As early as when Luo Ji was thinking, she heard Teacher Luo Zhenyu recommend Diligence. I bought it because of inertia. Because this time I made up my mind to cure "lazy cancer" before the end of 20 17, I started reading immediately after I got it. Every time I read something wonderful, I feel sorry for meeting you late.
After reading it in one breath today, I'll make a "resumption".
When I closed the book, I was deeply impressed by the following points:
First, establish a balanced view of time.
To balance the concept of time, we should not only understand the free switching between "fast" and "slow", but also learn the mutual balance between "deep" and "shallow".
The author uses a symphony without adagio to describe the fast-paced life in which modern people confuse work and life, which makes people breathless and anxious. In order to explain the necessity of adopting different time views in work and life situations advocated by the concept of balanced time.
In addition, an aesthetician Mr. Zhu Guangqian was quoted as saying: "Learning and doing business can only be regarded as the second thing in life." Life first is life. When I say "alive", I mean "enjoying", "appreciating" and "cultivating vitality" If you forget life for study and career, that kind of study and career will lose the true meaning and value of life. "Tell us once again that even in today's rapid development, we should not blindly compete with time, but learn to grasp the rhythm of life and know how to work and live quickly and relaxed.
In addition to mastering the free switching between "fast" and "slow" time, the author also puts forward another novel view of time: "deep" and "shallow" time. Which is the depth of time. Another concept "flow" mentioned here is a state achieved by improving the depth of time use, which means that people are completely involved in one thing. When careful flow occurs, people will be distracted and even forget their own existence and the passage of time. In this process, people will get great satisfaction.
Therefore, when you relax by reading or doing some other meaningful hobbies, you will get more satisfaction than staying at home and chasing plays or playing games with friends. This is because the leisure quality of the former is higher and the depth of time use is better improved.
Second, make correctable choices.
We often hear the saying: "Even if a choice can't change your life, it is enough to make a major turning point in your life at a certain stage." This shows the importance of choice. However, if you make an unwise choice when your mind is not mature and rational, is there really no way to reverse it? The answer is no, life is a process of continuous selection and re-selection. From the perspective of the whole life, even if you make an imperfect choice, you may still have a chance to make a new choice many years later, and this new choice may subvert your original key choice, so that your life will move in a new direction or sail back to the previous channel. This just shows that choice can be modified and reshaped. Single choice is very important, but it is far less important than we thought. So, even if you make a wrong choice for something, you don't have to regret it, because you still have a chance to make another choice.
Third, seize the best opportunity "now".
Some "serious procrastinators" often say "get ready and wait for the right time" when doing something that needs immediate action, but they delay taking action. But when you ask him "when will it be ready" and "when is the best time?" "The best time has come. How do you recognize it and seize it?" But he couldn't answer at all. As we all know, for most people and most things, "now" is the best time. Instead of waiting for these illusory "opportunities", it is better to act immediately, learn by doing and pay attention to new opportunities. Therefore, instead of thinking about writing and publishing articles when the style of writing is improving, it is better to immediately pick up a pen and start thinking about action and improve it in practice.
Fourth, decode the deep learning method.
The difference between ordinary learners and high-level learners is that the latter consciously decodes and expands information knowledge in depth. Just like some people just read a little, don't ask for understanding, and forget after reading it; The master is good at decoding, creating the connection between old and new knowledge, and building his own knowledge system, which is really used by me.
Fifth, it is not just matter that "breaks away".
A few years ago, the Japanese writer Eiko Yamashita advocated "breaking up" among young people, which made some people get rid of the "hoarding addiction" and bid farewell to "buying from buy buy", which really simplified and improved the quality of life. However, in the face of the Internet age of information explosion, many people have once again formed a spiritual "hoarding addiction". There are all kinds of apps in the mobile phone, and less than two or three are commonly used; Wechat has paid attention to hundreds of official WeChat accounts, and only a few have seen them; I have collected countless "good articles", but I have never read them again; Until the memory of the mobile phone is completely emptied, it will start to empty and uninstall one by one. Therefore, it is very important to know how to collect and filter information. Simplifying these things that interfere with our thinking and fill our memories can make our brains free up more space, process more valuable information and think more clearly.
Sixth, design a "step-by-step difficulty challenge".
We all know the story of "boiled frog in warm water". Everyone is lazy and likes to stay in a comfortable "safety zone", so over time, they become mediocre people. We often hear the view that "adversity produces talents", which shows that human potential can be fully stimulated in adversity. Stimulation often depends on some external stimuli, which can be some setbacks, failures or difficult challenges. It can be seen that challenges and talents need to go hand in hand, so it is very necessary for people to set some difficult challenges for themselves if they want to improve their talents. It is best to have a "step by step" challenge with the continuous improvement of their ability level.
Many ideas in this book give people a refreshing feeling, and the author interprets them from different angles. At the same time, many suggestions and strategies are given, which are worth pondering and rereading.
