优雅而复古的订阅方式 RSS

好比一个不受任何平台限制的邮箱、专门接收你选中的内容。内容汇聚在一起，等你准备好了，再打开看。

随着2013年Google关闭旗下的 RSS 阅读器，我们的订阅方式逐渐被站内订阅、人工/算法推荐取代。2013年也是人人网gg，微信占领市场的那一年。2017年多个 RSS 阅读器被中国商店下架。如今2020年，几经起伏的 RSS 还是活得很好。

在 RSS 的鼎盛时期，我还太小 (实事求是)。后来我设想了一个公众号阅读体验 flow「浏览推送标题，制作阅读列表，估算时间，进行阅读」。结果震惊挫败又惊喜地发现，这不就是 RSS 吗？果然好的主意都被别人落实过了。

只有 RSS 才能

1. 汇聚信息、打破平台的壁垒

不数不知道，我使用的内容型产品有十多个，这意味着我每天有十多个 Newsfeed 要刷才能不错过喜欢的作者。知乎？b站？Medium？万物皆可 RSS，省去不同平台间切换的麻烦，让内容来找你。顺便也可以减少推送和广告的打扰。

2. 精选的信息源

2019年的一项研究证明了自行选择信息源的优点。将一个新闻APP的用户分成两组，一组可以自由选择所订阅的媒体，另一组无法选择媒体，只能阅读APP中随机提供的文章。自行选择新闻源的读者会修正偏激的观点，变得更中立。

The users who selected their news sources … were less likely to have radical policy views-an alleviation of polarization-in comparison with those who read randomly provided articles. — Better the Devil You Know

面对熟悉的媒体，读者会根据媒体倾向性对它们提供的观点进行矫正。对偏激观点的修正，基于对信息源的了解。所以面对随机的信息源，用户没有意识、也没有能力做出矫正。RSS 的每一个信息源都需要手工添加。因此这个实验中自行选择新闻源可以对应 RSS，随机的新闻源对应了更普遍的算法推荐。从这个角度来看，RSS 有着毋庸置疑的优势。

3. 关注低频、高质量、非商业化的内容

这类不大力运营的作者很容易就淹没在各种平台中了。想要看独立博客、佛系公众号、学术期刊等，要么忍受 Email Newsletter 的骚扰，要么只能隔一段时间保佑自己还记得点进去看看。用 RSS 订阅是最优雅的解决方式。 “… in this age of algorithmic overreach there’s something deeply satisfying about finding stories beyond what your loudest Twitter follows shared, or that Facebook’s News Feed optimized into your life.”

每次 Facebook Newsfeed 一出什么幺蛾子，Tech Crunch 就会发文说 RSS 该复兴了！国内也有充满生命力的 RSSHub 适配了上千项内容。

激进的正方说，”RSS 有明天，而微信公众号不见得有什么明天。我话就摆在这里：微信不出十年就会死，而 RSS 会一直演进和活跃下去……因为 Internet 自诞生以来就有着一种 开放和去中心化的基因 。任何试图将其中心化、试图使用封闭的协议的做法，都迟早会告失败和灭亡。中国的那帮产品经理不过是历史中的烟尘；而 Aaron Swartz 将永生。”

悲观的反方说，”这使得提供内容的网站无法对运营效果做出评估，就连文章点击量+1都无法统计，其中一些网站赖以生存的广告营收也荡然无存……RSS 难以连接内容提供者和读者，也无法平衡了内容提供者与读者之间的关系，砍去RSS订阅也成了无奈之举……”

对我而言，RSS 具有不可替代的优势。在多数平台上，娱乐化的内容和有知识性的内容混杂在一起。有时脑子想在 Youtube 看个专业内容，手却点了美妆博主。所以我依旧使用各种平台娱乐，同时对知识和专业内容使用 RSS 订阅，就不用透支自己的自制力。用着只有一个字，爽！

我因此离不开 RSS ，但我也无法割舍平台带来的多样互动。写文章没有留言实在太寂寞。互联网追求共享，商业追求垄断。RSS 这个矛盾结合体的命运会如何？在找答案的过程中，我读到了这样一段话，

“信息时代要启蒙和复兴的，不是原教旨的技术架构或者特定工具，而是人置身于海量信息而不被其裹挟，与算法、AI 的不确定性相处而不被其左右的能力。如不其然，复兴了 RSS，也只是给假新闻多一个传播的渠道；复兴了开放互联网，也只是给傲慢和偏见多一个活跃的温床。”

说得太好了。就用它结尾吧。

我们应该追求的是置身于海量信息而不被其裹挟，与算法、AI 的不确定性相处而不被其左右的能力。

如果你想试试 RSS 可以从这份指南开始： https://sspai.com/post/56391
如果你也是个不恰饭的内容生产者，应该避免将微信这样的生态闭环作为唯一的发布点，至少应该同步一个支持站外搜索的平台。不寄人篱下最佳，好内容不必和短寿的互联网产品同沉浮。

We need to think about how to not let our mind be shaped by algorithms so much and take more control in our identities.

