Most people are inherently inquisitive. I spend a lot of time talking with our team about the value of curiosity. But over time, we can become set in our ways. Sometimes it seems easier to shrug off a new concept or task that appears difficult than to invest the time to master it. 大多数人生来好奇。我跟我们的团队花了很长时间讨论好奇的重要性。但随着时间的推移,我们会形成固定的思维模式。有时候,我们更容易放弃一些看起来难以应付的新想法或新任务,而不会花时间掌握其中要领。 A study at the University of Texas at Dallas found that learning challenging new skills keeps your mind sharp. Another three-month study found that adults who learned a demanding new task, such as digital photography, fared better on memory tests than control groups who spent time in less challenging pursuits, such as reminiscing with others or watching movies. 德克萨斯大学达拉斯校区的一项研究表明,学习有挑战性的新技能会让你的头脑保持敏锐。另一项为期三个月的调查发现,学习高难度任务的成年人,如数码摄影,在记忆测试上比那些低追求的人进展更好,比如和他人一起回忆或是看电影。 |
