And I do feel that I fell a little bit toward "well, this is my job- I had to do it" such as going over my lecture notes five times before each lecture. The first time, pretty interesting; you know second and third it gets a little bit repetitive.
我也确实偶尔会感觉到“这是我的工作,我必须要做”的感觉。比如每次上课前备五遍课,第一遍非常有趣,第二遍第三遍就有点重复了。
But I know if I want to produce a good and effective lecture- because that is my calling, teaching, I have to go over it many times. And I can tell the difference when I go over it once or twice versus five times. So that's important to me. But that part of my work- it is a chore, something that I have to do. However, remember the trickle effect.
但我知道如果我要把课讲好,因为教学是我的使命。我必须要反复备课。我也能感受到备一两遍课和备五遍的区别。所以这对我来说很重要。但这时我的工作,就是种琐事,我不得不做的事。然而,记住涓滴效应。
Because overall, there's a sense of calling. Overall, it's a self-concordant goal as well as journey. Even those parts are OK, not that bad.
由于整体来说,这是种使命;整体来说,这是自我和谐的目标及过程。所以即使备五遍课也没问题,也没那么糟。
Or let's say you really enjoy a certain course. Let's take a hypothetical example, 1504. And another hypothetical example, you happen to have a midterm in a week. You know, you may not enjoy every step of the way. You know going over the material for the second time or third time.
或者比方说你很喜欢一门课;假设是1504;再做个假设,你一周后就要期中考了,你可能不会享受其中每一步;比如把书看两遍或者看三遍。
However, if overall that experience is self-concordant, important to you, and you enjoy it, even that part will not be that bad. It will be OK, especially if you start seeing that during that process, you'll begin to make new connections, understand things, important things about yourself.
但如果整体来说这件事是自我和谐的、对你来说很重要、你很喜欢,那么那样也就没那么糟糕、是可以接受的,尤其是当你发现在这个过程中你建立了新的联系、理解了你觉得很重要的知识。
