Share a good book "Minimalism"
The values in the book can definitely lead us
"Minimalism" is a great book I read recently. Through reading this book, I found that it contains all the values I recognize. I am now 24 years old and in debt. For various reasons, I always I am intellectually aware that I must get out of this state, but emotionally, I can’t "chop my hands" when I see the goods I want to add. Because I work in first-tier cities, my background family has no house, no car, and even more irrelevantly, I have a job I’ve been looking for, and I have experienced various things: the boss is in arrears of wages, the baby is born, the younger sister, the classmates get married, the parents are sick And so on. Meals and rents a house every month, and sometimes I have to reward myself with some clothes, food and drink. So after all, we are in the evil cycle of debt. Therefore, after reading the book "Minimalism", I was determined to make changes, and because of the successful transfer, I took the opportunity to adjust my lifestyle.
And I believe that there are many girls and boys like me who unknowingly suffer from Huabai, Baitiao, borrowing, and even credit cards. In the same way, I also know that some people who are smart and intelligent and have good self-control have already begun to invest in wealth management, and even have begun to observe the market economy to buy appreciation stocks. Seeing the two sides of my own life and comparing it with others, I decided: I must move towards a minimalist life, from then on to keep accounts, clean up the things in the dormitory, and throw away many books and clothes that I was not willing to throw away. When buying things in the future, I will think twice about whether it is urgently needed. Because of this book, I know the changes, and I want to summarize and share with more friends.
My change steps:
1. Let yourself live out of debt
2. Pursue a minimalist lifestyle, don’t impulsively buy some garbage
that you don’t use often 3. Spend less than earning money, so that you have the opportunity to move towards financial freedom
4. Will “do it” Change to "must do" This is a change of attitude and determination.
5. Develop the habit of "no internet", "must open the book" and "stick to exercise" in life
6. Strive for more while ensuring that you are proficient at work Learn testing tools and start looking for breakthroughs and directions for improvement.
Habits I developed in my life through minimalism:
Regarding health
1. Insist on not drinking cold drinks and not eating street food.
2, insist on going to bed before 11 o'clock, no more than 12 o'clock at the latest.
3. Eat breakfast every day and exercise for half an hour every day (yoga and walking).
About consumption
4. Bookkeeping. Keep every penny spent on the account, know where it is spent, and gradually develop a clear and clear bill.
5. Weigh and consider the purchases. When you want to buy, buy, hold back and think about it for a few days, is it a must? Will you use it often after you buy it? When the answer is no, decisively do not buy.
6. Minimize the cost of snacks. When buying vegetables for cooking, the amount of vegetables should be moderate or even small, so as to keep eating and not wasting.
Regarding income
1. Because some debts were left before, so when guaranteeing food and accommodation, the debts should be wiped out one by one.
2. Learn to budget, strive for financial management, and invest on the basis of financial management.
Regarding interpersonal relationship
friendship, family affection, love
1. My classmates and friends are different from me in many points of view, but because of our friendship and destiny, although we are not in a unified mind, I think that only I can make changes and show them with practical actions. They see, they will see my changes, and then I will convince them.
2. Relatives, I insist on influencing my family members and tell them to treat insurance and financial management correctly.
3. My partner, because he keeps moving forward, I am following him to make progress. As long as we can have differences, everyone can take the initiative and all our contradictions can be resolved. This is what we have always believed in.
The inspiration from the five aspects of minimalism:
Warm / Health / Relationships / Personal Growth / dedication to others
for more than five areas, the book author's conclusion is:
① "minimalist so I can focus on the important things in life, focus on my relationships, improve my Physical condition, pursuing my hobbies, achieving personal growth, and contributing to others in a meaningful way"
②"Minimalism is suitable for anyone... Once you start to change yourself, others will often follow suit. So, start with yourself. "
No matter how you want now, you should immediately do: to adjust our lives had truly meaningful life.
This book directly affects my value orientation in life. I am a member of the Communist Party of China and have the integrity and sense of justice that a party member deserves. I don't know what benefits this identity will bring me, but whether it is in school or out of society, I can feel that everyone is willing to contact or accept me because of this label. But I know why I wanted to join the party, because the seniors and classmates who joined the party are very good, they are good and representative in all aspects, and influence and lead others. In the same way, the values of "Minimalism" are the same. After guaranteeing continuous improvement in learning, health, and pursuit, we will continue to improve our lives through interpersonal relationships, and finally be a better self in dedication to others.
So I use this as a code of conduct, and hope that through sharing, more friends can practice with me, benefit myself, and have fun with more people.
