In the past, it was believed
that depression was more prevalent among the poorer and less
educated people, but that is not the case. The truth is, depression
can afflict people from all walks of life, and often it hits the
most ambitious, creative and conscientious. It is fallacious to
think that people on the corporate rung of the social ladder are
not prone(易于…) to this
malady(疾病). In fact, executives and
professionals who are burdened with mounting pressures in their
work may succumb to all these pressures and become depressed. The
suicide of Vincent Foster, Jr, anoted American lawyer and White
House official is a case in point. Despite the glamour of his
position, which many people thought enviable, he felt overburdened
with pressures and decided to take the easy way out.
Studies show that people born
later in this century have experienced much moredepression than those born earlier. In fact the rate of
depression over the last two generations has increased tenfold.
Experts theorize that it could be due to the fact that the younger
generations have higher expectations from life and are therefore
more likely to suffer from failure, disappointment and hence,
depression.
Depression is easily recognisable. The
depressed person feels sad or down in the dumps, and loses interest
in even the most pleasurable activities. Moreover, he suffers from
either significant gain or loss of weight, sleeplessness or
over sleeping, sluggish movement and
thinking, fatigue, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, impaired
concentration and forgetfulness, and in extreme cases, the
afflicted person may have suicidal tendencies. It is often believed
that depression runs in the family, but
this is not conclusively so, since there are cases where depressed
persons do not have a history of depression in their families.
Depression is often workrelated although
at times it has its roots in family relations.
People who suffer from depression need not stay
in the closet, since it is not a sin or a
shame to be depressed. A prompt visit to a psychologist means
prompt treatment and hence prompt
recovery. Experts guarantee that depression is easily treatable,
and in nip in the bud cases, the patient fully
recovers in a few days, thanks to the
variety of effective treatment available.

in family relations.

Is there a “success
personality”—some winning combination
of qualities that leads almost
inevitably to achievement? If
so, exactly what is that
secret success formula, and can
anyone develop it?
At the Gallop Organization we
recently focused in depth on
success, probing the attitudes
of 1500 prominent people
selected at random from who’s
who in America. Our research
finds out a number of
qualities that occur regularly
among top achievers. Here is
one of the most important,
that is common sense.
Common sense is the most
prevailing quality possessed by
our respondents. Seventy-nine percent
award themselves a top score
in this quality. And 61
percent say that common sense
was very important in
contributing to their success.
To most, common sense means
the ability to present sound,
practical judgments on everyday
affairs. To do this, one
has to sweep aside extra
ideas and get right to
the core of what matters.
A Texas oil and gas
businessman puts it this way:
“The key ability for success
is simplifying. In conduction of
meeting and dealing with
industry reducing a complex
problem to the simplest term
is highly important.”
Is common sense a quality a
person is born with, or
can
