I plan to review and summarize my monthly reading gains starting this month. There are several reasons why I want to record my learning gains:
The first point is to record the changes in my own growth.
Because the text you wrote is imprinted with time, when you read it back, it feels like you are talking to yourself in another time and space.
You will be surprised that the view that I am used to now is so inspiring in my opinion at that time. This may be the value to growth records.
Many articles on dry goods can withstand the test of time, making it very practical. However, this kind of article that purely records your growth will make you feel the warmth of the text more.
The second point is to regularly sort out your own reading content.
Now I will sort out the books I have read in Evernote every month. The content sorted out by
also mainly includes two major aspects. One is to sort out the essence content learned this month, and the other is to sort out the list of actions you need to take for the essence knowledge.
Such a combing makes my brain feel very refreshed, and at the same time makes me feel the growth every month, and the feeling of picking up gold into my pocket.
1. How many books have you read this month?
In this month, I have a very big change in reading in , which is to completely slow down my reading speed.
Especially for some very good books, I will no longer blindly pursue the speed of reading, but will firmly improve the depth of my thinking.
Although, the idea of reading to "slow down" is not the first day.
But it is only this month that I really restrained the satisfaction of constantly absorbing knowledge and let myself really slow down and truly think deeply about every piece of knowledge in the book.
so, this also made me realize one more thing, is "you know" to "you really do it", there is a period of time span between them. When your time span becomes shorter and shorter, it means that you are getting better and better.
That month, I read a total of three books, namely: "Cognitive Driven", "Biography of Zeng Guofan", "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy".
Among them, "Cognitive Driven" and "Biography of Zeng Guofan" are the second time to read, but this time reading is a method of in-depth reading.
"Good Strategy, Bad Strategy" has not been finished, and is in a state of absorbing it while reading it. I am still very touched by some of the knowledge in the book.
2. What content has been gained this month?
Although I have not read many books this month, I have gained a lot of content from it, and I have gained a total of 24 valuable content.
001 Don’t just work hard
Sometimes we always feel that we have worked hard, but the results we expect still have not appeared. At this time, you can ask yourself how much value you have to the outside world?
Most of the time, our efforts are in place, such as reading books by ourselves, learning painting by ourselves, etc. However, we rarely have external value output, such as how many valuable articles you have written to the outside world, how many people have taught you to successfully learn to draw, etc.
so, don’t always work hard internally and ignore external value output.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
002 Do more things that can be copied
We need to do more things that are close to zero in marginal costs, such as writing articles, publishing books, making an original song, etc. You only need to pay once to get rewards for these things.
If you do more of this kind of things and do this kind of things carefully, then your time utilization rate can be greatly improved.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
003 We need to create more value
We need to create more value. In the process of creating value, not only can you experience the joy of creation, but most importantly, the value you create, and it can also better bring convenience to others.
For example, you carefully arrange your own fitness courses to allow students to live a better healthy life; for example, you carefully develop a writing course to help more people write from scratch, etc.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
004 We must have an altruistic heart
I now think altruistic heart can really be regarded as a underlying thinking, because it is very useful at many levels.
For example, if you have an altruistic heart, you will think about how to help your customers choose a good house; if you have an altruistic heart, you will think about how to better express this point of view so that the other party can better understand what I mean, etc.
When you have enough altruistic intentions, you will eventually benefit yourself. But it is not possible to truly achieve altruism overnight, because when each of us does things, we will consider ourselves at the beginning.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
005 A better suggestion is not persuasion, but affecting
When we give suggestions to others, we always say that ××× is very good, you must do this. But what is more useful than persuasion is to influence him.
For example, if you advise people to study well, but you don’t even study by yourself, then how can you be persuasive when you persuade others?
When others really see you getting better and better because of studying, they may not use you to persuade them, and they will start to act.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
006 A better relationship is not based on giving, but on attracting
blindly to pay, but instead of being cherished. It is better to be yourself and make yourself better and better. In this way, when you are doing your best, you will naturally welcome the people who like you.
For example, if you have reliable characteristics, then more people will be willing to become friends with you; for example, if your small shop has very delicious specialty food, then naturally there will be many people who are willing to come to your small shop to consume, etc.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
007 Passive socialization, let the works speak for you
Not everyone in the world is good at socializing. So if you are a person who is not very good at socializing, what can you do?
is a work that you can show off. For example, music works with high popularity, pleasing paintings, text works with strong practical value, etc.
When you have these outstanding works, there will naturally be people who are willing to be friends with you because they see your value. This actually confirms the previous one, that is, to have a better relationship, not by giving, but by attracting.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
008 Language will shape our thinking
Language will shape our thinking, so we must learn to speak well. When you want to change yourself, you can try to improve your language first.
For example, when you are sad and upset because of your failure, you still cheer yourself up and tell yourself that you can definitely do it next time.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
009 Why are we always unhappy
because our brains have negative preferences. This negative preference is actually to us realize the existence of danger and allow us to survive better. Therefore, we are always prone to anxiety, stress, unhappiness, etc.
How can we hedge against these negative preferences of ? It is to consciously write a success diary and write down 3 small things you have done every day.
For example: I successfully read the book for half an hour, I successfully completed the task assigned by my boss today, and learned a new dish today, etc.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
010 Why do we need to learn to write down
We must make ourselves have the habit of writing. This kind of writing habit will gradually gain metacognitive ability. In this way, we can regulate our emotions and heal ourselves through writing; or we can think deeply about problems, sort out our thoughts, etc.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
011 How to make yourself better?
requires two conditions, one is a strong desire and the other is a scientific method, neither is missing. When you have not become better, you must also learn to find the reasons here.
