Recommend a very nutritious article for speed reading "Guide to Survival Beyond Soft Skills Code" .

I prefer physical books, so I simply bought a copy of "Soft Skills: A Guide to Survival Beyond Code" and read it through. The notes are estimated to be 2-3k words, which is a bit long, so I only cut a part here.

To summarize it briefly:

Profession

• Career Planning Formulate big goals, and then split small goals
  • If you are not motivated to the goal, then link the goal with money, you will never be uninterested in money, such as: big goal: within five years, I will achieve an annual salary of 40w, and then split the small goals
• Interpersonal communication is very important, change the idea that you just want to write code well
• Improving influence and seeking internal referrals can help us pass interviews better

financial management

• salary negotiation
  • The way you get a job determines your position when negotiating salary. The company actively contacts you>referral>general recruitment
  • It is very difficult to achieve the point where the company takes the initiative to contact you. The only way is to keep marketing yourself
  • Be sure to be clear about the salary range of the position in the market: only in this way, you will not be considered as "excessive price" and you can strive for the highest income
  • Get as many as possible at once offer: because only in this way can you have the courage to negotiate salary

  • I don't agree with the author's book on real estate speculation (real estate speculation in China is outdated)
  • Reading professional books, I really like "Rich Dad Poor Dad"

fitness and spirit

• pretend to be successful
• Lie less, exercise more

Plain and simple, without much reason.

Knowledge determines action, and action determines results.

Regarding exercise, I am deliberately developing a habit, occasionally cycling and running. Friends in my circle of friends should know that I will deliberately send exercise records to the circle of friends to check in in disguise.

The articles I write this year will definitely be the most in previous years. This is because the end of the annual summary written at the end of 2022 is unremarkable , and the flag established at the end of 2022 : at least 15 articles, I will complete it.

My inspiration for writing articles comes from work and my own free time. I will record my temporary thoughts first, so that I will have endless things to write.

I want to train a wave of expression skills, and I am going to write a PPT for internal sharing.

OK, that's it!
