心理学中曾经做过一个实验,给两组大学生看同一个人的同一张照片。在看这张照片之前,对一组大学生说,照片上的人是一位屡教不改的罪犯;对另一组大学生说,照片上的人是一位著名的学者。然后,让这两组大学生分别从这个人的外貌来说明他的性格特征。结果两组大学生的解释截然不同。第一组大学生说,深沉的目光里隐藏着险恶,突出的下巴表明他死不悔改的决心。第二组大学生说,深沉的目光表明他思想的深刻性,突出的下巴表明了他在科学道路上勇于攀登的坚强意志。 这一实验说明了什么问题,我们在管理活动中应当怎么办

The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务), self improvement. Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’’t know any parent who would choose the word "fun" to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. Raising children, in the author’s opinion, is ______.
A. a moral duty
B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task
D. a source of inevitable pain
