Quote by Stephen R. Covey

“我們的觀念其實是與自我認知盤根糾結的。如果我說自己是環保主義者或保守派或老師，我說的不僅是自己的信念或價值觀—我所描繪的是我是個什麼樣的人。因此，當你攻擊我這一方時，你攻擊的是我和我的自我形象。如果推到極端，自我認知的衝突甚至可以引發戰爭。”

“It’s perhaps easier to understand this when we remember that the relationship between us and God is not simply one of power, not a question of who is in control, but a relationship of love. And love has a powerful—we might say irresistible—effect. When you feel that someone really loves you, you’re strongly drawn toward that person; you feel like a flower opening to the sun. It feels like we choose with our whole hearts to move toward that love. But what if God made us that way? Maybe we are programmed to respond like that to love, and couldn’t resist it if we tried. But if you try to imagine rejecting such love and turning away from it, it feels like you’re fighting against your free will, your deepest longing.”

“Freedom is a blessing and a curse. People of all nations treasure the notion of personal liberty, but freedom creates the coincident anxiety of choosing how a person should live. If I desire to find personal happiness, I need to understand what happiness is and learn how to rid myself of unhappiness. Is happiness an endurable material or is it comprised of no more than a string of good fortune? Is the good luck that brings happiness a fortunate happenstance that may evaporate at any moment? Do we measure happiness in the present? Alternatively, is happiness determinable only when looking at the sum and substance of a person’s total life? Is the game of life ultimately a losing proposition for all persons, and if so, is happiness even achievable or is it a form of an illusion? Is happiness simply a temporary mental reprieve from an inevitable period of suffering that serves as a prelude to our final dance with death? Is happiness a matter of quality of life or quantity, i.e. longevity? Can we measure happiness objectively? Alternatively, should we subjectively compute our scale of happiness?”