Every single article I find on this topic is written for developers on how to write more ethical programs. I am writing this for everyone else, consumers of algorithms.

1. Internalize concepts like Algorithmic Bias and Echo Chambers.

Study shows that if you teach a girl what sexism is, they would be less affected by it later in life. The first step to eliminate negative impact is to be able to pin point its cause.

2. More search. Less newsfeed.

Searching inside the product of your choice would provide the algorithm more accurate data on what you choose to care about, instead of letting it feed you predictions that might be off. Searching outside the product of your choice would more likely give you diversity. Be proactive when you are consuming information.

3. Avoid overflowing your brain.

With products like TikTok and infinity scrolls, there isn’t really time to stop and reflect on what we just consumed. Therefore, it is harder to execute critical thinking. We should try to take breaks to assess if the information.

4. Understand the product that you use.

How does the company profit? Ads or subscription? Is the information distributed biased? Is the company transparent with their strategy? Are you getting taste-breakers or being continuously affirmed? These answers would help you assess the credibility of the information you see on a certain platform.

What are your strategies to escape the negative impacts of the algorithmic world?

Other than reputation, what most interests you about attending this graduate program in the College of Engineering at CMU?

My goal for this program is clear. I want to gain depth in interaction design and develop breadth in neighboring fields. MIIPS is my top choice because the set up of this program aligns perfectly with my aspirations.

I became a UX designer after graduating from college. One day, I was going through the research data for an app design project I was tasked with. While analyzing the problems that the client faces, I asked myself, “What if an app is NOT the best solution?” The fresh doubt to me is the taste of the forbidden fruit. I couldn’t bear the thought that I was not delivering the most effective solution. Set out to solve human problems, I was bound by the title as a UX designer. It’s time to become more.

Learning that meaningful solutions are always human-centered, and often integrative, I am embracing possibilities. I choose MIIPS because of the strong foundation in human-centered design theories and impressive spectrum in design, spanning from product to strategy. The business and engineering aspect is also essential for me to learn the entire process, in order to become a more well-rounded designer. I will grasp the opportunity to learn the skills that will empower me to provide coherent interdisciplinary solutions.

The most unique aspect of this program that attracts me is the master’s essay. This is the only program where I can explore a topic in-depth in the form of literature. I would like to understand how can we make collaboration more altruistic. I’ve encountered situations where people want to “save” the ideas for themselves, which is often counter-productive. I hope I can learn more about the nature of our collaboration during the summer internship and discuss this more in the essay.

Last but not least, the industry perspective brought to the program by sponsors and alumni is critical. As I plan to advance my career through this program, I really value the networking opportunities and even job opportunities. With deep roots in integrated innovation, CMU makes an exceptional learning environment.

What are your goals after you complete your degree, and how will our graduate program help you achieve your immediate and longer-term future career objectives?

After graduation, I would love to take part in a top creative consultancy tackling problems with a hybrid approach. In the long term, I hope this program will prepare me for that job description that doesn’t exist yet. Hopefully, I will be working with emerging technologies, but it’s hard to get any more specific. When the time comes, we’ll connect the dots backwards.

Describe how your work, research, educational or other life experiences have prepared you for graduate study in this program.

My academic background has prepared me exceptionally well for this program. Graduating from a Cognitive Science degree, I know by heart the neuroscience that wires our senses, memory, attention, and the psychology of how we perceive the world, both being basic building blocks of user experience. I have internalized essential theories from the Gestalt Principle that helps us make sense of information visualization. Furthermore, conducting ethnographic research has prepared me for doing in-depth user research, to discover surface and examine unarticulated assumptions and root causes. I had the opportunity to interpret interview data by analyzing cultural models, as well as to do field research to learn about how our environment and embodiment affect the way we think, feel, and perform.

