With so many investments required of us to succeed - time, resources, talents, responsibilities, even finances for our retirement - it's easy to lo sight of the most difficult investment of all to commit to: ourlves.
Getting to the point where you're ready to start upgrading to you 2.0 isn't easy. But it doesn't mean dropping the ball everywhere el. It's not about omissions, but admissions. Come clean with yourlf to kick - start your personal growth.
Unstuck starts with "u"
No one purpoly choos to stop learning and growing again, it just kind of happens in a lot of daily responsibilities and life. And if it were easy to just kick it into gear(挡位) again, you would have already done it. But the truth is inescapable. If you want to get off that place to higher ground, it's up to you and only you. No one will just hand you a steady stream of opportunities for growth.
You've been working in your life, not on it
Activity is often confud with acceleration (忙碌). I was guilty of this for years in working place - staying always busy but not admitting I was bored. I was lost in activity and not stepping back to take time to question what I wanted my life to be. Once I began working on my life -quitting corporate, becoming an entrepreneur, restructuring to my life - I started growing once again. And I've never been happier.
Things aren't happening to you, they're happening for you
A victim mentality (心态) is the enemy of personal growth. Lamenting over everything that has gone wrong in your life only wastes energy from working to make more things go right. If you want to kick-start growth, you must view tbacks as having a purpo, and then put them in their place. The past shouldn't run or define you - only fuel you.
The perfect time to start doesn't exist
I had so many things that had to be just right before I could make my long-planned leap from corporate. I'd tell mylf, "I'd love to go for it right now, but practically speaking." Well, guess what? Practicality is poison. It's the convenient excu stopping you from what you're meant to become.
It's time to unplug others' opinions
Grow where you want to grow. Learn what you want to learn. Wherever you are confronted with what you want to learn next - be it beginner or near-expert own it, be proud of it. Pretens are for pretenders. You're just trying to become a better version of your genuine lf.

The poet Lovelle Drachman once said, “blesd are the curious, for they shall have adventures.”, which is certainly true of people with wanderlust.
‘Wanderlust’ is derived from a German word meaning ‘a love of hiking’ and now ud to describe the burning desire to escape the everyday and explore the unfamiliar. Wanderlust is a common, but not universal experience. What makes some people catch that travel bug while others
are apparently unaffected?
One theory is to do with our genes. Scientific rearch has identified a variant of the DRD4 gene that affects nsitivity to dopamine（多巴胺）, the neuro-transmitter often relead in the brain when we do something we enjoy. Actually, it’s not that the 7R version of the DRD4 specifically creates a thirst for travel, but people with the 7R variant are less nsitive to that delicious dopamine hit.
拼搏的近义词But another theory looks at the psychology of living in our inter-connected human society, one in which we are constantly aware of what friends and social media influencers are doing and keep comparing ourlves to them in two distinct ways. Upwards social comparisons, comparing ourlves to tho we e as more successful than us. And downward social comparisons, comparing ourlves to tho we e as wor off than us. In the age of social media, it’s very easy to compare ourlves unfavourably with the idealized version. How can we compete with influencers, with their perfectly dark brown legs on neat and clean while sand, and their once in a lifetime sunts over Machu Picchu?
Whether the motivation to explore the world is genetic, psychological or something el, there are far more harmful hobbies than the desire to explore the world. Venturing outside your comfort zone, to learn about new cultures, meet people you might otherwi never have had the chance to meet, and finally, learn who you are in different situations. Sounds like a life well-lived. As the novelist Jack Ker
ouac said, “Becau in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that mountain.”
1. What does “Wanderlust” mean?
It means the burning desire to escape the everyday and explore the unfamiliar.
2. Why are people with the 7R type of the DRD4 gene more likely to have wanderlust?
Becau the 7R variant cau them to be less nsitive do dopamine hit.
3.Plea decide which part is fal in the following statement, then underline it and
explain why.
People’s motivation to explore the world is genetic, psychological or something el, and the desire to explore the world is more harmful than most hobbies becau people tend to forget their daily routine, but adventures really leave footprints in their hearts.
People’s motivation to explore the world is genetic, psychological or something el, and the desire t
o explore the world is more harmful than most hobbies becau people tend to forget their daily routine, but adventures really leave footprints in their hearts.
According to the passage, exploring the world brings us benefits, so the desire to explore the world is better than most harmful hobbies.

A few years ago, I started to notice big shifts in teens’ behavior. Around 2014, teens started to spend their time much differently from the generations before. The teens and young adults all have one thing in common: Their childhood or adolescence coincided with the ri of the smart phone. For this reason, I call them iGeneration.
18岁的成人礼
What makes iGen different? Growing up with a smartphone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time on the Internet, texting friends and on social media that they have less leisure time for everything el. Whether it’s going to parties, shopping at the mall, or watching movies, iGen teens are participating in the social activities at a significantly low rate.
Some parents might worry about their teens spending so much time on their phones becau it differs from the way they spent their own adolescence. But it is not just different—in many ways, it’s actually wor. Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social skills. A 2016 study found that sixth graders who spent just five days at a camp without using screens ended the time better at reading emotions on others’ faces, suggesting that iGen’s screen-filled lives might cau their social skills to shrink.
In addition, in the annual Monitoring the Futuresurvey, the percentage of iGen teens who read a non required book every day dropped from 60 percent in 1980 to only 16 percent in 2016. Perhaps as a result, average SAT critical reading scores have dropped 14 points since 2010.
iGen shows another break with the previous generations: Depression, anxiety, and loneliness have shot upward with happiness declining. The teen suicide rate incread by more than 50 percent,
as did the number of teens with clinical-level depression.
Parents ud to worry about their teens spending too much time with their friends—they were a distraction, a bad influence, a waste of time. But it might be just what iGen needs now.

I was about 30 years old and was working as a firefighter in the South Bronx’s Engine Co.82. It was a restful Sunday and between alarms I rushed to the office to read a copy of the New York Times.
I read an article on the Book Review ction which openly stated what I took to be a calumny (诽谤）-that William Butler Yeats had gone beyond his Irishness and was forever to be known as a universal poet. As I read it, my blood began to boil.
I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote out a letter of anger to the editor. Yeats had lived his life and
