Key words：語(yǔ)言
Abstract：TED演講者John Koenig先生花了七年時(shí)間編撰了一本字典，名為《晦澀情感詞語(yǔ)字典》。他欣喜看到自己創(chuàng)造的詞語(yǔ)得到越來(lái)越多人的認(rèn)可與使用，這猶如讓他感受到了如史蒂夫·喬布斯改變世界般的喜悅與滿(mǎn)足。 他認(rèn)為語(yǔ)言是打開(kāi)他人心房的鑰匙， 而我們很多人被自己慣用的詞語(yǔ)所限制，卻忘記了這些詞不過(guò)是他人創(chuàng)造的，所有詞都是如此。
Content：
John Koenig spent 7 years establishing a dictionary called The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows whose mission was to
- find holes in the language of emotion and try to fill them
- so that we have a way of talking about all those human peccadilloes and quirks of the human condition
what makes a word real?
the use of it
The meaning is not in the words themselves. We're the ones that pour ourselves into it.
And I think if you're looking for the meaning of something, the dictionary is a decent place to start. It brings a sense of order to a very chaotic universe. Our view of things is so limited that we have to come up with patterns and shorthands and try to figure out a way to interpret it and be able to get on with our day. We need words to contain us, to define ourselves. --- John Koenig
Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it is still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble. ---Bill Watterson
Comment：
語(yǔ)言塑造著我們的世界觀，我們看待事物的能力也被詞語(yǔ)所限制，要像發(fā)明新詞一樣，創(chuàng)造自己的人生，去發(fā)現(xiàn)，去探索，去創(chuàng)造，去表達(dá)。
Invent your own life's meaning like invent a new word.
