英国导演迈克尔·艾普特拍了一部很牛的BBC纪录片《人生七年》(《56UP》)，导演选择了14个不同阶层的孩子进行跟踪拍摄，每七年记录一次、从7岁一直到56岁。很多文章解读说这就像之前天涯很火的那篇《寒门难再出贵子》，暴露了人生的残酷。 然而，一千个人眼中有一千个哈姆雷特。在这里换个角度另类解读这部每7年就火一次的纪录片——《人生七年》告诉我们的5条人生法则。 1. Life goes on. 无论发生什么，生活都会继续。 Through the years, we've seen the participants experience deaths, divorce, and dramatic career setbacks. We've also seen them prevail against adversity. 在纪录片中，我们可以看到参与拍摄的人们经历死亡、离婚、突发的职场挫折等等，也见证了他们走出逆境。 Over and over, we've seen the participants believe negative events meant their lives were finished. But people will gradually return to their personal “baseline” of happiness after a triumph or a tragedy. 多少次，这些人认为他们人生中的挫折似乎意味着自己的生活完蛋了，然而并没有。人们在战胜困难或经受磨难后，会逐渐回归到最基本平常的幸福。 The key to happiness is to raise that baseline by cultivating an approach to life that emphasizes appreciation for the good things, as well as qualities like forgiveness and compassion. |
