My 3 year old son doesn’t like to drink his milk. So we never ask him to “drink his glass of milk”. We just ask him - “do you want milk in a glass or a ‘baby’ bottle?”

我3岁的儿子不喜欢喝牛奶。所以我们从来不让他“把杯里牛奶喝掉”。我们只是问他：“你想用杯子还是用奶瓶喝牛奶？”

Well, no points for guessing, it works every time… well, nearly every time. On most days, he ends up asking for a ‘glass of milk’.

毫无悬念，屡试不爽…恩，几乎每次都奏效。大部分时候他最终会选“用杯子喝牛奶”。

So, what exactly do we do here?? We offer him a choice. Rather than forcing our decision, we let him decide. But he doesn’t decide the end result (drinking the milk) but just the means (glass or baby bottle).

那么我们究竟是怎样做到的呢？我们给他选择权。我们不是把自己的决定强加给他，我们让他来决定。但他对最终结果没有决定权（喝牛奶），只能选择工具（杯子或奶瓶）。

We deceive his brain by empowering it, yet making it choose what we want.

我们通过给他自主权误导他，让他选择我们想要的结果。

1.Not having friends is as deadly as smoking.

1.没有朋友就像吸烟一样致命。

There's a relation between being lonely and blood clotting protein, which can lead to heart attacks.

孤独和凝血蛋白之间有联系，会导致心脏病。

2. What people look at on a screen or picture depends on what you say to them.

2.人们在屏幕或图片中看到的是什么取决于你跟他们说了什么。

If the picture hadn't said that it was Wolverine first, would you have seen it first?

如果上面这张图没有先告诉你这是金刚狼，你能先看出是金刚狼吗？

3. In our minds we tend to imitate and feel empathy for other people. We learn this as babies.

3.在我们的思想中倾向于模仿并对他人产生同感，这是在婴儿期学会的。

I shouldn't really say learn because it's actually wired into our heads. But when we do an action a certain set of neurons fire, and when we watch someone do an action that certain set of neurons also fire as if you were doing it yourself.

其实我不该用“学习”这个字眼，因为这些其实是很自然地进入我们头脑中的。我们进行某个活动时特定的神经元会被激活，当我们看到别人做一个活动时，那些神经元也会被激活，就好像你自己在做一样。