Approaching the final year of college, I put my theoretical knowledge to work. Some exciting work include creating a website for the local veteran-founded organic brewery, volunteering for an educational startup that provides STEAM education in India, and building a holographic exhibit for Birch Aquarium for under 200 dollars. Seeing my design in action is exhilarating, but more importantly, I remained in contact with all the teams and clients I have worked with. Because of the human connection involved, I am firmly convinced that design is “the one” for me.

Upon graduation, I worked at an internship and a few freelance projects as a UX designer. I gained valuable experience by leading a team of 8 designers, consulting for a ride-share company. A lot of self-learning on product management and workshop facilitation later, I led the team to overcome the difficulty of coordinating members in 3 time zones spanning 12 hours, and still managed to keep ideas flowing by using both synchronous and asynchronous ideation methods. I reminded teammates to delay criticism, ensured each decision-making process is collaborative, and most importantly, implemented the “no prototype, no meeting” rule. I am very confident that the communication and collaboration skills that I gained will continue to benefit me in the program.

I offer you a human-centered thinker and a dedicated team member. I will take my education from III and train my head, heart, and hands.

What sets you apart from other applicants? eg. Have you done significant community service? Have you published peer-reviewed research? Have you received significant awards?

Outside of school and work, giving back to the community is a big part of my life. I have volunteered for an NGO that promotes equality of education in underdeveloped areas in China for four years. And the empathy I built with the people I served helped me become a better designer.

In a volunteer project, my team’s goal is to promote a healthy diet for kids in National City, where fast food is five times more accessible there than in other areas. Overwhelmed by the volume of possible directions that this project can take after a brainstorm, I insisted on asking, “Which works better?” and “Why?” The temptation to build a digital product was evident. But asking those questions forced conversations about children. Drawing on my experience of volunteering as a teacher in rural China, the public schools were equipped with computers and projectors but most were coated with dust. Technology doesn’t create intent, it only amplifies it. The kids in National City lacked the motivation to eat healthily. And using technology would not create that. We ended up designing a gardening curriculum, which was implemented by an NGO.

One of the biggest problems in the design world today is the unevenly distributed resoure of design thinking. How to get talented designers to design for underprivileged communities where they are needed the most? I don’t have an answer yet, but I will keep using my design skills to empower the disadvantaged.

Besides that, I volunteer for the alumni association of my high school, organizing events in three different continents, and maintaining regional online communities. Service keeps me humble and grateful. It has also shown me the power of a robust community. I look forward to being a part of the III community as well.

肯定有的啦，要不然就写不出这篇了。

I. 推荐四个内容类产品

II. 中国风产品的特征？

III. 我也来模仿一个中国风

轻芒 平行世界中的Medium

想读更多的原创内容，可以试一下轻芒杂志。它收录的绝大部分文章来自微信公众号。根据你关注的话题、其它用户的“马克”、以及编辑的整理进行推荐，也支持搜索。弥补了微信公众号只能通过订阅、在看、转发、来发现新文章的缺陷。

视觉体验确实很不错，版权问题确实也很 sketchy。除了阅读之外的功能可用性非常差，但是就当作只能阅读的 MVP 也不影响使用。目前没有找到替代品。

轻芒杂志另有相对成熟的兄弟轻芒阅读，区别在于轻芒阅读收录了来自更多应用的原创（如知乎、好奇心日报）。

看理想 不拍片的文化品牌不是好出版社

第一次看到splash page和主页这个app就让我想起以前看过的一系列书。

左👈看理想splash screen 右👉理想国出版物封面

谁知它真的是【理想国 imaginist】的手笔，跨次元都能保持如此高的辨识度，这个branding也太强了！从UIUX设计到运营产出的插图、排版都维持了超高水准。艺术果然是相通的，这家老板审美真不错。

如果你喜欢理想国的作者群（木心、白先勇、侯孝贤、陈丹青等）肯定会喜欢看理想的独家内容：囊括文学、艺术、社科、影视、生活等等。没有保留的安利给大家！

小记 好想认识这个开发者

精致的字体、交互动画、和留白，让我一直不舍得删这个不怎么实用的文本编辑器。但是对于喜欢写诗或者摘录的朋友，这个产品应该还是很有吸引力的！

App Store的评论特别有趣。用户有什么抱怨，作者会回复“好的，Got”，然后新版本里就会增加功能或者修复bug。这也太酷了。这个开发者还有五个其它作品，每个都很小众，但是制作精良。比如这个5星的日语学习工具，用得上的同学一定要下一个！

