照明：增强乐观的肌肉

In India, when a baby elephant is captured, its legs are tied to a post with a rope. It struggles, cries, and tries to break free, but it eventually stops, because it learns that the venture is hopeless. As the elephant gets older, it is kept tied to the same post, with the same rope, despite its much larger size. Even though it is now strong enough to easily break free from its confinement, it doesn’t. Why? Because it thinks it can’t. Because it’s forgotten it’s an option. Because it’s forgotten that breaking free is what it wanted to do.

这是学习的无助。我们偶尔（或不偶尔）都生活在与大象相同的心理空间中。我们告诉自己，“我不能……”或“我永远不会……”或“我不应该得到……”。或者我们忘记了我们实际上有比我们感知更多的选择。我们停止尝试，放弃，自决和自由枯萎的肌肉。

Learned Optimism is how we get those muscles back in shape. It’s how we go about the business of helping ourselves.
