The term "Follow your passion" has increased ninefold in English books since 1990. "Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life" is another college-counseling standby of unknown provenance. But according to Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford University, that advice is steering people wrong.
"What are the consequences of that?" asked Paul O’Keefe, an assistant professor of psychology at Yale-NUS College. "That means that if you do something that feels like work, it means you don’t love it." He gave me the example of a student who jumps from lab to lab, trying to find one whose research topic feels like her passion. "It’s this idea that if I’m not completely overwhelmed by emotion when I walk into a lab, then it won’t be my passion or my interest."
That’s why he and two co-authors — Dweck and Greg Walton of Stanford — recently performed a study that suggests it might be time to change the way we think about our interests. Passions aren’t "found," they argue. They’re developed.
In a paper that is forthcoming in Psychological Science, the authors describe the difference between the two mind-sets. One is a "fixed theory of interests" — the idea that core interests are there from birth, just waiting to be discovered — and the other is a "growth theory," the idea that interests are something anyone can cultivate over time.
To examine how these different mind-sets affect our pursuit of different topics, the authors performed a series of studies on college students — a group that’s frequently advised to find their passion in the form of a major or career path.
First, students answered a survey that would categorize them as either "techy" — slang for interested in math and science —or "fuzzy," meaning interested in the arts or humanities. They also filled out a survey determining how much they agreed with the idea that people’s core interests don’t change over time. They then read an article that mismatched their interests — a piece on the future of algorithms for the fuzzies, and a piece on Derrida for the techies. The more the participants favoring a "fixed" theory of interests, the less interested they were in the article that mismatched their aforementioned identity as a techy or fuzzy.
The authors believe this could mean that students who have fixed theories of interest might give up interesting lectures or opportunities because they don’t in line with their previously stated passions. Or that they might overlook ways that other disciplines can intersect with their own.
"Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life" mean that______.
选项
A、what you really love is what you are working
B、what make you feel working is not what you love
C、your passion lies in your usual life
D、the common advice is misguiding people
答案
B
解析
题干问: “找到你爱的,在你的生命中就从来不会有工作的一天”意味着______。可定位到第二段第二句: “That means that if you do something that feels like work,it means you don’t love it.”(这意味着如果你做一些你感觉是工作的事情,那么你就不喜欢它),所以选项[B]正确。