石墨 到底有多原创？

如果以上产品都只是我眼中的中国风，石墨就是官方盖章的中国风了。石墨的产品总监在 UX Coffee 详谈了“为中国人做设计”，比如从古画和古建筑中提取的审美取向。

石墨更注重画面平衡和宁静的感觉。色盘看起来是这样，每个颜色都取了中二诗意的名字。

对比 Google Doc 一起看，很明显 Google 的比较扎眼。

石墨精挑细选的配色是为了让用户不管怎么配都能保持文档美观，但我接触的文档还是丑的各有千秋。看来只有 Dropbox Paper 和 Notion 这样不能选择字体和颜色的工具才能保证这一点。

II 这些【中国风】产品有什么有什么特点？

大面积选白色和墨色。内容也要选饱和度低的颜色。

以上产品的集合色板

无论是卡片式UI还是图标，都不会使用圆角。连三个点也是由三个小方块组成的。莫非直角和锐角和方块字更配？

轻芒

对比Medium的圆角卡片

Medium

同一图标的“中西”版本对比

左👈Medium 右👉看理想

III 现学现卖：综合以上观察和总结，

如何优雅地设计一个中国风产品图标？

首先，选择一个有衬线（笔锋）的中文字体。然后用制作方形印章的思路排版。其次，选稍有变化的黑白作为主色调，用在文物上能见到的某种彩色点缀。最后，取一个清新脱俗的名字。你就轻松得到了一个中国风图标。比如我画的这个，可能是在故宫里用的导航应用。

和正版比还挺像回事。

最后举两个错误示范

1. 用来看日杂的应用选了衬线字体，非常违和。

2. 用 AI 写诗的产品跟风用了最流行的高饱和渐变色，土到爆炸。

穿什么衣服还是要符合气质才好。这些内容型产品无论是用于内容生产还是消费，都与文化有关。中国风的视觉形象是建立在文化形象之上的。

​

If I were you，I would…

这样说不会有把自己的观点强加在别人身上的危险，有时如果确实涉及比较主观的判断（比如配色）也可以用来强调确实是 personal preference。

If your goal is to…

用一个条件限制自己的批评，就不会产生全盘否定别人的情况了。通过揣测别人的设计意图，也能表现出自己考虑周全，并且尊重对方的劳动成果。在这里可以顺势讨论一些 design tradeoff 并且提出自己观点。

Ask a question

不下结论，而是和对方探讨。很谦虚的亚子。直接给一个栗子，“I could be wrong, but it seems like this design could use some whitespace. What do you think?”（Source：https://www.invisionapp.Com/inside-design/give-designers-feedback/）

I like… I wish…

以上句型翻成中文也是适用的，这个，中文版就不能用了。在英语中 wish 从句后加虚拟语气有“不太可能实现”的意味，非常客气。中文里领导说“我希望”就是完全不同的意味了。大家品品。这个 framework 可以用来代替“三明治法”。

如果想深入研究 design critique 这个话题，O’Reilly 有一本小册子 Discussing Design 可以读。其中有一章是 Dealing with Difficult People 应该有不少人都感兴趣。
最后总结一下，要巧用条件状语和虚拟语态。这些表达方式听上去更加礼貌贴心。你有什么独家秘籍能和我分享吗？

我还写过日常｜写文书前看的书产品｜让我快乐掏钱的生产力工具资源｜设计师宅在家里学什么经历｜在200个拒信中找到了自信

我之后还会写被面试官当面表扬的作品集细节想看的话就点个关注吧～

去年十月在动笔文书前，我幸运的在机场的书店遇见了一本书，When Breath Becomes Air。我在五个小时的航程中一口气读完了它。合上书泪流满面的我想着，要是我的文书能写出十分之一的清晰和真诚就好了。

作者 Paul Kalanithi 被检出四期肺癌后动笔写下这本自传。以下是他的简历。

• Stanford — 文学 BA 生物 BS
• Stanford — 文学 MA
• Cambridge — MA in the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine
• Yale — School of Medicine
• Stanford — 神经外科实习医生

这本书的前半部分就是把他这每一个学位背后的“为什么”解释得明明白白。由于童年对文学的热爱，发展出了对“我是谁”（identity）的思考，所以去哲学、医学领域寻找这个问题的答案。

“The call to protect life — and not merely life but another’s identity; it is perhaps not too much to say another’s soul — was obvious in its sacredness. Before operating on a patient’s brain, I realized, I must first understand his mind: his identity, his values, what makes his life worth living, and what devastation makes it reasonable to let that life end.”

