After much thought, like a powerful typhoon, I willingly dismantled myself to start anew...
The troublemaker of French philosophy circles — Oscar Brenifier
He published philosophical children's picture books that became bestsellers worldwide, a difficult old rascal.
He established his own "Institute of Philosophical Practices," and Hsu Shih-Ying became an入門disciple, facing challenges and impacts...
"Thinking doesn't need to be a gift! Anyone can learn to think through practice.
Face the bottlenecks in life and work, and become someone who isn't afraid to think or face problems."__Hsu Shih-Ying
Hsu Shih-Ying has been writing for over 20 years, gives nearly a hundred speeches annually, and has over 15 years of international NGO experience.
One day, he found he could no longer continue his work...
To break through the bottleneck, he took philosophy classes with French teacher Oscar Brenifier.
On the very first day, he was completely stripped back to his original self!
There was no course plan, no specific topics. From morning until midnight, everything required independent thought.
If you were silent, gave irrelevant answers, or were ambiguous, the teacher would question you until you were "utterly defeated"...
Why should one express oneself honestly? Why should one confront oneself sharply?
Knowing a little bit, is it knowing or not knowing? Is it shameful to say you don't know?
Loving you a little bit, is it love or not love? Is it hurtful to say you don't love?
Is the first step to leaving your comfort zone learning to speak the truth?
The shock of this devilish training, everything was dismantled from the beginning!
Hsu Shih-Ying suddenly remembered his arrogant self on the kindergarten stage, among the group;
From dissecting every word he spoke, he was startled to realize that the polite language he once prided himself on was an enemy of thought;
From every movement of his body, he uncovered his hidden self, admitting ignorance is the beginning of acquiring knowledge;
Although it was several times harder than imagined, breaking old habits of thought thousands of times,
Thinking has no "painless delivery," but one can find a few clear paths,
To shape oneself, to extend oneself, and finally shout: I want to live with philosophy! And start anew!
