Of course, more people rely on writing articles for themselves. Brought a lot of income. In short, in this era of paying for knowledge, as long as you share something valuable to others, you can bring changes to your own life.
But most people feel that they can't give anything of value at all and can only watch others count money. I want to urgently change my current situation, but I don’t know where to start. In fact, the cheapest and fastest way to gain knowledge is to read! If you can intensively read 30 books in a certain major, it will be enough for you to "sell"!
Do you suddenly feel like your future is bright? However, reading is not just for "reading", nor is it just a matter of reading it in a hurry. Reading pays attention to methods, and good methods can help you get twice the result with half the effort; the purpose of reading is to enrich your knowledge, improve your abilities, and use this knowledge to help others, thereby achieving financial freedom.
From the book "You Can't Read Books, You Still Want to Success", I summarized 3 stages and 6 methods of reading. If you learn these methods and do it without compromise, Go ahead and execute and believe that you will be the next successful person!
First of all, you must be clear about what goals you want to achieve through reading. All reading methods and means exist to achieve the ultimate goal. After setting the goal, we can start our "Reading to Change Destiny" plan.
Primary stage:
1. Read 33 books in 100 days to develop reading habits
Many people do not have the habit of reading, so the first step is Develop our reading habits. Whether it is novels, best-sellers, short stories, cookbooks, or other books, you can read them all. You may feel that you can’t read a few books in a year. Reading 33 books in 100 days is simply impossible. Don’t deny yourself in a hurry. Let’s do some math first. 33 books in 100 days, which means 1 book in 3 days. How to finish reading a book in three days? Of course, you must use all available time to read. Get up 1 hour early in the morning, squeeze in 30 minutes each time during commuting, and 1 hour before going to bed. In short, you must ensure that you have enough time every day. 3 hours of reading time. Don't say you can't do it. If you don't watch TV or play with your mobile phone less, you will have time. Think about it, the time it takes to play a game of Honor of Kings is enough for you to read more than ten pages of a book. Are you still embarrassed to say that you don't have time?
Of course, the book also introduces 8 secrets of success in reading 33 books in 100 days:
2. Effective measures to overcome reading burnout
What to do It is normal for everyone to feel tired, and reading is no exception. It doesn’t matter how long or how deep the burnout period is; what matters is how determined you are to overcome it. Maybe at this stage you will feel that you have read more than a dozen books, but your life has not changed much, and then you begin to wonder whether reading can make a difference in your life. I even think that if reading can only increase the fun of life, then it is completely meaningless. Browsing the web and watching videos can still be fun!
In fact, reading is the same as filling a tank. No matter what happens, you must maintain the habit of filling the tank every day. When the tank is full, it will be interesting. Think about it, there are only a few drops of water in one water tank, and the other water tank is full. Which water tank are you willing to go to get water? By the same token, which one is more likely to do a good job, a person with only a few books in his head or a person with a library?
With this in mind, let’s take a look at some methods that can effectively overcome the burnout period.
Fundamentally speaking, it is to think about the purpose of starting to study and find your original intention. That is the motivation for your continuous efforts.
When you slowly develop the habit of reading every day, a new question will appear in front of you. There are so many books in the world, what kind of books should we read? With this question we enter the second stage.
Advanced stage
1. Use 1 year to read 100 books related to your business
The reading habit has been developed, the next step It’s time to study for self-growth. Books contain wealth that you can't imagine. Some people say that 100 books contain 3,000 years of skill. The author has put a lot of effort into each book. Isn’t reading 100 books equivalent to 3,000 years of cultivation?
In order to achieve your goal, set a task of reading 100 books in a year!
Although these five tasks are much more difficult than the previous stage, and the books read are also more difficult, these are also the motivation for us to move forward. Just like mountain climbing, the higher the mountain, the stronger the desire to climb, the more intense the joy after reaching the top, and the greater the harvest it brings us!
2. Teach others the knowledge you have mastered through reading
When you have read 2/3 of the 100 books, you can try to pass the knowledge you have mastered through lectures way to teach others. In this process, you can not only exercise your ability to speak in public, but also make your knowledge more systematic and your logic clearer. Some knowledge points that you didn't understand before will suddenly become clear through repeated scrutiny.
Often at this time, the books you have read and the knowledge you have mastered begin to reward you. You will find that your career and life are changing, and this kind of change is exactly what you dreamed of before. You will love reading even more, because the changes and feelings it brings to you are so exciting!
Master stage
1. Read more books that have nothing to do with majors
If seeds don’t grow, there will be no flowers; only if people are not satisfied can there be growth.
Don’t limit yourself to your own professional field. There may seem to be some unrelated books that can bring you different growth. If you want to live your life, you cannot achieve it by just reading professional books. If you want to live a wonderful life, not just to be the first in your field, then you need to read more books that have nothing to do with your major. The more you read, the more exciting your life will be. Answers that cannot be found in professional books will be found in other books.
Think again about what you want to achieve through reading. You will find that professional books cannot solve all your problems and cannot perfectly help you achieve your goals. At this time, it’s time to broaden your horizons!
2. Interviewing 10 CEOs in 100 Days
We are all ordinary people. If we want to interview CEOs, we will definitely experience a lot of setbacks and put in a lot of effort. Doing whatever it takes to do it is completely different from going to a bookstore to buy a book. Through this process, life can really enter a new stage. Being able to chat face-to-face with successful people who you don’t usually come into contact with is an exciting thing in itself, and you can also learn from the interviews what they have experienced on the road to success, which methods and habits are worth learning from, etc. , this is simply a shortcut to success!
So what do you need to prepare for interviewing celebrities? First, you must get to know this celebrity through various channels, and then successfully make an appointment with him. Next, prepare some necessary things, such as voice recorders, notebooks, celebrity information, etc. The most important thing is your interview outline. Make an outline of what you want to interview in advance. This will not only save both parties time, but also help you get the information you want quickly and comprehensively.

The questions are explained in a concise manner, easy to understand and highly readable. It is worth reading for those who want to change their lives through reading.
In fact, there is no shortage of reading methods. What is lacking is execution and persistence.
There are many people who know the method, but very few people actually practice it and stick to it. If you want to change your current situation but don’t know where to start, why not try this method? Anyway, I haven’t achieved anything by playing with my mobile phone, so I just spend the time playing with my mobile phone reading to see if it can really change my destiny and reach the peak of life like the protagonist in the book?
