Book Review

After graduating from college, she was admitted to the civil servants in her hometown with double marks. In the eyes of others, a stable job, a car and a house, being close to home, and a few years of marriage and children make life complete. At the beginning, she also enjoyed the stable work within the system and lived a full life with outstanding leading colleagues every day.

She loves reading very much. She reads a lot in her spare time. Reading sobered her up. She began to reflect on her life: what kind of person do I want to be? What is my dream? So she decided to quit her job and went to Chengdu alone with her savings of 30 thousand yuan, and began a dream-chasing journey.

What should I do after resigning? Out of confusion about her personal career, she cut into her own confusion and began to focus on her career. She spent more than a month's living expenses and signed up for a career development course for a classical teacher. The author found his life dream here: to be a career planning consultant.

This incident tells us a truth: confusion hits you, and confusion also makes you.

After three days of training, I found that in the field of career planning, she has no professional background, no work experience and no competitive advantage. When she spent almost 30,000 yuan and was penniless, she trained the teaching assistants she knew and invited her to a gathering of fellow initiates. At the party, I met authoritative experts and excellent consultants in this field, and I can study with them as an assistant.

This proves the law of attraction: when you want to do something, the whole world comes back to help you.

From then on, her life seemed to open:

She is Nari Run, the author of A Year of Rebirth.

From penniless to the co-founder of the well-known brand "girlfriends power". She only did one thing right, that is, she focused on the key words of her life from beginning to end and continued to act.

Everyone has his own decisive moment. At that moment, as if a beam of light had entered the crack of life, she was suddenly opened to the second pulse of Ren Du. Life seems to have an epiphany and found her ultimate mission.

Here I tell two stories about the decisive moment:

There is a 24-year-old English girl who travels from Manchester to London by train. The train is crowded and noisy. Suddenly, the image of a scrawny magician with glasses and black hair appeared in her mind. This is the moment when she was chosen by fate. In the following 17 years, she completed seven series of novels in the image of this little boy. This English girl is the famous JK Rowling.

The second story is about Haruki Murakami. He mentioned in many of his works:

I can specify the moment when I make up my mind to write a novel, which is around 1 April, 978/afternoon/Sunday 1 half past one. On that day, in the outfield audience of Jingu Stadium, I watched a baseball game while drinking beer alone. ..... and I made up my mind to say "Yes, try to write a novel", which was at this moment.

This is an epiphany moment when Haruki Murakami is blessed by fate. He is determined to pick up the pen and never put it down again.

The decisive moment of author Li Na's election is 2065438+2005+65438+February 2005 10. That day, she booked herself a luxury hotel, which was the most comfortable day after she left her job and came out from home.

She sat down and began to make a plan for 20 16. This time, she must find out a question: what kind of life do I want? She began to look through her notes and documents on the computer. From these clues, she saw that she had been paying attention to "discovering talents, stimulating potential and enlightening education". So she refined and summarized three key words of life: freedom, truth and sharing.

She embarked on the heroic journey of "rebirth in one year, unlimited life" and began to practice the "rebirth year plan" Under the guidance of life keywords, she started to run the community from scratch, studied and practiced career planning consultation, and realized the ideal state of freelancing.

Under the epidemic, let us realize that sideline business is just needed. After the long vacation, many people found themselves unemployed because of the closure of their companies. In the severe employment situation, it is not easy to find a job, let alone "naked resignation".

In this situation, it is particularly important to have a personal career and make yourself a brand. The unit and platform where you live may collapse. Only by making money on your own ability is the ability that no one can take away.

Then, how should we establish a personal career from 0 to 1 through the key words of life in one year?

Starting a career from 0 to 1 and realizing the leap-forward growth of life have three stages: profound self-awareness, integration of knowledge and practice, and growth with market value. Among them, self-awareness is very important and the most important step to start a personal career. Start from three aspects:

1. Know your life goals. The so-called life goal is what kind of person you want to be and what kind of life you want to live. We are confused because we haven't found our goal in life yet. You don't know what kind of person you want to be and what kind of life you want to live. Every day, like a dandelion, it floats with the wind and has no sense of direction.

One way to help you find your goal in life is the wish list method. Find a place that can make you quiet, write down the things you want to do one by one, and then find various pictures to make a dream board, which can be set as mobile phone wallpaper or printed and posted in the most conspicuous place, and constantly strengthen your motivation to realize your dreams.

2. Know your own advantages. According to the ability matrix, we have four abilities: one is to like and be good at it, which is your advantage now; The second category is what you don't like but are good at. You are your spare tire. The third category is like but not good at it, which is your interest and your possible advantage in the future; The four categories are dislike and not good at it, which is your blind spot.

We have been trying to do what we like all our lives. The process of self-growth is to package what you like into what you are good at through 10 thousand hours of hard work and deliberate practice, and then make money by this ability. This is your hard skill, and no one can take it away. This is also the core of our personal career.

3. Know the secret card point. Gold is not enough, no one is perfect. Everyone has a short board, and the short board can be repaired by some efforts. But no matter how hard you try, some abilities can't be broken. That's because you haven't really found the internal reason, the hidden card point. All the answers are in ourselves, and we should find the reasons from ourselves.

