【窄式學習主題: 訓練 Focus (專注力) 的 4 本英文好書推薦】

恆毅力一書作者 Angela Duckworth 在書中曾提到，曾經有一次記者分別在不同的房間問 Bill Gates 以及 Warren Buffet 他們覺得讓他們成功的最大要是什麼？他們同時講出：Focus （專注力)。

「專注力」在智慧型手機人手一支，各種五花八門的 mobile apps (Instagram、Facebook 尤其) 每天想要爭奪我們 attention (注意力)的時代，變成了像是奢侈品。Youtube 影片看到一分鐘覺得不好看，旁邊新的影片隨時 stand-by，無止無盡地滿足我們的新鮮感。

也研究 Self-Control 的 Angela Duckworth 就幽默說過，在我們嘗試想要教孩子自制力、專注力的同時，還有一大票工程師在矽谷每天在想如何 "make Instagram even better."

關於如何提升專注力的科普書不少，但是真的是基於實證科學研究的不見得多。今天想跟大家分享4本談論專注力的好書：

1️⃣ Focus 專注的力量 (Daniel Goleman)
2️⃣ Deep Work 深度工作力 (Cal Newport)
3️⃣ Digital Minimalism 數位極簡主義 (Cal Newport)
4️⃣ Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life (尚未有中譯版)

因文章篇幅有限，書的內容介紹有機會用直播的方式跟大家分享交流。:)

✔︎ 窄式學習是什麼？我們為什麼要做窄式學習呢？

(看 Youtube 影片介紹窄式學習) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0mkG7zfLRU

因為我們大腦的「注意力資源」、以及「訊息處理資源」是很有限的，所以當我們在讀英文、聽英文時，知道如何去「分配」這樣的「注意力資源」就非常重要。

在我們接觸語言時，粗分會有兩個面相爭相「搶」我們的資源：

➠ 一方面是這句話到底在說什麼 (meaning)
➠ 另一方面是語言用怎樣的文法、字詞搭配、句型等去堆砌、表達出這樣的意思 (form)。

做窄式學習時，我們會對於「同一主題」或「同一作者」所寫的文章或給的演講大量接觸。而你會發現，內容通常很相似，用字遣詞也很相似。藉由這樣語言的相似性以及「背景知識」的累積下，減少我們在閱讀或是聽的時候的負擔，最終以達到 form 和 meaning 都能夠被我們照顧到而真正達到「用得出來」的學習目標。

My Takeaways from Proverbs 30

(Day 23 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):

Meaning of the name “Agur”: Collector/ Gatherer/ Assembler.

Meaning of the name “Jakeh”: Pious.

Meaning of the name “Ithiel”: God is with me.

Meaning of the name “Ucal”: To be able/ To have power.

Put the four names together and you get the understanding of why the Holy Spirit included their names in Proverbs 30:
The Pious Collector is writing these words of wisdom for us so that in studying these, God will be with us to enable us and give us His power.

Only God the Father has done this together with Jesus.
God the Father descended to earth on Mount Sinai when the Ten Commandments were given.
He created the world.
His Son’s name is Jesus.

“Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name? Certainly you know!” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭30:4‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

God’s word is reliable and you can trust in His promises. When you do, He will protect you.

“Every word of God is tested and refined [like silver]; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭30:5‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

These two things are essential for letting God’s power flow unconstricted in our lives:
1) Don’t lie, and avoid associating with liars.
2) Focus on Jesus and not on material wealth - He will definitely supply you with the provision that you need.

“Two things I have asked of You; Do not deny them to me before I die: Keep deception and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion, So that I will not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or that I will not be poor and steal, And so profane the name of my God.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭30:7-9‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

This sounds like the current state of society.
What strikes me most is that they are pure in their own eyes, but they are actually not washed from their sins.
This generation needs to know Jesus. He is the only way to true purity.

“There is a generation (class of people) that curses its father And does not bless its mother. There is a generation (class of people) that is pure in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness. There is a generation (class of people)--oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are raised in arrogance. There is a generation (class of people) whose teeth are like swords And whose jaw teeth are like knives, To devour the afflicted from the earth And the needy from among men.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭30:11-14‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

This is the fate of unbelievers: The worms/leeches and the unquenchable fire in the lake of fire are never satisfied and will never say “it is enough”.
They will just torture those who died in their sins for eternity - what a tragic fate!

“The leech has two daughters, “Give, give!” There are three things that are never satisfied, Four that do not say, “It is enough”: Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, “It is enough.”” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭30:15-16‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

The Law is a servant whereas Jesus is the son. When believers exalt the Law above Grace (Jesus), the earth quakes for it knows the truth that the balance is upset.
A fool is destined for poverty. Only the wise will receive true and lasting riches.
“Unloved woman” is ”hateful woman” in NKJV.
When a woman is still un-virtuous, she is not ready to be a wife. She needs to learn the qualities of a virtuous wife in Proverbs 31.
Hagar (Sarah’s maidservant) and Sarah (Abraham’s wife) represent Law and Grace respectively.
When believers treat the Law as better and above Grace, that’s when tragedy happens to them.

“Under three things the earth is disquieted and quakes, And under four it cannot bear up: Under a servant when he reigns, Under a [spiritually blind] fool when he is filled with food, Under an unloved woman when she gets married, And under a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭30:21-23‬ ‭AMP‬)

If you have done this, then put a stop to it immediately because there is no escaping the consequence of letting your anger get the better of you.
Anger itself is not sin, but it is a powerful emotion that can drive you to commit sin.
To let God’s power flow unconstricted in your life, you need to meditate on God’s word and listen to Jesus-centered sermons.
That way you will become a wise person with a calm spirit and true self-control.

“If you have foolishly exalted yourself, Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth. Surely the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭30:32-33‬ ‭AMP‬‬)
