And the reason why I mentioned all these places is because this is cross-cultural study. People mostly ask themselves.
我之所以要提到那些地方 是因为这是跨文化的研究 大多数人都会问自己
"what are my weaknesses? What do I need to improve?" Very often to the exclusion of "what are my strengths? What are my virtues? What am I good at?"
我的弱点是什么?我要改善什么? 通常排除了 我的长处是什么?我擅长于什么?
And if the only question that we ask ourselves are the only questions that are "what are my weaknesses? Deficiencies?"
如果我们问自己的 唯一问题是 我的缺点 我的不足是什么?
Then the only thing we'll see in ourselves are weaknesses and deficiencies. And as far as we are concerned.
那么我们能看到的 只有自己的缺点和不足 在我们看来
The good things our strengths, our passions, our virtues the wonderful things within us do not exist. Just like as far as you are concerned.
好的东西 我们的长处 热情 美德 我们身上的美好事物并不存在 就像在你们看来
The children on the bus did not exist. Now I ask you, could a person who only or primarily focuses on weaknesses.
巴士上的小孩并不存在 现在我问你们 一个主要关注缺点的人
And does not see, does not appreciate their strength, their passions, their virtues.
看不到 也不欣赏他们的长处 热情 他们的美德的人
Can a person like that experience high levels of self-respect, self-confidence, happiness? And we wonder, why do so many relationships fail?
一个这样的人会有很高的自尊心 自信心和很多的快乐吗? 我们还奇怪 为什么这么多婚姻会失败?
And we wonder, why depression, anxiety and low self-esteem are increasing so much? The intentions are there.
我们还奇怪 为什么抑郁 焦虑 以及自尊心低落的情况增加了这么多? 动机是有的
