Actually, before this, I have read a lot of inspirational books. Maybe everyone will feel touched when they first read this kind of book, but after a long time, they will develop anesthesia and disgust, just like drinking chicken soup. Although chicken soup is delicious and nutritious, it will also make you feel greasy and vomit if you drink too much. And I am the same, but after reading this book for a few or two, I didn’t want to let go, because in the author, I saw too many shadows of myself, just like I was having a conversation with myself that traveled through time and space a few years later, and ripples appeared in my heart.
As the author of this book, although Jian Qian has already entered society, the book she wrote is actually his memory of his college years. In the book, Jian Qian confessed to his mediocre work in college, and also affirmed his hard work in life in the future. In my opinion, it is more about the inspiration and feelings brought to me by Jian Qian's experience through his own experience.
The book is divided into seven chapters in total, but I think the first chapter is most in line with my current situation. "Don't let you look down on yourself 5 years later" is the theme of the first chapter. Now I have entered university for a year. In this year, I have grown a lot. Not only have I learned knowledge, but I have also gradually seen the essence of university life - self-discipline, self-study, self-confidence, and self-improvement. Entering university means that I have already entered the gate of society. I began to feel a little panicked, confused, and unable to see clearly. But the glory is that Jian Qian told me that I should calm down. To succeed, you must find your own direction. When you cheat in life, you mostly experience days that are more desperate than death.
First year for a while, I was very annoyed and I felt that I didn't seem to be sociable. Everyone in the dormitory was playing games, and all the topics were also centered around the game, so I could only listen quietly from the side. During class, I sat alone in the first row, and everyone was scrambling to sit back, as if the safer the further back. When I got up early in the morning, I originally wanted to run with my roommate, but my roommates got angry more and more. I had to shuttle through the campus in the morning alone, and Jian Qian was the same. When he was in his senior year, he couldn't stand the bad environment in the dormitory. After getting his first royalties, he moved out without hesitation. People who are not sociable are not always people who are difficult to get along with. "Your clothes, your hairstyle, your dress, and your hobbies should be chosen by yourself, and should not be formulated by the so-called rules or sociable people. Rules are used to protect beautiful things, not to confine personality. People who are not sociable are never monsters." This is what Jianqian wrote in the last section of Chapter 1. Now I will share with you who are "unsociable".
I wonder if you are in college now, do you understand the real purpose of going to college? If the answer is no or hesitant, then I hope you can read Jian Qian's book and understand what "7 things you must do before the age of 25" is.
Now I have gradually developed the habit of reading and taking notes. Among them, these 7 things must be done in my accumulation: the first is to have a hobby that I will like for the rest of my life. There are many ways of living in a person's life, and each one has its own beauty. Maybe it may not necessarily bring you fame and fortune, but it can definitely make you laugh happily and cry happily when you are exhausted; the second thing is to have a job that is enough to support you. After 25 years old, we can't run into our parents' arms and cry and make a fuss. On the contrary, we should take care of them. We can be willful in our lives, but the premise is that we must have willful capital and a job that is enough to support ourselves. The third thing is to read a good book. We must learn to ignore the "useless theory of reading". Reading has never made us successful, but taught us how to live a more relaxed life. I will leave it to you, my dear, to read it. I believe you are already full of curiosity. I hope you can also be like me when you open this book, and you feel like you wish you had met too late.
May you cherish the limited time now and set sail under the guidance of your dreams. No matter how many failures and setbacks you experience, you must look forward to it and persevere, because when your dreams come true, they will be more beautiful and brilliant than you think.
