2023 is my first year of studying.
During the year, my reading and writing went hand in hand.
In a year, 14+ books are read intensively, plus extensive reading, 20 books+ are read in a year. This amount of reading is really not worth mentioning compared to others.
But compared to last year, it is a great improvement. Progress has been slow, but I know enough.
The flowing water does not compete for the first, but the competition is endless.
Taking stock of the books I have read this year, the following three have had a profound impact on me.
1. "Believe"
The book that has had the greatest impact on my life this year is Cai Lei's "Believe".
After reading this book, I unknowingly wrote 19 articles.
I was moved by Cai Lei's spirit and admired his determination and courage to never give in even if he was defeated by sudden illness and bad luck.
Cai Lei is middle-aged, has a successful career, a happy family, and is a winner in life.
But misfortune quietly struck, and he was diagnosed with ALS, the world's number one terminal illness. There is no cure, no cure, and I can only watch my body slowly freeze.
The disease progressed to the point where it required a tracheotomy, a ventilator, and a loss of whole body function, but the brain was extremely awake.
In the face of sudden doom, after a short period of pain and confusion, he was not intimidated by the disease.
He chose to fight against the world's number one terminal illness and fight for 500,000 ALS patients.
As a result, he established the ALS research team, established the world's largest scientific research big data platform for ALS patients, and invested in drug research and development.
This year is the fourth year of Cai Lei's illness, and in order to overcome ALS, he still works 10 hours a day.
What's even more commendable is that his wife Duan Rui gave up her career, stood firmly by Cai Lei's side, never gave up on him, overcame difficulties with him, and joined Cai Lei's scientific research team for ALS.
They are husband and wife in life, and they are comrades-in-arms in icebreaker operations.
Their spirit inspires everyone in need. From their life stories, we can see the power of action, the power of believing.
2. "Cognitive Awakening"
This is a personal growth book.
Zhou Ling, the author of the book, is also a post-80s generation, and he used to be like most people now, going to work every day, and when he got home, he just brushed his mobile phone, watched videos, and lived a bad and bad life.
A life without an aim, with no goal and no direction, drifting slowly along the river of time.
Dealing with trivial daily routines, thinking that this is the truth of life.
In the cognitive awakening, Zhou Ling called such people awake and asleep.
Until, something happened to his friend, and he thought if it happened to him, would I have the power to change anything?
When I think about it, it seems that there is nothing left in my life but the passage of time.
Thus began his journey of self-awakening.
Now he has achieved a self-leap and a breakthrough in life through his cognitive awakening. From his methodology, these thinking perceptions have had a profound impact on me.
1. Growth is the process of overcoming nature
Human nature is lazy and does not like to use their brains, but if you observe the excellent people around you, you will find that they are doing difficult but right things.
They also like to look at their phones and watch videos, but they understand the importance of growing up.
2. In-depth Xi
How long has it been since you have studied Xi deeply? Every day, I swipe my phone, watch videos, and collect a lot of dry content, thinking that I can learn a lot in this way.
As everyone knows, this not only fails to learn knowledge, but also seriously distracts our attention.
Zhou Ling said that if you learn Xi, please study Xi deeply. Only in this way can you truly learn knowledge and use it for your own use.
3. Feedback
Zhou Ling said in the book that no feedback does not Xi. Agreed.
Many times, we try for a long time, but with little success. The method is not right, and the effort is in vain.
Therefore, feedback is an important part of learning Xi, so that we can move forward steadily, not in circles.
3. The Book of Navarre
This is Navarre's book on how to attain wealth and happiness. Navar is a Silicon Valley angel investor, and many of the ideas in the book have boosted my knowledge of wealth.
He said that wealth is an asset that can still make money for us while sleeping, and money is the way we convert time and wealth, and wealth is not equal to money.
If I hadn't read this book, I would never have thought about the difference between wealth and money.
Originally, I thought that if I worked hard, I could get the results I wanted. But the book says that making money has nothing to do with how hard you work.
Especially in the service industry, it is impossible to make a fortune even if you work hard. To gain wealth, one must know what to do, with whom, and when.
More important than hard work is understanding and thinking.
Of course, effort is also very important, and you can't skimp on your efforts, but you must choose the right way.
One way to get wealth is to provide society with what it needs but can't get, and to scale it.
And all the rewards in life, whether it's wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
What strikes me the most is arming myself with expertise, responsibility and leverage.
Expertise is knowledge that cannot be acquired through training. That's the hobby you pursue, and the process of accumulating expertise is strenuous for others, but it's as easy for you as playing. Expertise is often highly technical or creative and cannot be outsourced or automated.
To gain wealth, you must also make the most of leverage.
Previously the levers were capital, labor, now code and media. You can create software and media and make them work for you while you sleep.
After writing for a year, in fact, I also felt the compound interest of self-media, and after 9 days of interruption, the official account is still generating income, which is something I never thought of before.
Write at the end
Kazuo Inamori said, "Your growth and development is not compared with others, but compared with your own yesterday. ”
Reading more than 20 books a year may not seem worth mentioning to others, but it means a lot to me.
The above 3 books are the books that have had the most profound impact on me this year, they have upgraded my thinking and changed my life.
In 2024, I will continue to immerse myself in the days of reading and writing, and I will never tire of it.
If you also like to read and write, you might as well make progress together and walk together all the way! #挑战30天在头条写日记#
