Chapter2 Happiness is a problem
感想
我们总是觉得要追求令我们开心的事情才会幸福，所以讨厌一切的伤痛和负面情绪。但我们根本逃脱不掉，因为伤痛会告诉我们哪些是危险，让我们在危险的世界生存下来，而诸如失败导致的负面情绪则会让我反思，如何不再犯同样的错误。
所以当我们遇到困难时应该去想办法解决，而不是像鸵鸟一样将头埋起来，自欺欺人。工作中就有这种事情，明明知道可能会产生一些问题，可是我就是懒得去解决，直到最后多米诺骨牌全部瘫倒的时候才后悔莫及。或者虽然承认问题的存在却怨天尤人，觉得都是外界环境造成的，自己没有问题，自己也没办法解决。7 Habits of Highly Effective People里有一条就是Be proactive，做自己能力范围内能解决的事情。
True happiness occurs only when you find the problems you enjoy having and enjoy solving.
真正的幸福就是在不断的解决问题。我觉得这也是沉浸在你喜欢做的事中，不断提升进步，让自己产生成就感的过程。而赌博、玩手机或者沉迷游戏都只是开心的假象，过后都让人觉得空虚和后悔。比如我自己刷微博，时间唰唰就过去了，回忆起来却都是些没有用的八卦。而写笔记则相反，写的时候真是各种struggle，但之后却充实而开心。The willpower Instinct科学的解释过这种high的假象，用电击刺激小白鼠大脑产生兴奋的部分，小白鼠连饭都不吃，就只想享受这种“开心”的感觉，最后竟然被活活饿死。所以大脑的感觉有时候是骗人的。
Our struggle determines our success.
It's a never-ending upward spiral. And if you think at any point you're allowed to stop climing, I 'm afraid you're missing the point. Because the joy is in the climb itself.
