二、七选五阅读
The chicken or the egg—which came first It’s probably one of the most commonly cited paradoxes (悖论)—a chicken hatches from an egg, so the egg came first, right But then what laid the egg 12 That’s exactly what a paradox is—a problem that seemingly has no definitive solution and can’t be logically solved.
13 How can work be flexible but maintain structure How can we switch off if we’re working from home Two contrasting ideas could cause people stress, but what if we accept the contradiction and change the way we look at it 14
A paradox consists of two seemingly impossible realities that exist at the same time. 15 For example, holding on to change may lead to burn-out, while maintaining stability may lead to boredom. Some experts have found the acceptance of both realities and a willingness to accept them can improve both creativity and productivity by allowing you to find a path through the contradictions.
A 1996 study of geniuses by Albert Rothenberg found that those thinkers spent time considering opposites and antitheses. Consider Einstein. The theory of relativity was born out of the paradox that something could be moving and stationary at the same time, depending on perspective.
So, having a “paradox mindset” and accepting the bigger picture may help you to better understand problems. 16 As a result, it may lead you to improving your productivity and creativity. If it worked for Einstein, maybe it could be good for you too!
A．The two ideas seem contradictory.
B．The two questions remain unanswered.
C．This is what some experts call the “paradox mindset”.
D．It could also make you happier knowing that contradictions exist.
E．Paradoxes are apparently ridiculous or self-contradictory statements.
F．Paradoxes don’t just exist in philosophical debates but also in our daily lives.
G．If you embrace one of those realities and ignore the other,it can cause problems.
