Abstract

With the arrival of the information society and the network era, different people are often labeled with different “labels” because of their special nature and characteristics. “Active loser” is one of them. Active losers refers to those who love setting and updating goals but always defers action, give up or change the goal with various excuses and reasons, whose execution ability never matches their high expectations. Such kinds of people are especially common among contemporary college students. Starting from this label with the characteristics of times, this paper traces the background where the problems arise and develop, dissects the “active loser” phenomenon from the subjective and objective perspective and take the subjective demands and motivation awakening as the key factors, in addition to the analysis of the expectation and the execution ability so as to analyze and think about this phenomenon and this kind of people from the perspective of “self-healing” and “self-ignition”.