For example, my blind spot in ability is interpersonal communication. Although I have worked in the system for many years, I have not developed the ability to spit lotus flowers and dance with long sleeves. When I meet a job that requires cooperation and contact with others, I will consciously turn it down. A lot of things can be done with a phone call. I have to send WeChat first, which takes a long time. Growth is the process of breaking cocoon into butterfly. If you are not good at something, then push yourself, take a step forward, break through your secret card and make your work more efficient.

We all know that "all roads lead to Rome", which tells us that the place to go is Rome, not Tokyo, Paris or Turkey. As for how to get to Rome, there are many modes of transportation to choose from, and everyone should make a choice according to their own situation. This example tells us that the destination is particularly important. When we set out for a trip, we must find out the destination of the trip. As for how to get there, there are many choices.

In other words, we should stick to a clear direction, not a clear road.

Many puzzles in life come from the fact that we never know our destination. For example, "Should I resign?" "Should I go to Company A or Company B?" "Should I work first or take the postgraduate entrance examination first?" Once the destination is clear, we will choose the best path from the fastest realization, so that we can live clearly and clearly.

The key word of life is where you belong in this life, the highest version of yourself you can imagine. Like a lighthouse, it guides you to sail on the ocean of life. You don't need to know exactly how to get to each nautical mile. All you have to do is keep moving towards the lighthouse, keep correcting your direction and keep getting closer.

The key word of our life is to return to our original heart and listen to our own heart. Montaigne, a French thinker, said: The greatest thing in the world is that a person knows how to be his own master. There are two ways to help us hear our inner voice and quickly locate the key words of life:

1. Write freely. We need 100 to answer this question repeatedly: If you have enough time and money, what will you do in this life? When you write down your inner thoughts freely out of control, the future you want will come out.

2. Idol analysis method. Idol is the highest version of yourself you see in the real world. We can see the life we want in idols and reflect our vision of life. Now that the Internet is so developed, we can even connect our idols and ask them to help you clear your direction.

For example, my idol, Wendy Wang, is intellectual in appearance, rational in essence, good at planning, has designed the life he wants and lived according to his own wishes. Best-selling author and brand founder have a career they love and a happy family before it is too late. This is the life experience I want.

If the key word of life is a beacon of progress, it will guide you to sail in the direction of your mission. Then you also need a life treasure map, which is like a map and can tell you the most suitable treasure path.

1. Recall the peak event. When we look back on past experiences, we are always attracted by certain things and experiences. In this case, you will feel very excited and proud. This is the peak event.

2. Look for enthusiasm clues. Take me for example. 20 1 1, I was admitted to the civil service exam with the first written test. In 20 15, I was transferred to the city with the first place in the written test. In 20 17, I passed the on-the-job MPA exam with high self-study scores. So my first clue should be studying. In high school, my composition was often regarded as a model essay. I joined a literary club and published articles, so my second clue should be writing. I hope to become a luminous energy station and bring you a steady stream of positive energy. My third cable should be energy.

3. Determine your strengths. There is a theory in management called barrel effect. How high the water level a barrel can hold depends on the length of the shortest board in the barrel. This is applicable in our student days, but after leaving campus and entering the workplace, the rules of the game are different. This is an era of teamwork and group growth. Professional people do professional things. We just need to focus on building our own longboard and make our longboard longer.

Diamonds and graphite are essentially the same, both made of carbon. Why is the difference so big? It turns out that the atomic arrangement structure of diamond and graphite is different. The atomic structure of diamond is tetrahedral three-dimensional structure, while graphite is regular hexagonal plane structure.

So is life. The diamond life chart consists of four parts: enthusiasm, knowledge, advantages and resources.

Enthusiasm refers to a strong interest in something. If a person is not interested in anything, what is the difference with salted fish?

Knowledge refers to mastering more than average knowledge in a certain field, as long as you invest 20 hours in a certain field, you can get started; If you invest 50 hours, you can reach the qualified level; If you put in 100 hours of effective practice, you can surpass the average.

Advantage refers to doing something that seems to be trained, doing something that you like and are good at, and making a career that you can eat.

Resources include tangible resources such as real estate, automobiles and equipment, as well as intangible assets such as experience, education, contacts and cities.

If we decide to start our personal career from 0 to 1, the diamond life map provides an effective way to realize it: first, we must find our passion, then cut in from a certain subdivision, systematically learn the knowledge in this field, reach the upper-middle level, form personal advantages, and have market value by virtue of this advantage, and finally integrate various resource advantages to realize personal rise.

The so-called structural growth is to find a suitable starting point to start growth according to the current state. After the breakthrough in the realization stage enters the next stage, we will continue to look for suitable entry points to drive growth, and so on, and finally achieve upgrading and breakthrough.

If you give each dimension of your diamond chart a score of 10, how many points would you give?

Through the above four steps, you can determine your own life keywords and draw a beautiful life treasure map and a diamond life map. By making a personal plan for the year of rebirth, focusing on the key words of life and continuing to act, each of us can easily realize our personal career from 0 to 1 and start a glittering diamond life.
