Q1：

1-1：請你回想：說到[亞斯]，你心中有什麼刻板印象?

1-2：你有曾遇過[亞斯]特質的人?

1-3：如果有，那是怎麼樣的事情?你又有什麼感受?

<SOL>

1.你平時是否有寫作的習慣?如果有，是怎麼維持?如果沒有，你覺得是什麼原因讓你難以動筆寫作?

<SOL>

平常我會寫臉書的生活心得日記，原則上是有大事才寫，平淡日子就沒有特別撰寫，因為我的生活比較單純，不太會刻意打破舒適圈，從去年開始，參加現在的all in 計畫，開始刺激自己把長年累積的輸入轉成輸出，覺得自己好像提升了不少檔次。大家彼此給予價值，督策自己不能隨便交差，貫徹[君子慎獨]的意境。

2.剛剛的內容，你接下來想分享什麼方向、主題的文章?

<SOL>

<最好的教練,不給答案 >隋堂問題

Q1-1：曾經遇過好的指導者?好在哪?

<sol>

在我心目中，好的指導者應該具備以下條件:

1.必須能信任學生。

Q1:你平常工作時是什麼形象?你會因為別人的錯覺資產而被誤導嗎?你覺得你可以怎麼利用錯覺幫助提升形象?

<SOL>

​​平常是比較當配合型的職場腳色，上面指示你要做什麼就做什麼，不太會提出其異議，若過程有問題會再請教主管如何辦理，所以在平常上班的穿著都是乾淨整潔即可，敝人是常常穿襯衫立領。別人的形象很多都是包裝好的，但可以透過其他不同面向來交叉比對。可以利用一些話術、專業術語或工作技巧來提升自己的效率，外貌調整其實是最簡單的，比如說穿公司制服或西裝。

Q2:你有對什麼事情認知失調過嗎?有的話，是什麼事情?你又是怎麼處理的?沒有的話，你覺得什麼環境容易讓你產生認知失調?

<SOL>

思考101 :QA

Q1:你是否曾經因為七大罪的項目而陷入了負面連鎖影響?你認為要將其消滅掉嗎?為什麼?
<sol>先解釋何謂七大罪:傲慢、嫉妒、憤怒、怠惰、貪婪、暴食、色慾。雖然沒有經歷過負面連鎖，但人生經歷中常常會遇到這七種挑戰，逃都逃不掉，其實他們在否方面，也是一種成長的動力，所以我覺得不需要將其消滅掉(與喬治想法雷同)。

Q2:
如果回到晚上八點，主講人卻沒有開始直播，你認為原因是?
<sol>交通問題、身體不適、家庭原因，但ALL IN計畫的講者不太會因為這些理由遲到，所以只有天災人禍重大事件才會延遲。

Q3:
如果可以馬上拿100或者是一個月後拿130，你會怎麼選?
<sol>要看當下是不是急需這筆錢，如果還行就之後拿，畢竟1個月投資報酬率30%不是開玩笑的(與蛤蜊想法雷同)，但如果沒錢吃飯、臨時要買絕版品，或者是醫藥費等等重大事件的臨門一腳，就會選擇當下立刻領取。

Q1：什麼才是目前你覺得真正重要的事情？

ANS：

    重要的是真的很多，如果真的只能選一個，那就是[維持身、心、靈健康]。以下分別以這三種健康來論述

[身體]

One shop is returning children's first loves.
有一家商店正在修復孩子們最初的所愛。

On a busy suburban street in Sydney, Australia, there is a shop that people don't see very often nowadays. The shop, Doll Hospital, will happily repair dolls, teddy bears, and any other toy brought in to be given a new lease on life. The shop was opened in 1913 by Harold Chapman, Sr., and it has passed down through the family to Geoff Chapman, Harold's grandson. So far, Doll Hospital has repaired more than three million toys.
　　In the beginning, Harold Chapman, Sr. had no plans to open a toy repair shop. He ran a small gift shop. Then a shipment of dolls for his shop was damaged on its way from Japan. He fixed them himself and discovered there was much demand for toy repair services, so he expanded his business. In the 1930s, his son Harold Chapman Jr. took over the shop and relocated it to its current location. When World War II broke out, their repair business skyrocketed. Due to wartime restrictions, it became very difficult to get new toys into Australia. People turned to repair shops like Doll Hospital to fix cherished toys that had been broken. At its height, the shop had six workshops and 70 people working there.
　　Today, Doll Hospital has fallen on hard times. Modern consumers are more likely to buy a new doll when the old one wears out. Most of Doll Hospital's customers these days are adults, often elderly people, who are restoring a beloved childhood toy. The toys are often family heirlooms to pass down to a younger generation. This makes Geoff Chapman one of the few shop owners who can be proud of making his customers cry, which they often do when reunited with their childhood toy before passing it on.

