The first law of neuroplasticity states that the repeated activation of a presynaptic neuron, one that is sending the signals, and a postsynaptic neuron, one that is receiving the signals, leads to an increase in the efficiency or effectiveness of communication between them.

Effective（有效果的）著重於結果與目標達成，而 efficient（有效率的）則著重於過程與資源利用（省時、省力、省成本）。

Most of the time we are going through life in automatic mode without really thinking, and negative thoughts can arise like they always have, and because those pathways have been strengthened through repetition we go down that well-trodden path...yet again.

大多數時間我們處於自動模式，在日常生活中並未真正用心思考。負面念頭會像以往一樣自動浮現，因為大腦中對應的神經通路經由反覆使用而被強化。結果我們便再次沿著那條熟悉且被踏得很深的思維小徑走下去。

well-trodden: (of a road or path) much used

The first law of neuroplasticity also states that the order and timing of the spikes (neurons communicating) determine the size and magnitude of a connection being strengthened (or weakened).

compassion (for somebody) a strong feeling of sympathy for people or animals who are suffering and a desire to help them
