人們最初是如何發(fā)明單詞的不得而知，換句話說，語言的起源是個秘密。所有我們所知

道的只是，人，不同于動物，不知怎么發(fā)明了某些聲音來表達(dá)思想、情感、行為和物質(zhì)，以

便相互交流；后來統(tǒng)一了某些被稱為字母的符號，這些字母可以連起來代表那些聲音，可以

寫下來。我們把那些聲音叫做單詞，不管他們是口語還是書面語。

文字的力量在于其聯(lián)系性一它們把這些聯(lián)系性帶到我們的頭腦中。通過經(jīng)歷，單詞對我

們充滿了意義。我們活得越久，某些單詞就越能使我們回憶起過去的喜怒哀樂；我們越是閱

讀和學(xué)習(xí)，有意義的單詞數(shù)量就越增加。

偉大的作家是那些不僅具有偉大思想而且能用詞匯來表達(dá)這些思想的人，他們的思想強(qiáng)烈

地震撼著我們的心靈和情感。單詞的這種美妙和寓意用法就是我們所謂的文學(xué)性?？傊?/p>

正的詩人是文字的掌握著。他可以用音樂般的詞匯來表達(dá)自己的意思，這些詞匯憑借其所用

環(huán)境和聯(lián)系性能讓人感動得流淚。因此，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會仔細(xì)選擇所用詞匯并準(zhǔn)確使用，否則

會使我們說的話可笑又粗俗。

羞怯是許多人不快樂的原因。害羞的人焦慮不安，自我意識強(qiáng)，也就是說，他們過分在

意自己的形象和行為。焦慮時?？M繞在他們的腦海中：我給人留下了什么印象?他們喜歡我

嗎?我讓人覺得很傻嗎?我的穿著是否不吸引人？

顯而易見，這種不舒適的感覺必然給人們帶來了不利的影響。一個人的自我意識反映在

他或她的行為上，而一個人的行為會影響他人的反應(yīng)。一般而言，人們認(rèn)識自己的方式對他

們的生活的方方面面有深遠(yuǎn)的影響。

羞怯的人非常自卑，他們可能很被動，容易受他人的影響。他們需要得到他人的再次確

認(rèn)：他們所做的是“正確的事情羞怯的人對批評很敏感，他們認(rèn)為批評使得他們更低人一

等。他們也發(fā)現(xiàn)自己很難因為受到類似的表揚(yáng)而高興，如：你剛才所說的使我感覺很好。我

知道那不是真的。很明顯，盡管具有自知之明是件好事，但過度自謙則是有害的。

羞怯能根除嗎?或至少能減少些嗎?幸運(yùn)的是，許多人能通過堅決而有耐心地建立自信來

克服羞怯。既然羞怯與自卑天生相伴，那么人們能看見他們的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)是很重要的。

每一個人都是獨(dú)一無二的，都有其價值所在。我們對我們自己個人的方式感興趣。我們

了解自己越多，我們就越容易充分發(fā)揮自己的潛能。不要讓羞怯妨礙我們實現(xiàn)富裕而有成效

的人生。
