What have you learned in books that is memorable and worth thinking about?

Some valuable thoughts brought to me by "The 1-Minute Super Reading Method":

1. Reading is the self-investment with the highest return rate.

I strongly agree with this, because no matter what kind of book it is, even a very easy book, the author and the editor of the publishing house have spent a certain amount of time and energy to put it together. It went through many revisions from the first draft to the final version, and the illustrations and cover also required careful design by professionals. For a small amount of money, we can buy someone else’s hard work that took months or even a long time. Especially those classic books, buying books is equivalent to buying time from successful people.

2. Increase the amount of information input and extract valuable information.

Two important factors for successful people: input and output. Just like when we write, if we want to write a good article, in addition to thinking and writing, we also need to input a lot, otherwise writing continuously for a period of time will drain you dry. Only with a large amount of input can valuable information be extracted. If you want to convey a message yourself, you must reserve 10 messages and then delete 90% of them to achieve high-precision conveyance.

3. The formula for success = 2,000 hours of study and 10,000 hours of action.

The critical time for learning is 2,000 hours, but it does not mean that you can become an expert as long as you study for 2,000 hours. You also need to have 10,000 hours of experience accumulated in different jobs and exercises. is the key. This also answers the question of many professionals: Why have I not made any progress after working for decades? Because they are always in their comfort zone, doing repetitive and inefficient work. Although they have worked for longer, those who do different jobs every day have higher experience points than those who do different jobs every day.

4. People have three main purposes for consumption: “have”, “do” and “be”. Reading is for "be", not "do".

“Have” means spending money for things other than yourself, such as buying a car or a house. The result is less money and no change in life.

“Do” means spending money for experiences, such as watching movies, going to zoos and science and technology museums. It seems that we don’t own any physical objects, but our lives are enriched by various experiences.

"Be" means to exist, to have. Spend to become what you want to be. Reading falls into this category. Although there may seem to be no reward in the short term, in the long run, it can enable us to enter the circle of successful people and live the life we ??want. I think what this book brought me was not a change in the way I read, but a change in my outlook on reading. The turning point in life usually comes from a place where you have no interest and have no relationship at all. Through reading, you can meet a writer who changes your destiny and let him become your life mentor. This is the original intention of the author!
