"Years ago, a friend of mine observed that 80 percent of the people in this country have too much self-esteem and 20 percent have much too little. That struck me as pretty accurate, but psychologists will tell you that self-esteem is not a constant. People’ s appraisal of their own worth varies... .I have the impression that more people have unstable self-esteem than before. I say this because some of the traditional standards people used to measure their own worth have eroded (middle class respectability), whereas more people now seem to measure themselves against celebrities and superstars. It would be interesting to know if anybody has studied changes in the criteria we use to measure self-worth."
Comment 1:
You bring up an interesting point because I do believe values and beliefs have changed. It would be very interesting to see the criteria used for self-worth. I find it hard to believe that only 20% of people have low self-esteem. I’ ve been following Brene Brown’ s thoughts on the subject of self-worth, and low self-worth(on some level)seems much more common.
Comment2:
If the quality of one’ s self-esteem is going to be judged by comparisons with those who are celebrities and superstars, then the entire exercise is really pointless.
Comment 3:
Self-esteem solution: A happy marriage.
Comment 4:
Ego(self-worth)is proportionate to wealth. The more wealth, the more self-worth.
Comment 5:
Benjamin Franklin said it best, and it applies to all facets of life. "Contentment will make a poor man rich just as discontent will make a rich man poor." It does not mean not try to do your best, or be the richest. It simply means once you’ ve done your best be content with yourself, just as if you don’ t give your best effort discontent is sure to follow.
Comment 6:
I’ve " retired" from 30 years of expensive, if interesting, " personal growth" and "self-improvement." much probably motivated by trying to "fix" myself. Hanging out with friends at a local cafe is way more satisfying.
Comment 7:
A related concept you may be interested in is the " sociometer theory" of self-esteem, pioneered by Mark Leary (Wake Forest). Basically it states that our self-esteem is determined by the amount of perceived social acceptance / rejection, and that determination is full of cognitive biases and errors. Awesome stuff.
Why does the writer of Comment 5 try to clarify Benjamin Franklin s saying?
选项
A、Because Franklin’s saying is universally applicable.
B、Because contentment means "rich" and discontent means "poor."
C、Because if you do your best, you will be the richest.
D、Because misunderstandings might occur of Franklin’s saying.
答案
D
解析
评论5主要对本杰明·富兰克林的话“满足可使穷人变富,不满足可使富人变穷。”进行了解释:这并不意味着不去努力做得最好、变得最富有;它仅仅意味着,一旦你已经尽力了,就要满足,就像如果你不尽力当然不会满足一样。评论员对富兰克林的话解释的很详细,目的是避免别人误解,所以选D。
