We had a major snowfall here in Virginia in January, and Scott took this photo about one week later. Look carefully. Notice the LEFT side still has lots of snow left, but on the RIGHT side it is almost all melted. Why? How do you explain such a big difference on two sides of the same street, only a few meters away from each other? Obviously, the weather was the same on both sides of the street.
The answer is PROXIMITY and DIRECTION. PROXIMITY is how close you are to something. DIRECTION is the way you are facing. In this case, the yards on the left side of the road face east, and the morning sun is weaker. Plus, the houses on the left block the afternoon sun. On the other hand, the yards on the right side of the road slope to the south and west, so the midday and afternoon sun melt the snow much faster.
There is a life lesson here. To get to where you want to go, you need to put yourself in the RIGHT PLACE with the RIGHT PEOPLE who can give you the support you need to make your dreams come true. In psychology this is called the “proximity principle.”
This is how DreyerCoaching can help you. With our team of US-based teachers, we give you proximity to real English and life in America, not canned lessons in a book or recordings.
Take the first step in the DIRECTION of closer PROXIMITY. Contact Scott today to find out how.
今年的一 月份，我们弗吉尼亚州下了一场大雪，大约一周后，斯科特老师拍了这张照片。仔细地看。请注意，左侧仍有大量积雪，但右侧几乎全部融化。为什么？您如何解释同一条街道的两侧，相距仅几米，差异如此之大？显然，街道两边的天气是一样的。
答案是近接和方向。近接度是您与某物的距离。方向是你面对的方式。在这种情况下，道路左侧的院子朝东，早晨的阳光较弱。另外，左边的房子挡住了午后的阳光。另一方面，道路右侧的院子向南和向西倾斜，因此正午和下午的太阳融化雪的速度要快得多。
这里有一堂人生的课程。要到达您想去的地方，您需要将自己放在正确的地方，与合适的人一起为您提供实现梦想所需的支持。在心理学中，这被称为“近接原则”。
这就是 DreyerCoaching 可以帮助您的方式。通过我们的美国教师团队，我们让您接近真正的英语和体验美国生活，而不是书本或录音中的死板罐头课程。
