| Just 25 years ago, the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher, banker and doctor. Now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to survey by the Guardian newspaper. Rachel, a character in the popular TV show Glee, may be said to speak for British teenagers. "Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor." He said. Emma Brockes, a reporter with the Guardian, believes it is "the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture" that is to blame. "When children wanted to be doctor, it wasn"t because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is." She wrote. It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Stranger, of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are "affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷)." "As humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most "important" people in the world and finding ourselves wanting," he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media. The way out? Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called "active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life." "The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement," he said. | |||||||||||

| It is a hot summer day, and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings, and sometimes one causes the other, but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them. When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy, you feel as if everything is against you. You may compensate for it by eating chocolate and sweets because this gives you pleasure；yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure, yet, this does not make him happier, especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health. The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created , changed, transformed and then destroyed. This is the normal state of things and no one call change it. If we stay still in a certain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind. The room of the mind was filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied, and then you will see what is happening and experience it When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness comes from the inside. | |||||||||||

| It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave." As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague"s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn"t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer. A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a s student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class - not about math, but about life - would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher. Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication and a deeper sense of satisfaction - I will always be grateful that I am a teacher. | |||||||||||
