It may be the hliday seasn, but the spirit f peace and gd will has nt infected the streets f Ls Angeles. Mre drivers seem t be rlling thrugh stp signs and running red lights than ever befre. Everyne seems t be in a terrible hurry.
Why is everyne in such a hurry? Where are they rushing t?
I think perhaps the answer lies in answering this questin: What des the rund f parties and meetings and mad rushing frm place t place allw all f us t avid cnfrnting? I think the answer is clear—urselves.
There is an experiment where subjects had t chse between being alne with themselves and their thughts fr apprximately 15 minutes and receiving electric shcks. The majrity chse the shcks—a reflectin f pain, fear, threat, cnfusin, bredm, yu name it.
Our desire nt t be with ur innermst thughts is s great that we create and find distractins. In the car, we will make phne calls r listen t music. We live in a wrld f endless pprtunities fr distractin.
I understand the desire. Life is hard. Grwing is a painful and slw prcess. T keep mving requires determinatin and strength—and giving up seems s much easier. We may win sme battles, but the war is never ver. Smetimes we are just t tired t fight and just need music r bks t relax. I just instinctively (本能地) turn n the radi when I get in the car; I dn't even give the quiet a mment t sink in.
But it's time fr a reality check; therwise we will slip int avidance mde. It's challenging, but let's make a change. Instead f rushing frm the huse t the car, t meetings, r t grceries, let's take a mment t stp and think befre each activity. What d I want t achieve nw? And what is the best way t d that?

Des Fame Drive Yu Crazy?
Althugh being famus might sund like a dream cme true, tday's stars, feeling like z animals, face pressures that few f us can imagine. They are at the center f much f the wrld's attentin. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp utside their hmes, cameras ready. Tablids (小报) publish thrilling stries abut their persnal lives. Just imagine nt being able t d anything withut being phtgraphed r interrupted fr a signature.
Accrding t psychlgist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famus peple—wrry cnstantly abut their public appearance. Eventually, they star t t lse track f wh they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, nt as the peple they were befre everyne knew their names. “Over time，” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alne.”
The phenmenn f tracking celebrities has been arund fr ages. In the 4th century B．C., painters fllwed Alexander the Great int battle, hping t picture his victries fr his admirers.

They fcus nt n hw famus they are but n what they lve t d r whatever made them famus in the first place.
