Degree.

10

We live in an unprecedented era of individualism. Many people think responsibility is the most important thing.

Is to give play to their talents and tap their potential. This is a terrible and lonely goal. Of course, they

I also feel the responsibility I should bear to others.

But in western countries,

These responsibilities lack a clear concept.

No matter the ancient and pious world outlook, or the spirit of unity and national cohesion in post-war society, there is nothing left.

Save. We have completely lost the concept of public interest or collective significance.

1 1

If you want to be happier, you must change your internal attitude while changing the external environment.

I'm talking about an eternal philosophy of life, which enables us to find positive strength in ourselves and others at the same time.

The positive factors contained in the world. This sympathy for others and oneself can be learned, and schools should put this sympathy into practice.

Compassion educates students.

Every city should have such a government.

Policy:

Promote a healthier philosophy of life among young people,

Help them distinguish between superficial happiness and real happiness.

12

Therefore, I hope that in this new century, we can finally regard the greatest happiness of mankind as me.

Children's concept of public welfare. There are two possible outcomes. This outlook on life can obviously guide the formulation of policies, but more importantly.

More importantly, in our daily life, it will inspire us to feel happier, because others are happy and help others at the same time.

Get greater happiness. Only in this way can we not be self-centered and be happier.

How to grow old

1

Although the title of the article is "How to grow old", what we really want to say is how not to grow old. I do.

At this age, it is more important to discuss "how not to be old". The first advice is to choose your ancestors carefully.

Although my parents are very early.

Dead, but considering my other ancestors, my choice is still good. My grandfather is sixty years old.

It is true that he died young at the age of seven, but my grandmother and my grandparents all lived to be eighty.

How old. Among those ancestors who have less relationship with me, I only found one who didn't live long. He died of a crime.

The former rare disease: decapitation. One of my great grandmothers was a friend of Gibbon's. She lived to 92 years old, and her mental state was one of them.

So that children and grandchildren will be afraid from beginning to end until the day she dies. My grandmother gave birth to ten children,

One of them died and the other nine grew up healthily. In addition, she had many miscarriages. As soon as she was widowed, she threw herself into it.

Higher education for women. As one of the founders of Gordon College, she opened the door to women in order to promote medical care.

And spare no effort. She once told the story that she met an old gentleman with a sad face in Italy, and then

Asked why he was so sad, the old man said that he had just said goodbye to his two grandchildren. "My God!" She shouted, "I have.

Seventy-two grandchildren, if I leave one of them and feel sad once, wouldn't my life be too miserable?

Yes! ""unusual mother! " The old man replied.

However, as a member of seventy-two descendants, I am more

I like this secret in her life. Grandma finds it difficult to fall asleep after 80 years old, so she often goes from midnight to early morning.

Read popular science books at three o'clock I don't think she has time to care about whether she is old or not. I think it's to stay young.

The secret. If you have a wide range of hobbies and activities that you love, you can experience your old age.

From the statistics, there is no reason to consider how many spring and autumn periods have passed in life, let alone.

There is reason to worry that your future may be short.

& lt/Para & gt;

2

Speaking of health,

I seldom get sick,

So I can't provide useful advice.

I eat and drink as I please,

Sleep if you can't wake up. I don't do anything because it's good for my health. However, what I like to do is

In fact, most things are good for health.

three

Psychologically speaking, the elderly should guard against two dangers. One is to dwell too much on the past. mankind

Can't live in memories, can't live in the lost good old days, can't live in the memory of the dead.

In the grief of a friend. People's minds must focus on the future and think about things that can make a difference. This is not light and

Easy thing: the past that one experiences gradually becomes a heavy burden. It's easy to think that past emotions

Stronger than now, and sharper than in the past. If so, let's forget about it.

True; if

Forget this fact, it may no longer be true.

four

Another danger to watch out for is attachment to young people, hoping to draw vitality from them.

Force. When your children grow up, they want to live their own lives; If you care as much as they did when they were young,

They, you are likely to be their burden. Animals will stop paying attention when the next generation can feed themselves; mankind

Because of the long childhood, it is difficult to do this.

five

Children have grown up, it is meaningless to tell them not to make mistakes, because they no longer believe.

What you said, besides, mistakes are an indispensable part of education.

Points. However, if your interest can't get rid of your personal feelings.

Master, you may find that life will be empty and hopeless if you don't pay attention to your children and grandchildren. In this case, you must understand

Realizing this,

Although you can still provide them with material help.

Help,

For example, give them pocket money, or knit them wool.

Line coat, but you can never expect them to be happy with you.

six

Some old people are troubled by the fear of death. It is understandable that young people feel this way. young

People are understandably afraid of dying on the battlefield. They realized that

Because death will deprive life of the best things,

This caused them great pain. However, the old man who experienced the ups and downs of the world tapped his potential and realized his own.

Ambition,

If you are afraid of death again,

It's a little embarrassing.

The best way to overcome fear is

——

At least I think so.

——

Cultivate a wider range of interests, not limited to personal feelings, and let the wall around yourself gradually.

Slowly disappear, and your life will gradually blend into human life. A person's existence should be like a river-a trickle at first.

A trickle, wrapped in a narrow shore.

Suddenly, in the crack of the rock, the roaring waterfall rushed down. The riverbed changes gradually.

Wide,

The river bank gradually receded, the water flow was gentle, the river did not stagnate obviously, and finally it merged into the embrace of the ocean and knotted painlessly.