1. Which of the following is NOT true about Doll Hospital?
(A) It's a family-run business.
(B) It only repairs dolls.
(C) The shop is over 100 years old.
(D) The shop has done over three million repairs.
2. What made Harold Chapman, Sr. open Doll Hospital?
(A) His neighbors kept asking him to fix their toys.
(B) His daughter broke her favorite doll, so he fixed it.
(C) The toy repair services were much in demand.
(D) A Japanese company offered to become a business partner.
3. Why was business so good during World War II?
(A) It wasn't easy to get new toys during the war.
(B) Soldiers sent dolls from abroad.
(C) Australia became wealthier during the war.
(D) The shop moved to a new location.
4. Why isn't Doll Hospital doing well anymore?
(A) Nobody buys toys anymore.
(B) There are fewer people living in Sydney.
(C) Geoff Chapman has retired.
(D) People buy new toys instead of fixing old ones.

Sport stacking has been around since the 1980s, but it has been gaining in popularity recently.
競技疊杯從 1980 年代就已出現，但近來卻大受歡迎

 

Have you heard of sport stacking? Since one of the meanings of stack is to arrange something unfairly, this is not an illegal gambling activity even though it may sound like it. Instead, sport stacking is one of the hottest new game trends sweeping the planet. _(1)_ The goal is to stack plastic cups in a certain sequence as fast as possible. _(2)_
　　Sport stacking has been around Southern California since the early 1980s. After catching on there, it was eventually featured on national television. That's how it caught the imagination of a high school physical education teacher named Bob Fox. _(3)_ The idea was so well received that Fox quickly turned the activity into a real sport, complete with rules, standardized equipment, and its own international governing body. There are organized teams on almost every continent, and the sport is growing rapidly.
　　Like every sport, stacking offers its players real benefits. _(4)_ A study at the University of Wisconsin showed a 30 percent increase in all of these measurements in stackers. Stacking is useful training for other activities that require the good use of both hands. _(5)_ Kids don't need convincing about the benefits of sport stacking. They love it, and it's also fun for the whole family.

(A) Hand-eye coordination, quickness, and ambidexterity, which is defined as performing equally well with both sides of the body, have all been documented as advantages of participating in the sport.
(B) He started a small, home-based business to promote sport stacking as a resource for physical education teachers.
(C) Also called cup stacking and speed stacking, sport stacking is a real sport played by teams and individuals.
(D) One such example is playing a musical instrument.
(E) Thousands of stackers can be seen on YouTube showing off their skills and fastest times.

The newest frontier in automotive technology has more to do _(2)_ the driver than the vehicle, though. Carmakers are _(3)_ heavily in the development of biometrics and the capacity to monitor a variety of human parameters, such as respiratory rate, heartbeat, sweat, drowsiness, and even drunkenness.
　　It is at the facilities of sports car manufacturer, Ferrari, _(4)_ researchers are undertaking one ambitious biometrics project. The company's research team is working on a system that employs electrodes in seat headrests to keep _(5)_ of brain waves. In this way, motorists' stress levels can be monitored, and then the software can send out orders to reduce the _(6)_ for accidents. For instance, the car's computer might send a signal to reduce engine power to give the driver more time to _(7)_ in an emergency. Over at Ford, research and development departments are working on putting sensors in seatbelts and steering wheels to check drivers' breathing and heart rates.
　　Currently, some biometric devices that use cameras or other sensors to identify _(8)_ motorists are already being used in some vehicles, such as certain models of Lexus and Mercedes-Benz. When these cars detect drowsy drivers, a beep is set off or an icon of a coffee cup is triggered as a type of alert. More _(9)_ systems that can determine if people are too drunk to drive have been developed, but haven't been put in use yet. With the help of biometrics, the fact that driving will become much safer will hold _(10)_ in the future.
