Daily Productive Sharing 1196 - Two Years in NYC

Dr Selfie -

One helpful tip per day:)

After living in New York for more than two years, Herbert Lui shared his reflections:

  1. If you really want to see the entire Metropolitan Museum, you might try the approach of this couple—who spent seven years visiting every weekend.
  2. Expecting to see everything will only lead to disappointment. Finding what truly belongs to you is a much more fulfilling goal.
  3. After a few years, you get to know each other better, and the initial magic fades. What remains is more precious—that’s reality.
  4. Knowing a place and truly understanding it are two different things, just like with people.
  5. In New York, streets run east-west, and avenues run north-south.
  6. Jaywalking is second nature to locals—it’s just a habit.
  7. Only when you truly understand a place’s habits can you start setting your own rules.
  8. Living in New York gave him a new perspective on autumn and reminded him to reassess beliefs that no longer serve him.
  9. Be proud of the music you love and share it with the world. More importantly—be proud of who you truly are.
  10. The Metropolitan Museum became one of his favorite places. He was grateful for keeping an open mind and not letting arrogance taint the experience. But he also reminded himself to be less stubborn when feeling exhausted.
  11. Free lunches do exist. When someone offers you one, pass on the goodwill—you’ll feel better for it.
  12. People leave their hometowns and move to challenging places like New York because it means something to them. If you don’t want to stay, you won’t. If you do, you’ll find a way.
  13. Sometimes, the best way to appreciate your hometown again is to leave it first.
  14. If you want to move here alone, go for it—just make sure to find experiences worth sharing, whether with acquaintances, friends, or a loved one.
  15. Don’t give up on the things you love. Breathe life into them. Instead of complaining, start caring.
  16. When people act with extreme selfishness, it’s easy to feel angry—until you realize they will eventually face the consequences of their actions on their friends and family.
  17. I’ve said before: life is long—long enough for you to patiently create meaningful change. But it’s also short, so don’t just keep waiting.

在纽约居住了两年多之后，Herbert Lui 写下了他的感受：

  1. 如果你真的想把大都会博物馆看完，可以尝试这对夫妇的方法——他们花了七年，每个周末都去参观。
  2. 期待自己能看遍一切，只会让自己失望。而找到属于你的东西，才是更幸福的目标。
  3. 过了几年，你会更了解彼此，最初的魔力会逐渐消散。而留下来的东西更珍贵，那就是现实。
  4. 认识一个人和真正了解一个人是两回事，生活的地方也是如此。
  5. 在纽约，街道是东西向，大道是南北向。
  6. 当地人喜欢乱穿马路——这已经成为一种习惯。
  7. 当你真正理解一个地方的习惯，你才有资格为自己制定规则。
  8. 住在纽约让他以全新的角度看待秋天，同时也提醒他去重新审视那些已经不再适合自己的固有观念。
  9. 要为自己喜欢的音乐感到自豪，并与世界分享。事实上——要为真正的自己感到自豪。
  10. 大都会博物馆成了他最喜欢的地方之一。他很庆幸自己保持开放的心态，没有让自负影响体验，但我也提醒自己，在疲惫的时候要减少固执己见的态度。
  11. 免费午餐确实存在。当有人给你一份时，分享这份好运，你会感觉更好。
  12. 我们决定离开家乡，搬到这个充满挑战的地方，因为这对我们来说意义重大。如果你不想留在这里，你不会留下。如果你想留下，你一定会找到方法。
  13. 有时候，最好的方式去重新欣赏自己的家乡，就是先离开它。
  14. 如果你想独自搬到这里，就大胆去做——只是要确保找到一些可以与别人分享的经历，无论是和熟人、朋友，还是爱人。
  15. 不要放弃你热爱的事物。给它们注入生命。与其抱怨，不如去关心。
  16. 当人们表现得极端自私时，我们很容易感到愤怒，直到我们意识到，他们最终还是要面对这种行为对朋友和家人带来的后果。
  17. 之前我说过，人生很长——长到足够让你耐心地去创造有意义的改变。但它也很短，所以别一直等待。