Bound the existence of independent individuals. If the elderly can look at life in this way, they will not be afraid of death.

Dying and uneasy, because everything he loves will continue to exist. And when the vitality is exhausted, the fatigue feels oily.

The idea of living and sleeping is not disgusting. I hope to die while I can still work, knowing that others will leave me unfinished.

My career is still going on, and I am also thinking about what I can do in my life. I have tried my best, so I can be satisfied.

It's over.

online education

1

On a recent business trip, someone asked me about my occupation, and I said that I was engaged in writing and writing.

Teach college courses.

2

"oh? Then where do you teach? " He asked.

three

Without thinking, I answered honestly, "In an empty space".

four

I am telling the truth.

1990

Since then, I have been called "big keyboard" by my friends.

Learn to teach distance.

Degree education courses and provide consultation. My class is in a charged space, and one end of the space is connected with my telephone plug.

Block, the other end is connected to the home computers of a group of older college students.

5 1990

In, I established the first online tutoring center for distance learners in the United States.

Heart. So far,

I have been tutoring online.

7000

Many students, only a few failed, and I have never seen them myself.

six

As I can't explain my working environment more clearly, I can only tell this questioner: I am in vain.

Quasi-space teaching is "a virtual university teacher." I tried to explain to him "distance education" ... online.

Degree courses ... Virtual University "and so on.

Wait a minute.

seven

The man's face is still blank. I don't know if his silence is out of awe.

Come on, or just in a fog. I think there are two reasons. So, I began to explain that these days often.

Explanation: In my opinion, American university education is declining, while American new educational ideas are developing vigorously.

get up

eight

Distance learning (that is, educational courses where teachers and students don't have to meet) is not a new thing. British bath

Sir Essex Peterman of the University once had a whim to ask rural residents to convert the Bible into shorthand text and mail it out.

Give him a review and teach them secretarial skills in this way.

1840

He began to implement it in 2000 and made a lot of money from it.

Money.

nine

I don't teach shorthand. I teach psychology and career development. But, like Sir Isaac, it is very

Many courses are written by myself. My position is in Wan Wei.

Net, I posted my homework on the bulletin board.

Examination papers are sent by e-mail through international telephone lines, and are exempt from customs duties; When necessary, call the whole class together.

Get up and give lectures online in the online chat room.

10

Can this practice abandon the real university education? Don't students have to sit neatly?

Can you learn knowledge by listening to the teacher, the sage in the pulpit?

1 1

Absolutely, without a doubt. In fact, many people find it difficult to think of a university without a campus.

Yes, but now I think it's ridiculous not to teach in cyberspace, a place full of freedom.

12

In cyberspace, I listen, read, evaluate and think about the views expressed by students-1.

One at a time, take turns to speak. They must convey their opinions to me in writing. They can't sit in the back seat and do nothing.

Kill time. They must think, and above all, they must write. Thinking and writing, that's not

Is it the characteristics of talents trained by traditional education?

13

I don't know whether my study is through their faces or their seats in the spacious classroom.

Students understand them through the words and ideas in their weekly homework. Everyone can read these words and opinions online.

Here you are.

& lt/Para & gt;

14

I'm not a saint in the pulpit-I'm more like a guide around them. Usually, students

What I occasionally "say" or write, and the way I integrate my work and professional experience into my papers and debates are better than what I can mention.

Anything provided is more practical and enlightening.

15

My students are generally forty years old, and many of them are in their fifties and sixties. They're online.

study Because they can't or won't quit their jobs, leave their children or grandchildren and move into the university campus-so big.

Learning is nothing more than an educational entity established according to the medieval monastery model.

16

Most of them know what they are talking about. Not only that, they know why they came back.

Go back to college to study. Online education is suitable for them, because online education respects students' definition and pursuit of knowledge.

Encourage them to express their views and opinions without the intervention of teachers, because teachers may be tempted to interfere with them.

Debate, the original enlightening class discussion "calms down" or "leads to other topics".

17

What students experience is completely different from the American education that operates according to the traditional factory model.

In traditional education, everyone on the production line receives the information of the same standard unit (lectures and textbooks), and then must

Must pass the same quality inspection (objective inspection). The students sat in neat rows of seats and raised their hands to ask for permission.

Talking, constantly reading clock textbooks, listening to lectures, textbooks and lectures are broken down into unrelated knowledge gadgets.

There is no evidence that,

This factory model is an effective way of learning.

This can only prove that this is a very convenient way:

The university has recorded a standard amount of knowledge on the report card, which has been taught as scheduled.

18

Perhaps it is particularly meaningful for me to teach college liberal arts courses in a virtual environment because it can

It goes back to the real college liberal arts education I learned at that time.

When studying philosophy in Athens, Greece,

The teacher taught me,

If you want to learn something, you have to throw away your textbooks and notebooks. They are just memory tools, relying on what we are born with.

The ability to think critically.

19

My online students do have teaching materials, but they are all learning AIDS.

The materials, they didn't draw them.

The only source of knowledge. They will also learn from the cooperation of online debates, meetings and paper writing. student

Think carefully for the speech; When they come to class every week, they are fully prepared for the debate and gain real knowledge through the communication on the keyboard.

20

Strange to say,

Virtual university may be a place where classical philosophers like Plato like to teach-

If he had internet at that time. You ask my own opinion? I also think there should be less education on campus.

In the room, but more should be done in the participants' minds.
