Living in chaos every day, without thinking and planning about your whole life and your immediate life.
Have you ever had this situation. Every day, I think about how to make good use of the evening time to cook, recharge, and read books.
As a result, as soon as I got home, I became a casual eater or an order for takeout, and I turned on my mobile phone to see cute cats and dogs, good-looking brothers and sisters, and ** shrimp, shrimp, crabs, and crabs.
Or take an intermittent look at this book, see that learning inspiration**. There is no goal, no direction, just to make yourself feel like you're learning. In fact, doing these things will not change your current situation.
Those who reap success must have clear goals and continue to work in a certain field. Otherwise, even if you work hard, you may end up with a little gain but not perfect.
Why do we need goals?
The goal must be something you desperately need, but don't realize it's a problem and needs to change.
Maybe you have more or less pondered about your life and future, but because you don't have someone else to guide you, you don't know how to do it, and then it's gone. In fact, the problem has the potential to continue to affect you, and it will only disappear if you think about it clearly, put it into action and put it into action, and it is not a problem for you.
When I was in college, there was a course called career planning course, and at that time, what I listened to and didn't listen to in class, and what others persuaded me never entered my mind. The first is that I don't understand, the second is that I don't think I need it, and the third is that I may not understand it according to the student's thinking.
Now that I have realized through reading books, I have realized that I really need goals and plans. In the past, I often studied this and that. Many things learned are relatively superficial, especially some tool books or documents, which are difficult to use in daily life and work, and there is no feedback after learning, and it is difficult to deepen their understanding. It means that the time and effort put in is not rewarded.
What is the goal?
The goal is a guide, and only with the goal can we get out of the confusion.
When you want to do something, you're more likely to do something related to your goal than if you don't have a goal. Instead of doing things that are more attractive to you but not for yourself.
I read a ** post by a student at Tsinghua University. He came from the countryside, and his college classmates were second-generation officials in big cities. When they usually eat and study together, they find that his classmates are nothing special compared to himself, with mediocre personalities and average grades. During his college years, he participated in many clubs, student unions, and choirs, which took him a lot of time and energy, and all of them were superficial. His classmates changed departments to study the major they wanted to study, went to Berkeley as an exchange student, published academic ** in the world's top academic journals, and went to the world's top four physics colleges to study for a doctorate. He woke up in his junior year and went to find an internship to do scientific research, and was finally lucky enough to be admitted to the graduate school of this university. But the difference is not small.
How to set goals
Goals can be simply divided into long-term goals and short-term goals.
Long-term goals: You need to think from all levels such as health, life, and work, and you can set goals in all aspects, and the goals are what you want the most and affect your deepest thoughts or desires. It usually takes years or months to complete. For example, for me, reading is something that needs to be done for life, and I need to establish periodic goals to achieve this goal step by step.
Short-term goals: Break down long-term goals into things that need to be done in the near future, but are important and urgent. When these goals are no longer bothering you, think about your new goals.
Criteria for good goals:
Encourage you to put in more effort.
It is possible to start from now on, with positive feedback every step of the way.
Working through daily efforts helps to get the end result you want.
Read wisely
The impact of reading on people is subtle, and reading and meeting noble people is the fastest way to improve yourself. When you meet a nobleman, you can't force yourself to bring yourself, but it's easy to study.
There is a difference between reading a book and studying for an exam, and when reading a book, don't force yourself to read aspects that don't interest you, and allow you to skip content or books that don't appeal to you. Newcomers are recommended to read books that are more interesting.
Recommend books with high interest: "Xiaoqiang's Promotion", "The Secret of the Babylonian Rich", "There is a Tree in Brooklyn".
Think about it:
What are your long-term goals? What should I do in the near future?
Do you feel like you're not as smart as you, but you've been admitted to a better university, graduate school, Ph.D., or go to a better unit?