这引发了我对所谓“斜杠青年”的一些反思。这本自传的主题最终升级到探讨生命的意义，而文书只要写出选择你事业的意义就很棒了。那么，在我的生活中 different layers of identity（不同层面的身份属性）是该被割裂还是该互相影响呢？我走过的那些貌似是弯路的路到底是斜杠之后的无用功还是让我与众总不同的竞争力？

如果你的答案都是后者，这里给一个我参考过的范例吧！文书的主人不是斜杠青年“舞者/码农”，而是一个 coherent identity — 交互设计师。

https://sypvandy.wordpress.com/cmu-mhci-statement-of-purpose/

把文书推翻重写是发掘自己内心的过程，一个让你 connect the dots backwards 的契机。能这样想，就算写多少稿，也不会太痛苦了。今天我问了一个同届申请 HCI 大满贯选手有什么申请秘籍，他说“就写了篇真情实感的PS”。

这个系列还有后续。如果你正在准备申请研究生，祝愿你也能通过和自己对话，写出一样的清晰和真诚。比起整本的文书范例，不如读一些优秀的自传。When Breath Becomes Air 就非常合适。我接下来要读 Michelle Obama 的 Becoming。这里还有一个小建议：要大量的寻求 feedback，但你不需要采取所有人的 feedback。你的故事，没有人比你讲的更好。

今天真诚推荐以及评论一些我为之掏钱的 produtivity tools，这也是以后我想从事的方向。从人人都用的开始，说到写文章用的、以及设计师专用的。

• 什么秒杀了 Google 和 iCal？
• 写东西用人不如用 AI 呐！
• 只能做一件事的工具。
• 完美的 gif 是怎么做出来的？

Sorted

颠覆了我对日程的认知

https://staysorted.com/

设置好开始一天的时间和 break 的长度，Sorted 就会结合你固定时间的任务（如从 iCal 导入的课程表）和你今天的 to-do list，为你自动排好日程。并且在一天中，随时可以以当前为起点重新生成日程。这样做解决了永远 behind 这个问题。如果今天的任务没勾掉，这个任务会在明天的日程里继续出现。

如果以上功能还不够圈粉的话，sorted 是我用过的所有产品中（不只 Calendar 产品），手势交互做的最好的。举一个栗子，在 iPad 端，添加一个新事项的手势是“拨开”前后位置的事项。听我讲可能不如自己用那么有快感，无需绑卡的14天 free-trial 大家可以体验一下。

很难想象这种风格的产品是三个 HKU 的毕业生做的。我是通过在 settings 中一排苹果感的图标里一个写了“正月”的图标发现的。Onboarding Experience 也很有新意，下载的第一天，每一个新功能的学习都会以待完成事项出现。我给这个团队发过邮件，问能不能给他们做设计师，还得到了回复。追星成功的感觉～

Grammarly

不仅是改语法而已

$11.66包年 — $29.95单月

除了基础的错字检索、同义词替代，冗长片段识别，它还会成为你的 Content Strategy 助手！你的 Target Audience 和 Tone 也在它的考虑范围内。侧栏对你的写作进行打分和学习激励。我的研究生文书是付费的 premium 改的，AI 和 NLP 比网上找个真人更快、便宜、准确。即使免费版的可用性也很高。

在桌面版写作，体验也很不错。不像 Google Doc 和 Word 那样非得加一个框。用一张纸的形象做电子写作的载体其实是一个非常过时的 metaphor。现在的用户已经不需要这个视觉引导来理解“在这里写字”了，简简单单一个光标就可以。我偏爱的 Dropbox Paper 就没有这个问题。

也为国内的竞品叹息，明明是年轻的产品，却继承了这些过时的 feature。偏题大胆预测：当我们越来越少依赖纸张，这个“一张假纸”的 UI 会成为暴露年龄的记忆。

Calmly Writer

只能做一件事的工具

网页版免费, 桌面好像5–8刀

这是一个非常小众的 Chrome-based 插件。官方定义The Ultimate Distraction-Free Writing Tool，使用时连系统menu都被隐去了。我写任何东西都是从这里开始的。云端 back-up 所以不用担心数据丢失。柔和的 dark mode 和老式打字机好听的声音，让我写东西的时候真的好开心。

