How to be a programmer invincible
" in talking to,
in addition to the programming capabilities, but also master the ability to sell the programmer
. Whether self-promotion, or to build influence, they are inseparable from public expression, especially in industry summit talking about the speech. Public speaking is a universal programmer unfamiliar territory, it was once a veteran brother's short board, leader Steve Jobs and the teacher's conference speech Overheating is my favorite.
Someone has done such a survey: Ten things people usually fear most, which is ranked first public speech, is the second death, I very much agree with the findings. Originally I wanted to share their experience beyond the fear of death, but I now have a more shocking, then tell us something about the true story.
New Year stay home reading, and occasionally watch a movie to relax, including documentary "free climbing" but it makes him look nervous. American movie hero is climbing guru Alex Huonuo De (Alex Honnold), he recorded the film in the course of June 3, 2017 without auxiliary unarmed conquer the United States Yosemite National Park El Capitan, the rock height of nearly 3000 feet (i.e., about 914 meters), the summit took 3 hours 56 minutes. When viewing my mind is always in a state of tension, palms soles of the feet cold sweat.
El Capitan with the ground almost at right angles to the plane, most of the big rock is finishing flat, for grasping the rock is very small, difficult beyond imagination, no one before Alex I tried to climb hand. Free climbing is without the aid of any instrument, rock friction with the hands and feet alone, the slightest mistake will fall cliff, wounded or dead. Rock breaking point, wet skid, birds, insects interference, high-altitude falling rocks, sudden change in weather, the climb is full of uncontrollable factors, any accident will allow climbers lost their lives.
Alex, the climbing is the most important thing in life, with a sense irreplaceable. Daily he is not climbing, rock climbing is the way to go, so he has extraordinary power, courage and skill. These moviegoers can not understand, in my opinion just climbing the Campaign, why bring life to risk it? In order to eliminate tension in the viewing process, I remind myself from time to time near misses, Alex ultimately successful summit, but I still can not break into a sense of the brain spontaneously, as if he is on the wall that with death up close in person.
End of the film Alex said: viewers who think it is very dangerous to climb, there are controllable risk him, he will not let himself in danger. Review of video content, it is in recording how well prepared and Alex miracle. Before challenge El Capitan unarmed climbing, he has been climbing for nearly two decades, originally his father took him to the climbing gym exercises, his father's period in college died unexpectedly led him to drop out of school, find themselves in rock climbing, sustained by his father's insurance money life. Due to poor social partners and often can not find the climb alone, from low to high difficulty degree of difficulty route, climbing from hand to protect the instrument.
With his bare hands to climb a few classic line, his reputation in the community of climbers growing, slowly there is a sports brand to sponsor him, since he became a professional rock climber. In order to challenge El Capitan, he prepared before and after a number of years to study different routes to choose the most appropriate, and then break down the entire route into dozens of rope segment, together with a friend and partner with equipment protection practice countless times, high risk areas find the safest climbing program, until each rock point grip on the ultra Kilometer routes are clear in the chest, or even remember how each should stride offal and other details.
Before the real climbing, he also personally remove various obstacles on the route, such as: moss, plants, gravel, sand, etc., to ensure that the starting point for each rock points are not broken or loose, and then choose the most suitable climate condition. Of course, he will not be forced by external factors began to climb, he must wait until the best physical and mental state when the start, he gave up due to poor state once, wait until next year he again ready. Strong incentives, long-term training, scientific program, repeated the exercise, which let Alex completed a miracle I think you can not, and technical skilled are bold and daring courage is proportional with skills.
Escape from death in front of shocked miraculously, people a long time can not calm the beginning I could not understand this behavior, but after thinking calmly and so on, as the most extreme sports, free climbing and Alex bring moviegoers meaning is completely different. Family environment, living conditions grew up and let Alex embarked on this road rock climbing, which he found the self-worth and meaning of life. And moviegoers saw from him the new limits of human ability to survive, in fact, life in many insurmountable difficulties, more often than not have much difficulty, but their own too weak, and everyone is excited to be a small universe of energy.
With respect to the free climbing, public speaking seems to be a lot easier, but the breakthrough two abilities have a lot of similar places can learn from:
- Do public speaking also requires strong motivation, you want it to go through the dissemination of ideas, share ideas, find the value of the sense of self;
- Any skills upgrading are inseparable from the long-term training, by reading and watch the movie or training such as learning speech, and look for opportunities to practice all kinds of, etc.;
- You must follow the scientific program, from acquaintance to public audiences, from small stage to the big stage, from low to high difficulty degree of difficulty, do not follow the Advanced section of the belt can easily be overwhelmed by the pressure, can not complete the difficult challenge;
- Repeated the exercise a high level of protection of speech, exercise can help you tap the problem, so prepare in advance treatment plan and avoid methods.
Original difficult, please feel free to point a " Like ", I will continue to share career planning, job interview, skills upgrading, to build influence and other experience, focus on " IT veteran brother ", enabling the program life !
