It was originally in the process of program development , Find a solution to a problem , Found a blog post , It's very good . After reading , Still a little reluctant , Browse around on that page , I found that the next one is to recommend a book . I'm not in a hurry anyway , Just copy the title of the book , Baidu for a while , It's actually a highly praised book . Then I made an electronic version to see , The more you see, the more you like , Now I not only buy the paper version , I also got some related books to read ( Download eBooks , Buy paper books , Borrow books from the Library ).
This book is 《 Dark time 》, I haven't finished reading it yet , however , Even if it's just a preface , All feel that they have benefited a lot .

One 、《 Dark time 》

Here are a few ideas that have a great impact on me （ The items listed below , Generally speaking, the content comes from the book , But some parts are recorded in the words I understand , Some parts are a summary of a paragraph ）:

1, The length of a person's life , It should be measured by thinking time .

2, Dark time

It's walking 、 By car 、 Buying vegetables 、 Eating and sleeping are not suitable for study or work , If we can use this time to think , Over time, it will have a huge effect .

Something important , Before the action , You should rehearse more in your brain ：
The further we go in the brain , In reality, the more stable we are ; The more times you fail in your brain , In reality, the fewer times you fail .

8, Writing is for better thinking .

If you don't know something , Probably you don't know, you don't know it .
″ I strongly feel that it is right ( Or wrong ) Of , But I don't know .” This time , It is often to retrieve the thinking process in the brain , Deep reflection , Dive to the bottom of the problem , Touch the essence of the problem , Discover underlying premise assumptions , Or wrong conceptual logic .

9, solve the problem

People who bypass difficulties , And people who solve problems when they encounter them , The former started fast , Later, I walked more and more slowly , The latter is the opposite .
Increase the probability of success , That's why we spend time .

10, Related to recommend

This book is valuable , I recommended many good books . Example in , Let me know 《 Make time your friend 》,《 Don't be a normal fool 》 etc. .

Two 、《 Make time your friend 》

from 《 Make time your friend 》 I learned a lot from this book :

1, Accept reality , From now on

Accept reality : Quick success is impossible , There is no gain without giving , Perfection doesn't exist , The unknown always exists , The status quo cannot be changed immediately .
Then we can start down-to-earth .
Everyone's starting point is different , But the starting point is the starting point , You can only start from the starting point . Use what you can , Accumulate , Then exchange for what you want .

2, Think before you leap :

Think about three things before doing something , Content (what), reason (why), Method (how).
Before doing one thing , By focusing on ” Method ″ To repeatedly divide tasks , Until it is confirmed that each sub task can be completed .
Everyone is their own project manager ！

3, Plan execution related keywords ：

Estimate time , Act in time , Face the difficulties , Focus on the steps , Parallel serial , Time perception , Record expenses , Budget making , plan , list , technological process , Preview , check before acceptance .
The plan should be realistic . An effective reference method ： Someone did it , And the gap between me and him is not big .
The most fundamental reason for failure is to give up .

4, Everything can be accumulated

Everything can be prepared in advance , Everything needs to be prepared in advance . Only those who have prepared enough in advance , In order to perform well in actual tasks .

5, Study

Study any subject , You'd better read the development history of this subject first , This is the best starting point .
All learning has something in common , Follow certain steps , Can learn .1、 Believe that you can learn ,2、 Deliberate practice . Leave the comfort zone , Practice questions slightly higher than your level .

6, Event time log

seeing the name of a thing one thinks of its function , A good way to cherish time .

7, Out of the symbiotic state of thought

Can't think carefully , There are two main reasons :1、 Habitually refuse to think ,2、 Don't know how to think . The former is often caused by the long-term accumulation of the latter . resolvent , Always pay attention to your 、 Or every idea instilled , Use causality to distinguish .
Analyze any causal relationship , For example “ because A, therefore B”, Basically, it only needs to start from 3 Look at it at three levels ： ?A Is not necessarily B The reason of . ?A Is not necessarily B The only reason . ?A Is not necessarily B The most important reason .

8, The principle of discussion

Both sides want to have a meaningful discussion , The most basic requirement is that both parties must abide by “ Basic principles of rational discussion ”. such as ： No judgment can be made without conclusive evidence ; With conclusive evidence , The conclusion must be accepted even if it is unacceptable ; If you are wrong, admit it and correct it ; By the way , Wrong or not , No personal attack on the other party , Things are not people ; Listen to whoever makes sense ; If both sides have a certain reason , It depends on whose reason is more tenable , Whose conclusion is more practical ; If both sides' proposals are bad , Then we have to “ The two evils are equal to each other ”.

9, About interest ：

I don't like doing something , Is it just because I didn't do it well ？
People always say they are really interested in other things . But in fact , This feeling should only occur because they haven't started doing that , I haven't suffered setbacks in that matter yet .
Much has been done , Naturally, you can be good at ; I'm good at it , Naturally do better than others ; Do better than others , Interest grows , Then I prefer to do 、 Better at ……

10, In the past , Now? , future

What we face today depends largely on our past . But , The inherent attribute of time determines that everything penetrated by it will solidify into history , You cannot change .
The past cannot be changed , It's useless to worry now , But future embarrassment may be avoidable —— If there is no mistake in the current action .
“ strong ” And “ weak ” Is the essence that really exists in nature ,“ good ” And “ evil ” It is often just the wishful definition of the weak .

3、 ... and 、《 Use your time to do the right thing 》

The above two books , Both recommended topic related reading . The following is a related topic ,
《 Use your time to do the right thing 》, I don't think the score on Douban is high , But it's very helpful to me .
The book is from a top-down perspective , I combed it as a whole ：

1, Clarify your outlook on life

From the book 70 Among the three key words , I thought over and over , Finally, I chose 5 Word ： family , health , dignity , rich , happy .
family ： Care about everyone in the family , Contact your parents more .
health ： Be in fine Fig , Full of energy , How much exercise every day .
dignity ： Respect yourself, respect others , Do your own thing , It's best to provide useful advice when discussing problems , Dare to fight when being treated unfairly .

happy ： Keep your mind at peace , In case of pressure, investigate the reason , Try to solve it fundamentally , Help people to be happy , Be beneficial to the people around you .

If you don't know your future vision , You'll never get there ; If you don't have your own opinion , Others will decide for you ; If you have no plan for your future , You will become a pawn in others' plans .
Set a future goal that appeals to you , The brain will help you lock in the resources you need , Guide you to achieve your goals .
The greater significance of goals lies in the process of life growth , It doesn't necessarily depend on the results achieved .
If there is no motivation to grow , Life will stagnate , Human aging does not begin with the body , It's the spirit .

3, Manage your own state

If not in good condition , I know what to do 、 Doing it in any way will become meaningless .
Three ways to change the state , Change the storage method of memory data , Imagine success ( pretend ) Law , Appropriate questions

Continuous improvement , Every day 0.5%, A year later , progress 300%!

5, Deal with the pressure ：

What happens around is not important , What matters is how you view it .

6, A few good sentences ：

Knowledge is not power , Only to use is power .
More time , We are driven by habits , Not knowledge .
