silicon valley 카테고리 없음2018. 12. 2. 14:45


최근 몇 주 흥미롭게 본  silicon valley. 

이것 떄문에 아마존 프라임 HBO를 한달동안  구독했고 한달안에 다 봐야했기에 꽤 열심히 봤다. 

그런데 ㅂ 게이츠도 보고 있었다는 최근 기사

그 분 왈 silicon valley 를 understand 하고 싶으면 보라고 했다니, 

평소보다 긴 드라마(?) 시청이 시간낭비는 아니었다는 생각이 든다.


silicon valley 에 산지 십년이 다 되어가고,

워낙 engineering 등 geeky environment 에 익숙하긴 하지만

technology 관련 종사자가 아니기에 잘 모르고 있던 것들을 이 TV 쇼를 통해서 많이 배웠다 - startup 이 어떻게 시작되는지, 등등. 


한편으로는  이 지역 물가를 감당하기 위해서 two full-time jobs 을 뛰거나 주 7 일을 일하는 등 long hours work 하거나, 혹은 이 지역 물가 등을 감당 못해서 이 지역을 떠나는 사람을 마주치곤 한다.

또 이 지역의 다른 어두운 부분들도 많고

 지역에서는 어떤 기도를 해야 하는가, 어떻게 살아가야 하는가 또 생각해 본다.

home as a safe base 카테고리 없음2018. 11. 25. 16:46

<the self-driven child> 라는 책에 대한 기사 중에서 
(더 이상 child 의 부모가 아니라 young adult 의 부모라 할 수 있지만)

Can you please explain the idea of home as a “safe base”? 


Johnson: Just as in baseball, when you reach home base, you’re in a place where you can catch your breath and not have to worry about being pegged with the ball or being called out, home should be a place for kids to rest and recover. They are facing stressors each day, from school demands to social dynamics. You want home to be the place they can go to seek a respite from it all, where they feel safe and loved unconditionally, where they can fully relax, so that they can gather the energy to go back out. But if home is a stressful environment—if parents are an anxious or controlling presence—kids will seek that respite somewhere—or somehow—else. And most of the time, it’s a place you don’t want them to go. Or, if nowhere can be that safe base, they are really in trouble, as being chronically stressed is about the worst thing imaginable for brains, especially developing ones. That’s why we tell parents that one of the most important things they can say to their kids is, “I love you too much to fight with you about your homework,” and why we want them to move in the direction of being a non-anxious presence for their kids.
