Keep reading, and then form your own knowledge system.
2023.07. Read

After reading Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" , I originally planned to read "When the Human Stars Shine". I tried to read it, but I was a little too tired, so I read another book "Cognition Drive" by Zhou Ling . This book is a little lighter and easier to understand, and I just finished reading "Cognitive Awakening" by Zhou Ling before , so I just matched the two.

At the same time, I saw a book review in "The Moon and Sixpence" , saying: It takes time to meet a book. Therefore, now should not be the best time to read "When the Human Stars Shine".

In addition, I felt that this sentence was very good, so I searched and expanded it from the Internet, and found this complete passage: The encounter with a book is a kind of fate, and it is a person looking for a book or a book looking for a person. We met each other neither sooner nor later, and we couldn't understand each other if we were too early, and we missed the best time when we were too late, so we don't need it anymore. In the state of need, it is easier for people to communicate with books. And the moment of communication is the moment of moving.

The last point, if you continue to read the classics, it will be too tiring. Is it possible to try to read a classic, and then read a popular one, in such an alternating way? Go ahead and try it out and see how it works.

Preface Why we work so hard but always fail to see hope

I asked: what output do you have?


This is an era of pursuit of learning, but also an era of anxiety.

Everyone knows that "knowledge is power", and the difference between you and others lies in whether this power can be used for yourself. In this era of information explosion, people are enthusiastically chasing the acquisition of knowledge and regard acquiring knowledge as the end point, but they do not know that the subsequent knowledge management and practice are the key to maximizing the benefits of knowledge.

  • Introverted growth, that is, growth activities that revolve around oneself, such as early childhood, running, reading, etc.
  • Outward growth, that is, growth activities around the outside world, such as writing, drawing, programming, etc.
    For a better understanding, we might as well think of inward growth as building habits and outward growth as building skills. After switching to this statement, you may immediately understand the crux of the problem: we focus too much on inward growth and neglect outward growth, that is, we emphasize habits over skills, and input over output.

Differences in life often stem from people's different perspectives on life.

When watching the video, I saw a title: Buffett: The secret of success in life is misplaced competition and dimensionality reduction . I don’t know if it’s what the old man said, but in my personal perception, I agree with this point of view.
