A

Just 25 years ago，the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher，banker and doctor.Now，they want to be sports star，pop star and actor，according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper.

Rachel，a character in the popular TV show Glee，may be said to speak for British teenagers.“Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.”he said.

Emma Brockes，a reporter with the Guardian，believes it is“the bad influence of celebrity(名人)culture”that is to blame.“When children wanted to be doctor，it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now；you go where the respect is.”she wrote.

It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression.Dr Carlo Strenger，of Tel Aviv University，studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance：Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century.He told the Daily Mail that young people now are“affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷)．”

“As humans，we naturally measure ourselves to those around us，but now we live in a global village.We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important' people in the world and finding ourselves wanting，”he said.Today，even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.

The way out？Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called“active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life”．

“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement，”he said.

At 4：53 p．m on January 12，United Nations aid worker Jens Kristensen was at his desk reading documents on the third floor of the Christopher Hotel，which served as UN head-quarters in Port-au-Prince，when he felt a tremor. Four seconds later，the earthquake hit.

“In a split second，I considered whether to run for the door or hide under my desk，”says Kristensen,48.“The door was closed，and I thought that maybe it was too far and I would be caught under falling debris，so I hid under the table.”A bookshelf toppled onto his desk，protecting him from being crushed by rubble and trapping him in a tiny pocket.“I was confined as if in a small coffin，” he says.It was so dark，and it didn't matter if his eyes were open or closed.He used the light from his mobile phone to see around him.He found，among other items，a jar of instant coffee.“I had no food or water，only the coffee to suck on if I needed it.”

At about 6：30 a．m on January 17，an oil leak silenced the building's generators，and Kristensen was able to hear muffled voices above where he was buried.“I thought，I was too tired to bang and shout.But then I realised，I had to take every chance.This could be one.”So he called out.Six hours later，Kristensen saw his rescuers' faces.“It was so amazing.I felt I had received a second birthday，”he recalls.

Dehydration and pains but with only a bruise and a scratch，Kristensen took three days to recover.The UN lost more than 90 people in Haiti.But Kristensen says that the outpouring of love helps heal the pain：“The genuine ha
