Success and Step Ladders

我以为我会再次写一些更深奥的东西,这帮助我收集了从脑损伤中康复的动力和勇气。

Psychology research scientists have proven time and time again that the human brain is impatient. This widely evidenced phenomenon underlies the psychology of drug addiction, gambling, and why we often find ourselves devouring the entire cake when we promised to only have one slice. Without being too reductive of the complex neuroscience at play here, dopamine is the critical neurotransmitter which determines a large majority of our daily decisions. However, one interesting caveat is that the anticipation of a reward promotes a higher dopamine response than receiving the reward itself (except in the instance of stimulant narcotics, but that's a different story). Anyways, with that background, here's a little lesson on steps, goals, and dreams that positively influenced my life.

Defining a few important terms here to start:

  • Dream: something which will take 3+ months to accomplish
  • Goal: something which will take 1 week to 1 month to accomplish
  • 一步:tha花费更少n one week to accomplish

The broad, simplified idea is this: "dreams" are attained when we have the patience to piece together a composition of small goals, which can be broken down into their constituent parts (the steps). This is scientifically sound: a dream, for many, is overwhelming. "I want to get ripped like that guy David Goggins" will quickly turn into "are we getting pepperoni or sausage on the pizza tonight?".

"I'm going to be David Goggins by Friday" is not realistic, but maybe running a 5k by the end of the month is? That's your goal. What are the steps you need to take to achieve that goal? Well, buying a pair of decent running shoes is a good start; that's a step. Running 1.5 miles on the treadmill? There's another step. At the end of the month, you've trained a few times a week, incrementally adjusting your steps to reach the goal and, boom, you cross the line at the 5k. However, your dream has not changed - you still want to be the next David Goggins, so what's your next goal? Half marathon? Well, David Goggins probably doesn't eat a lot of pizza, so how about we change the diet a little too as a second goal. This iteration of codependent behavioral changes is what will help you reach your dream.

If one person reads this and does this exercise with success, this will have been a damn good day for me. So, think: what behavior of my life do I want to change? What's a goal that I can use to influence that change? What are the steps? Write that shit down and tape it to your door.

I studied biochemistry in college and found myself gravitating towards neuroscience, particularly studying the way in which our bodies and minds are influenced by the nervous system's intricate components (neurotransmitters, hormones, amino acids, etc.). Since graduating school, I have maintained a somewhat obsessive interest in endocrinology, evolutionary biology, psychology, and all the sciences that govern our best and worst behaviors. Here's a list of reading that I would recommend to anyone with even the slightest interest in the human condition:

This Is Water - David Foster Wallace: Okay, this isn't a book, it's a graduation speech from our century's greatest mind. The speech elegantly discusses how critical intellectual curiosity is for our sanity, but wow that very same curiosity can be a detriment if used unwisely.

Behave - Robert Sapolsky: Sapolsky is an evolutionary biology professor at Stanford and, in my opinion, one of the most clever minds in organic science. This book practically discusses the genetic, behavioral, evolutionary, and biological influences of the way humans.. behave. Warning: you might be tempted to get a 23andMe test to uncover your own genetic mutations (as we all have plenty of them :) ).

坚持下去,肖恩Young: The only "self help" book I would recommend anyone read (defining "self help" narrowly here as one that you would find at a cafe in LaGuardia airport advertising the end all be all solution for success). Written by an extremely clever scientist (be skeptical of the advice given by anyone that's not a "scientist").

更多的分子 - 丹·利伯曼(Dan Lieberman):很棒的书,重点是多巴胺及其对各种有趣的员工(赌博,成瘾,性别和幸福)的影响。

我会尝试考虑更多的东西,也许我会为对这个小细分类别感兴趣的任何人提供另一篇扎实的读物列表,但是这些都是很棒的读物。

这是很棒的男人,我是一个神经undergr专业ad and I have always found the applicability of the material to self-mastery one of the most fascinating parts. I'm curious if you can relate to this - when I learned more about evolutionary history and the biological basis behind motivated behavior, I found myself becoming more compassionate toward other people because I could better understand why they were driven to do something.

Also, any tips for keeping up with these extracurricular interests once you start an analyst program? I'm going to be startingFT在七月,我真的不想失去与这些主题的联系(尽管我会做生物技术银行业务,所以它会一直在我面前,而不是完全以我热衷的行为方式)。

Took a entrepreneurs workshop many yrs ago and this was a big area of discussion and has helped me frame my thinking and provide happiness and sanity.

Two ways to view (literally) goals / dreams. Program referred to this as "The Gap". One creates a sense of accomplishment while the other leaves you with constant inadequacies.

1. Measuring where you are to where you want to be is like reaching the horizon. A mental construct that is impossible as it moves with your progress. So you achieve things but lack the satisfaction of the achievement.

2. Measuring where you are from where you were is all about progress. The whole idea that there are no unrealistic goals, just unrealistic timeframes. So you look at where you are vs. where you were and celebrate the successes. Now think about what you needed to do to make that progress and apply it to the next step of growth. Rinse and repeat.

对于“行动者”来说,您最终将到达同一位置,但是选项二者更有趣,并且会为您提供更多的能量来推动前进,而艰巨的任务到达地平线。这可以适用于小型或大型项目,管理职业,健身,减肥以及实际上。将梦想崩溃到台阶。这些成为目标。将目标分解为动作项目。现在,这只是DOS的清单。庆祝(从字面上看)每个里程碑(购买东西,吃一顿美餐,善待自己等)回去三个月 / 6个月 / 12个月,看看已经取得了多少进展。您可能会发现梦想实际上改变或发展。

I'd like to ask a fairly specific question concerning the second point. What if you are unhappy today with yourself, compared to say, a year ago?

我发现自己一直在努力,并不断地努力做得更好。没有弥补过去的错误,而是试图前进。不幸的是,我的小组在去年夏天后裁员IB。我发现自己处于在一个非常具有挑战性的地区找到工作的幸运地,但是我同时对进入该确切空间有疑问,因为这不是我想我要做的。我也认为自己也是一个“行动者”。

That said, I find it difficult to look backward and see myself as happy today with I was very close to having. I'm generally happier with that which I had, but do not have now. Perhaps I found myself caught in the mindset of having things that I didn't have yet, acting as if I was already there. Or being right on the precipice of having the things I wanted, only to watch them disappear. I don't know. I was right there where I wanted, and now I'm not.

现在我要搬到巴尔的摩,而不是纽约。现在,我在不断发展的行业中工作,而不是成长。现在,我的下一个职业步骤是泥泞的,尚不清楚。

How can I feel good about the work I'm doing now. I'd appreciate any advice. Again, I feel like I really should be happy with what I have, but when I look at what I could have had, I can't help but think negative thoughts. Thanks

To me it sounds like you are still comparing your current self to your future self. I'm doing X but I really want to be doing Y. I understand your situation was changed for you. That's a tough blow but still something you have to overcome. So if your ultimate goal is to be X and you were somewhat career pathing to that and got a gut punch, you're still currently at Y. Look at what needs to be done to get to X. Compare back to your current Y and you'll see you're closer to being back ont rack and enjoying the progress (hopefully).

Some people live in "the gap". They're always there. They need to acquire skills in the arena of "being present". Sometimes that means you need to change your present. Enjoying what you're doing with whom your doing? If not Change your present so you do provided it also helps push you to your desired future.