For example, if you think about whether you are only in three minutes of popularity when you are doing things; or when you are doing things, you only know how to use brute force, but don’t know how to use some scientific methods to help yourself change, etc.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
012 We must know how to reduce our expectations
We always like various quick methods and hope that we can get better immediately, but any changes in things require substantial accumulation.
So when you do things seriously, you must learn to lower your expectations for yourself and focus on the process of doing things.
At the same time, we must also learn to reduce our expectations for others. Because we cannot control whether others do well or not.
so when you have expectations for others, it is basically equivalent to doing something uncontrollable. This approach is actually a bit unwise.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
013 We must learn to use the power of the environment to change ourselves
As the saying goes, "Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black." When you want to change yourself, you must learn to get close to those excellent people. Make yourself willing to make changes because you see these beauty.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
014 Don't make plans to move yourself at the beginning of the year
We like to set up various flags at the beginning of the year. However, in the end, I found that I had many plans but had not completed them. Why is this?
Because we don’t think clearly about one problem in our daily life, that is, what we really want. Moreover, I did not concentrate all my efforts to solve my most important problem.
If you are already very clear about your core goals in normal times, then at the beginning of the year, making plans is a matter of taking advantage of you.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
015 A good life is always on the edge of the comfort zone
If we always live in the comfort zone, then we are most likely not to make any progress. However, if we live in a very difficult non-comfort zone, we can easily lose our fighting spirit.
so, the best way to grow is to let yourself live on the edge of your comfort zone all the time. For example, when you make your own plan, set a goal that you can reach by tiptoeing, which will be better.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
016 Use the power of cognition to drive yourself to change
When we want to change, we will use the power of willpower to encourage ourselves to change. But what is the best way to change it? It is to use your own cognition to change.
When you have the principle behind a thing, it will be relatively easier when you change it.
For example, if you know the scientific method of habit development, then you will use this method to help develop some good habits, such as reading, exercise, etc.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
017 How to relieve anxiety
In our lives, anxiety is inevitable. What can we do when we feel anxious? It’s just to look at the problem in a long-term dimension.
When you focus on your perspective for five years, ten years, or even a hundred years later, the current anxiety problems you may suddenly feel relieved.
(Reading gains come from "Cognitive Driven")
018 Repeat old things and can only get old results
If we always fail in one thing, then we need to look back and see if we are doing things in the same way.
If you have been repeating this method but have never got the effect you want, it means that your current method needs to be adjusted.
is like Zeng Guofan He no longer memorized rotely. After re-adjusting the method, he successfully passed the scholar entrance exam.
(Reading gains come from "Biography of Zeng Guofan")
019 When facing failure, we must learn to reflect on
Many of us will be lost and decadent when facing failure, and so do I.
But we can learn about Zeng Guofan. When facing failure, we must learn to reflect and find problems from past failures, so that we may succeed next time.
(Reading gains come from "Biography of Zeng Guofan")
020 We must know how to put in a hard time
If you are ordinary but want to achieve some results, you must work harder than others.
When you work hard in the right direction and the right method, you will have more competitiveness than others, and sooner or later you will usher in the expected results.
(Reading gains come from "Biography of Zeng Guofan")
021 When facing setbacks, we must become more courageous as we setbacks
setbacks are inevitable in life. Setbacks are not scary. What is scary is our relatively decadent attitude when facing setbacks.
We must be like Zeng Guofan, so that we can have the spirit of becoming more and more courageous when facing setbacks.
(Reading gains come from "Biography of Zeng Guofan")
022 Let go of the past, and the future can be rewritten
Many of us will easily be entangled in the past and cannot get out of it. But I forgot to focus on the present and the future.
We should pay attention to one thing, that is, the past cannot be rewritten, but the future can be done as long as you can pay attention to the present and work hard.
(Reading from "Biography of Zeng Guofan")
022 Threshold effect
Why do we work so hard but still fail to get the results we want? Then you can see if the amount of effort you have not worked hard enough.
For example, you only wrote one article, but you are complaining about why no one reads the article you wrote? For example, why did I read a book but it has not changed yet?
threshold effect is to tell you that if something has the possibility of nonlinear development, then you will concentrate your efforts to break through the threshold value , and then things will naturally undergo qualitative changes. For example, the water will open when it reaches 100 degrees.
(Reading gains come from "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy")
023 How to make choices and plan?
When we make choices or planning, we sometimes easily follow our own feelings, or sometimes how to choose the fundamental way and how to plan? What should I do at this time?
We should collect enough information, enough options, and based on these contents, make reasonable and well-founded plans and choices, so that you will not be confused and at a loss.
(Reading gains come from "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy")
024 How to exert leverage effect
We all know that leverage effect has great power. As long as we leverage a key element, things may develop rapidly. So, personally, how do we find that key element in the leverage effect?
The first method is to look at the requirements, especially some subdivided needs, and find opportunities from some subdivided needs.
The second type is to find your own core competitiveness, which others cannot catch up with, so you will have the possibility of leveraging many resources.
(Reading gains come from "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy")
Summary
unknowingly wrote more than 4,000 words, and some of the gains in the books were not written into them. For example, there are some very important theories in it, but I already know them before, such as the NLP logic hierarchy theory, etc.
After writing these, I still feel very accomplished. These senses of accomplishment come from the great gains of one's own cognition.
However, I also know that improving cognition is only one aspect. If you want to make a great change, you will ultimately rely on execution.
May we study, grow up, and become a better selves along the way. Come on!
