A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
问题
Problems
There are a lot of things we as individuals can't do much about. We can't solve global warming as individuals, or health care problems, but as individuals, most of us can get our kids reading. We can do that.
作为个人,我们有很多事情是无能为力的。作为个人,我们无法解决全球变暖问题,或医疗保健问题,但作为个人,我们中的大多数人可以让我们的孩子阅读。我们可以做到。
If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather that dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities.

It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.

You can also make explicit certain social problems which, again, would be prejudged or not encountered at all in real life, because people have set up defenses against it. Fantasy allows you to get past defenses.
你也可以明确指出某些社会问题,这些社会问题,在现实生活中,可能会受到偏见的影响,或者根本不会遇到,因为人们已经对它建立了防御。幻想让你突破自我防卫。
It caused more problems as a young kid, because the simple process of perceiving words on a piece of paper was hard for me. Many people think dyslexic people see things backwards. They don't see things backwards.

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.

People think when you get a record deal all your problems will go away. We know that the bigger we get, the more problems we'll have. I guess Puff Daddy was somewhat - what's the word? - prophetic in that respect.

Incidentally, one of the most worrying problems in the impact of Western modernity on traditional culture is that it quite rapidly communicates its own indifference or anxiety or even hostility about age and ageing.

Everyone just talks about the problems our teenage girls are facing and what they're dealing with. But there was, to me, a void in how they were being served or helped. I thought, 'Wow, I'd love to create something.'

People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.
人们不希望自己的生活被改变。没有人希望自己的问题得到解决。他们的戏剧。他们的干扰。他们的故事解决。他们的脏乱打扫干净了。因为他们还剩下什么?只是一个可怕的未知。
We've got the children so we have to deal with each other because we have to deal with children's problems, you know, and our own problems. But some days it's fine, and then some days we just are at each other's throat.

I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.
