Of all the tribulations in this world, boredom is the one most hard to bear.
所有的苦难中,无聊是最难以忍受的。
When you feel bored, you may fail to focus on things you desire and you will easily get tired.
Because boredom often stimulates a form of anxiety and stress, evokes an emotional state that can open the door for frustration and procrastination.
If we think about those times when we are bored, it is usually because we don‘t know what to do, that means our indecision may play a big part.
When we are focused on what is important to us and what we want to achieve, it may be pretty hard to be bored.
So, the very answer to dissolve the feeling of boredom may be to become focused on what we really want.
But how to get focused on those really important things?
Maybe we should spend some time in quiet contemplation considering what‘s important to us.
As to me, maybe I should pay more attention on reading papers and coding for some practical engineering projecs.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
走出舒适区,生活才算开始。
From Neale Donald Walsch.
What is comfort zone? I think it is behavioral space where our activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that can minimize stress and risk.
In our comfort zone, there is a sense of familiarity, security and certainty.
When we start stepping out of our comfort zone, we are taking a risk, and opening ourselves up to the possiblity of stress and anxiety, because we are not quite sure what will happen, how should we react, and whether we can succeed.
Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with being in our comfort zone, but we may get too confortable and start holding ourselves back instead of challenging new things, and learning new skills. That would be terrible if we want to catch up with the pace of this fast-moving world.
So, just be courageous to step out of our comfort zone, that would start a new chapter for our life.
