問題詳情

請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題:        Picture the scene: you’ve spent years working towards a specific goal. You’ve put in countless hours of work andmade many sacrifices, but now you’ve got there and it’s not how you imagined. Instead of celebration, elation and pride,you feel emptiness, confusion and doubt.
       Welcome to the anti-climax. The often-experienced but seldom-discussed downside of achieving life’s biggestmilestones. Many of us work tirelessly towards our goals. We may spend our lives dreaming of the day we get married,publish our first book or purchase our first home. However, often, when we achieve these things, it doesn’t feel quite asexpected. In fact, the achievement of these goals feels a bit of a letdown.
       So why do we often experience an anti-climax when achieving big goals? “An anti-climax can be an unexpectedby-product of a milestone achievement,” says psychotherapist Rachel Vora. “Usually, the more significant the milestone,the greater the anti-climax may be. The journey to achieving a milestone can be exciting and all-consuming in additionto giving us a robust sense of purpose and focus. Therefore, when this disappears overnight, we can often feel lost andconfused, despite feeling proud of our achievement.”
       When this happens, it can prompt a cocktail of complicated emotions. The intensity of an anti-climax depends onour preconceived ideas and expectations of what this achievement means. Falsely believing that we’ll feel drasticallydifferent afterwards or that our feelings of low self-worth will disappear, is rarely the case.