市面上很多什么学、什么说的，谈到自控力都是从自身找问题，让人很容易选择自暴自弃。专注力确实可以通过训练提高，但是也有很多情况并不是“人”的问题。有些方法论提到改变自己的物理环境，这确实很有用。你完全可以进一步更 mindful 地选择生产力工具。容易操作，有意思，成就感又强。在做 usability testing 时必须告知用户的 It’s not your fault. It’s the design. 这个观点也可以用来 debug 你的生活。

Claquette

完美高清的 gif 是怎么做出来的

$9.99

该花的钱还是要花。羡慕别人作品集上完美的高清 gif 不花点钱怎么能轻易得到呢 ：）录制时注意第一帧和最后一帧一样就可以实现无限循环。

今天就这样，下次我还想分享我关注的博主和播客。你在学什么呢？在评论区和大家一起分享吧～

我被拒绝的理由包括：还是太嫩了、不够独角兽（不写码）、缘分没有到（fit）等种种。最令人心痛的不过是在和 team 愉快得聊了三次，消耗大量元气完成了 Design Challenge 之后悲剧。在我寻求 feedback 时，得到了这样的答复 “You did a great job on the challenge and in the interviews. You are clearly well-qualified. The team came away feeling that you are very precise and deliberate in your approach and also maybe a bit introvertive. Those are not bad things. But…”

就是这些 But，让我陷入无尽的自我怀疑中。还有每一个要求2–3年经验的 Junior JD，让我看不到出头之日。这些委屈和辛酸，你也体会过吧。

在这种持续不断的打击中，两个女科学家拯救了我。宾大的 Angela Duckworth 和斯坦福的 Carol Dweck。这两位心理学家研究的课题分别是 Grit（耐力） 和 Mindset（心态）。

如果只有一个原因，到底是什么原因让某些人最终成功？

为了回答这个问题， Duckworth 去了西点军校、去了美国最贫穷的学区、去了城市中的办公室，想要知道这些士兵、学生、和职员最后谁会成功？为什么？

最终得出的这个 Significant Predictor of Success（能预测成功的因素）不是智商、情商、健康、外貌，而是 Grit（耐力）。

什么是 Grit ？引用Duckworth的原话，

“Grit is passion and perseverance for very long term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years. Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint. ”

才华不会让你拥有耐力。Duckworth的数据显示 Talent 和 Grit 无关或成反比。Dweck的研究显示，一个常常被夸聪明的人，在面对挑战时反而容易退缩。

Passion 是一种 Grit 的来源。在我身上，耐力恰恰源于对我所选择职业的热爱。备受打击还能坚持不屑，证明我没有选错路。

那又是什么给人勇气面对接二连三的失败？

三年的实验以后，Dweck 给出的答案是“Growth Mindset”，一种相信你的能力会变强的心态。进步的方式可以是后天努力、改变策略、和接受指导等等。

所以在求职的过程中，我把进步，作为自己的终极目标。我向所有愿意和我交流的人讨 feedback，学我能学的一切东西。眼看着自己的项目质量有了质的飞跃，从面试磕磕巴巴到对答如流，我目睹了自己成长的轨迹。因此达到目标只是 not yet 而已。

因为知道未来的自己会比现在强得多，所以不需要把现在的自己包装成成功的样子。

因为在这个过程中更加了解自己，所以不需要外在的肯定，就能认同自己的价值。

这就是我在收了200个拒绝之后，找到了自信的原因。找到了自信并非说我拥有了金刚不坏之身。我在遇到拒绝时还是会失望和低落，只不过我不会再陷入自怜自艾的循环，而是能迅速为“我”这个产品的迭代调整状态。用我自身的成长做衡量标准，这个求职季算得上很成功，毕竟进步是我的终极目标。

所以最后想要对还在找工作的伙伴说：我们有相似的经历，希望这篇文章能给你力量。

作为一个设计师，无数次调动自己共情的本能后，我并没有变成一个能多么迅速换位思考的人。反之，我明白了所有不假思索的“我懂你”都源于自大和无知。同理心最终教会我的是谦虚和尊重。

所以虽然我不能完美地体会你的心情，但是我听见了你的焦虑。希望你能把自己的心理健康放在第一位，同时稳稳地做好自己该做的事。你以年为单位的努力不会被几个月的非常抹去。困难会试出你的初心和热爱。你值得的那个offer总有一天会来。

我们都生于忧患。
