25、horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to imagine: he is living in it. On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to become
26、 the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand, through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne. Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who tra
27、veled all over Europe and Asia with his parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3,500kms north of Melbourne, where they built a small house with no electricity or running water.
28、 Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors to its fullest. At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began to dream about sailing around the world. Jesses family played an important role. “I was made to believe I could do anything, a

34、eat interest contributes to success. DHow many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?Although you might be embarrassed（尴尬的） to admit how many times you do this, dont worry. Psychological findings have shown its
35、 completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more.According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈回路) in th
36、e teens brains were particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on a social network.

Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radiant said people wh

Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to suc
39、h longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-respect but on something larger than their self, such as what
40、 they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing（追赶，追求） self-respect,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.
