SICP, 3

Just as every day thoughts are expressed in natural language, and formal deductions are expressed in mathematical language, methodological thoughts are expressed in programming languages. A programming language is a method for communicating methods, not just a means for getting a computer to perform operations – programs are written for people to read as much as they are written for machines to execute.

There is no direct self-interaction.

An observation or measurement is an interaction between the observer and the observed, involving two objects. So there is logically impossible to have direct self-observation.

You cannot see yourself directly from your own point of view. Instead, you can only see your mirror, photo, and video images. In other words, you can only indirectly see yourself.

恆心無用 1.5

Allow no exceptions 2.5 | 活在當下 3.5 | 魚目混珠 5.5 | Presentation 基本原理 1.2.2.3 | Second best 6.2

這段改編自 2010 年 7 月 8 日的對話。

.

不是任何人也需要對自己那麼「絕」；但是如果你要奪得最高的 A 級成績，別無他法。

（LMC：其實我是不看「世界盃」的。）

那只是其中一個例子，你可以換上其他，近乎一定會令你分心的事情，例如：

  1. 電視劇大結局；

  2. 男朋友打電話給你，要和你分手；

  3. 家人中了「六合彩」，要你跟他們一同出外慶祝；

等等。

無論這類的事情，對你來說有多重要，你也要忍痛一一拒絕，才能成就大事業。

要做到那麼「絕」，當然是辛苦，但是，你慢慢就會習慣。二來，即使不是講讀書，人生的其他劇情中，有很多時候，「絕」是無可避免的，例如：

假設我有一位心儀的女士。但是，因為某些原因，我已經肯定，她不會是我的未來太太。那樣，無論我多喜歡她；無論她有多麼接近完美，我也不應該追求她。否則，我只會誤人誤己。

換句話說，無論她對我來說有多重要，也不會及我的「未來太太」重要。
