Today, with the development of high technology, electronic products bring convenience to people, but also cause more and more hidden dangers. Many people use electronic products, play games and watch dramas without restraint. "Busy" has become an excuse for people to stop reading. It is also difficult for us to concentrate on learning a skill as before. Electronic products give us the illusion that we can know what is happening in the world without leaving home. Many people began to become "social phobia", and the traditional way of reading was gradually forgotten by everyone. With the passage of time, the hidden dangers brought by electronic products become more and more serious. Computers take up our working time, and mobile phones take up our rest time. Everyone is used to electronic products, and it is difficult to concentrate on other things at first. Originally, it was a good thing to use mobile phones to look up information and get information at any time. However, with the increase of "netizens", the social atmosphere is easily affected. Everyone becomes impetuous because of the Internet and uses the Internet to spread rumors. The knowledge brought by the Internet is no longer positive, and it is full of personal comments. Some people even claim that "reading is useless", forget the knowledge and benefits brought by books, try to influence others, and even some people use the Internet to make personal attacks on others.
This is a democratic society. Everyone has his own three views and has different views on things and people. The same is true of reading. People who study and those who don't study are like the dividing line of cultural industry. People who don't study never think that reading can bring them benefits, although I wonder where they can find information when they want to acquire some knowledge. Most of us have experienced many years of compulsory education. I can understand that some people don't like reading, but some people just like living outside the institutional education in China. As soon as a book is discussed, it will begin to convey the theory of "reading is useless", and some even criticize an author's work with their own shallow understanding, and will also make such a sigh. On the contrary, those who insist on reading can always benefit you a lot when you discuss certain topics. In the face of this obvious polarization, people will always feel deeply. The benefits of reading can only be realized by those who are used to reading. We should insist on being unaffected in the big environment, and insisting on reading can bring us benefits. Only when we carefully understand, seemingly subtle habits have far-reaching effects beyond our imagination.
The author of McKinsey's Elite Efficient Reading Method, Japanese writer Akiyuki Akayu, worked at McKinsey for 14 years and founded McKinsey Korea Branch. As a consultant, he will encounter knowledge in various fields in his work. In the case of extremely busy work, he also insisted on making rational use of time and making reading plans. This is contrary to many people now. Some people often give up reading plans because of work. In his book McKinsey Elite Efficient Reading Method, he said that when he needs to know a new field, he will spend more time reading than usual. What is the reason? Combined with my years of work experience, I summed up my own beneficial methods through practice and shared them with you. In the book "McKinsey Elite Efficient Reading Method", he tells us why people who are good at reading and insist on reading can often achieve greater success in their work.
First, the difference between network knowledge and book knowledge
Today, with the rapid development of society, the channels for us to acquire knowledge have become diverse, and the most common one is to collect and read books through the Internet. Regarding these two channels of acquiring knowledge, Chi Yuyou told us in the McKinsey Elite Efficient Reading Law that acquiring knowledge through different channels can bring people different feelings.
We often applaud the convenience brought by the Internet, and many reports are basically produced one after another. But through the summary of these years, we will find that network knowledge will also be limited by the network.
Network:
1. The information on the network is not systematic.
2. In-depth knowledge related to the nature of things is not available on the Internet.
"Online information is suitable for learning new things, because most of the content is written in a short time and has little knowledge. Even if you read a lot, it is difficult to deepen your knowledge in the end. "
Books:
1. "Nothing can replace the depth and breadth unique to books. It can even be said that the whole world is condensed in one book. "
When we want to acquire more and more comprehensive knowledge, we should have a correct understanding of network knowledge and book knowledge. The convenience of network knowledge is not available in books, but the system of books is also not available in the network. When we know some latest reports, the network is the main force, and an article of several thousand words is enough to let us know the ins and outs of things. But these relatively scattered knowledge is likely to be a little thin, and it is not a good choice to know something in depth. First of all, the number of words on the Internet is limited. Most of a report does not exceed 10 thousand words, so the content it can report is often very limited. After all, there is a lot to write. Too much content will make it seem that there is no distinction between primary and secondary, and the overall space will be scattered, which is not very beneficial for us to accumulate materials. But reading can help us finish. A book has hundreds of thousands of words, and the content of a chapter usually only describes one knowledge point. Analysis from various aspects can help us to understand this matter more deeply. Secondly, it may take only one day for a professional editor to accumulate a report material and complete the article, while the time from the initial conception to the completion of a book, even for a professional writer, takes months or even years. It is also the essence of the writer's thought. If a report can only tell us what it is, why and what to do. However, books can tell us what this is, why we should do it and how to do it from different aspects such as life and work. As you can imagine, reporting can make us "Oh, so that's it", so after reading a book, we can produce "Oh, this matter can be analyzed from this aspect, so I should pay attention to it next time I read other books". There are great differences between these two ways of acquiring knowledge.
Second, the importance of reading
Everyone has a desire and wants to live a better life, so we are bound to make achievements in our work and need to constantly learn more knowledge to improve our work skills. When this becomes our goal, we should first collect more relevant knowledge. As we all know, more theoretical knowledge can help us understand the general trend of this industry. At this time, we need to use the power of the Internet and books. Some people may say that since the knowledge on the Internet is too thin, it is enough for us to read more books. In McKinsey Elite Efficient Reading Law, Xiong Ji Chiyu told us that "while reading, we should always pay attention to the information on the Internet, constantly dig deep into our own ideas and hold unique opinions, which is most helpful to ourselves". Books have systematic knowledge and collected many years' work experience of various authors. After in-depth excavation, writers can bring us new inspiration and expand associations. The latest related knowledge on the Internet can help us understand the trends of products and industries. We can read many books to understand the author's thoughts and his views on this product or industry at that time. Compared with the information concentrated in books. On the Internet, more people gather scattered and different opinions at every stage. Because the same things have certain similarities, often these reports combined with book knowledge can help us better analyze the development prospects of this product or this industry.
Third, why do you insist on reading?
Nobody wants to experience the result of failure. Then, when entering a certain industry, we need to know more about the knowledge related to a certain aspect. Chi Yuyouji told us his method in McKinsey Elite Efficient Reading Method. When he needs to enter a brand-new field, he will first concentrate on reading 10 books in related industries and get to know things first, so that you won't be ignorant when you are in contact. This method is actually suitable for many people in modern times. We often have a whim and want to learn something new, but we don't know how to start, and we are even afraid that we can't persist, which leads to things being put on hold again and again. At this time, we should first buy some related books to collect relevant information, understand this skill and determine whether we are really interested in this skill, so as to better understand our interests at a lower cost and make choices on the road of life.
We all came to this world in a daze, if we were learning how to survive in the first twenty years. Then in the next few decades, we are all getting to know the world better. Facing all strange things, we are afraid of ignorance. We learned from our parents that we eat when we are hungry and sleep when we are sleepy. It is adults who have taught us the instinct to survive. Later, we started reading, and reading taught us to establish a correct outlook on life. Eating and sleeping has become our habit, and learning to read has become the foundation of our understanding of the world. In the McKinsey Elite Efficient Reading Law, Qian Yuji said that "opinions and ideas cannot be established from scratch, and books can bring us opportunities for thinking". Persisting in reading can broaden our horizons, see the breadth of things and the depth of people, connect something with some knowledge, or inspire us with other ideas because of something, which we can get through reading. For our own life, keep reading and learn more knowledge from books.
