Of course, people aren’t nearly as eager to take credit for their failures and flaws. Psychologists have shown that all humans are subject to “fundamental attribution error.” When we assess others, we tend to attribute successes to circumstance and failures to character — and when we assess our own lives, it is the opposite. Everyone’s relationship with luck is somewhat self-interested and opportunistic.

有很多人說:人的一ˋ生可以賺多少錢或者有多少成就,早就註定好了
個人並不認同,這個似是而非的觀念
川普他,如只想當個有錢人並過者安逸的生活,不求上進,他會當上總統嗎?

嗯!!這樣說起來,川普能當總統,實在不是他多有能力,有多努力,而是他有多幸運,芸芸眾生只能夠為生活奔波辛苦, ...

並不是說後天不能改變命運，只是要非常有前瞻性的過生活，走過人世這一遭，並不容易。

Child development psychologists tell us that deep and lasting shaping of neural pathways happens in the first hours, days, months, and years of life. Basic dispositions are formed that can last a lifetime. Whether you are held, spoken to, fed, made to feel safe and cared for — you have no choice in any of it, but it more or less forms your emotional skeleton. It determines how sensitive you are to threat, how open you are to new experience, your capacity to exercise empathy.


人生很多事情一生出來，以及在他的兒童發展時期就註定了，很難改變。人的成功，也制約於他的條件，平心而論，人的成功，也是運氣使然(看你出生在什麼家庭)。

I get why people bridle at this point. They want credit for their achievements and for their better qualities. As Varney said, it can be insulting to be told that one’s success is in large part a lucky roll of the dice.

Your capacity for self-regulation and self-improvement, and your need for them, are both part of your inheritance. They come to you via life’s lottery. Via luck.

And, especially if you are poor, one step out of line — one incident at school, one brush with the justice system, one stupid teenage prank — can mean years or even a lifetime of consequences. Subaltern groups have to self-regulate twice as much to have half a chance.

下面這句話絕對是在罵川普的:


Some people don’t much need the ability to self-regulate, because their failures of self-regulation are forgiven and forgotten. If you are, say, a white male born to wealth, like Donald Trump, you can blunder about and fuck up over and over again. You’ll always have access to more money and social connections; the justice system will always go easy on you; you’ll always get more second chances. You could even be president someday, without being required to learn anything or develop any skills relevant to the job.

And the thing is, not everyone has equal access to those conditions. Whether and how much you have the ability to exercise system two in this way is largely — you guessed it — part of your inheritance. It too depends on where you were born, how you were raised, the resources to which you had access.

Even our desire and ability to alter our trajectory is largely determined by our trajectory.

有時候要改變人生，或是小到要改變交易的品質，都是很宿命的。
