After reading a classic book, I believe that your vision must have opened up a lot, let's write a good after-reading, record your harvest and feelings. You want to know how to write after reading? The following is my collection of "life by me" after reading recommendations, welcome to share.
"Life by Me" After Reading Part 1
I am not afraid of getting old because each decade of my life is better than the last!
Mayer.
Who is Meyer Musk? He is the Silicon Valley Iron Man, Elon. Musk's mom.
Elon. Musk's experience is already amazing, but his mom's life story is even more amazing.
The cover of the book mentions the word hardcore, how hardcore is she?
She made her first stage appearance at 15, got married at 22, and became a broke single mom at 31. She has lived and continued her career in 9 cities in 3 countries, raised 3 amazing children independently, and earned two master's degrees at the same time.
Returned to modeling in her 60s and became popular when her hair turned gray.
At the age of 69, she was the sole occupant of four billboards in Times Square.
At 71, she wrote the book Life by Me.
In the book, she wrote: "It's wonderful to be alive at my age. I've had seven wonderful decades, enjoyed two successful careers, raised three children well, and become a grandmother to eleven grandchildren. Now, as a speaker and model who spreads wellness, I feel more welcome than ever-and I've even been asked to write this book! That's why I feel great at the age of seventy-one. Every day, I wake up in a state of euphoria."
The book mentions that just because you're a woman, don't ever let your age slow you down. Don't let age slow you down or be a stumbling block to your progress. Meyer made her first runway appearance at the age of fifteen, and was told that modeling careers usually end at eighteen, but she surprisingly entered the prime of her career at the age of seventy-one. It all started with her tireless learning, and her constant search for ways to move forward.
When she first arrived in New York, she signed with a large modeling agency, expecting to increase her exposure, but the agency never took the initiative to help her with offers, and didn't even help her with supporting roles. After six long months without a test situation, she agreed that her modeling career was over. Realizing that something had to change, she reached out to the agency to get out of her contract and took the initiative to sign up with multiple agencies in various regions, which then led to a flood of job offers.
During the shoots, she was given a lot of flying and jumping to do, which was undoubtedly difficult for her. She realized that learning had to be on the agenda and started studying magazines.
By the time she was sixty-seven, her picture was everywhere, Times Square, the subway, even in every airport.
You can always find a way to move forward, she said, and you can always make another, better plan.
Meyer was born into an adventurous family.
Her parents traveled around a lot in airplanes. In the days before GPS, they traveled to sixty countries with just a map and compass. On twelve expeditions into the desert, Meyer participated in eight. Their mother would prepare three weeks of food and water, clothing, and their father would prepare gasoline, maps, repair tools, and so on, and they would carefully plan and complete the challenge of the expedition over and over again.
Meyer inherited her parents' adventurous spirit and is also good at making plans for her life. In life, she says, we often fear things that aren't going to happen. What is there to be afraid of? Even if something bad happens, just find a way to find a solution.
So she says, and so she does. After enduring a life of domestic abuse for nine years, she took the plunge and chose divorce. She believes that even if she is alone and difficult to live, or better than in the ex-husband around the days of fear. In order to permanently get rid of her ex-husband's entanglements, she chose not to want anything and to raise her three children alone, which is undoubtedly also a risk. But she is not afraid, she knows how to live and how to face reality.
She firmly believes that the harder you work, the luckier you get.
She got a degree in dietetics, opened a counseling office, and continued modeling. She has lived alone with her children in nine cities in three countries and has pushed back and rebuilt her life many times.
Her optimistic, positive outlook on life also y influenced her children, who grew up to have brilliant careers of their own, with Elon founding Tesla and launching a rocket launch business. Kimball opened a farm-to-table restaurant and started his "Green Giant" program. Tosca runs her own entertainment company. Tosca runs her own entertainment company, and she lives her own life, attending nutrition conferences and flying around the world to walk runways and shoot magazine covers. At seventy-one, she lives her own unique life.
She is truly a self-reliant woman and a hardcore mom. Her qualities are worth learning from each and every one of us.
Life is your own, and every road ahead is chosen by yourself. Whether life is tough or not, smile, accept it, embrace it and enjoy it. The excitement has just begun.
Meyer said, "The reason I'm not afraid of getting old is because each decade of my life is better than the last. "
Life by Me, Part 2Life by Me, by Meyer Musk, who is Elon Musk's mom. At first, when I saw people recommending this book, I thought it might be just a biography of a successful mom whose son became famous and whose mother followed her to fame. That's not the case, and Meyer's bravery, tenacity, and pursuit of professionalism, among other things, are admirable.
Meyer Musk got married at 22, experienced 9 years of domestic violence, and was divorced at 31, becoming a single mom of three. Has lived in multiple cities in 3 countries. At 72, she became the face of a best-selling US makeup brand at 69, was on four billboards in New York's Times Square, and is not just a model, but a nutrition expert with 2 master's degrees.
In this book Meyer shares her story with us in a light-hearted tone and gives us lots of advice and suggestions based on her own experiences. I hope to draw on Meyer's courage and strength to face every choice in life and be a better version of myself. At the same time, I hope to influence my child directly or indirectly through my own changes and set a good example for him.
Reading this book from time to time will give us a constant source of spiritual strength. The following are just a few of the things that struck me, but there is much more to learn from Meyer.
As a mom, the best thing I can do for my kids is to live a good life and try to become a better version of myself. Practicing what you preach is more persuasive than any lecture. Children can feel that everyone in the family is an individual and learn to take care of themselves. At the same time, take responsibility for yourself.
Respect your children and support their hobbies. The sooner you know where your interests lie, the more you can enjoy yourself and find your way in life. In our generation, we were told to study hard and be obedient from a young age, and when we are free to work, we don't know where to go. It is difficult to gain inner pleasure and fulfillment without a love of things, and it is easier to lose oneself.
Cultivate and adhere to good family habits, some of the spirit will be deep into the bone marrow of family members. Meyer has lived in many countries and cities, and each time he changed places, he started a new career and life from scratch. This courage may be attributed to the family motto, "Live adventurously and prudently. Without an adventurous spirit, every possible change in life can cause fear and hesitation. When we retreat in fear of the unknown, we may be losing a great opportunity. Give it your best shot, and if it still doesn't turn out well, big deal, back to square one.
If you want something, you have to take the initiative to get it. There is no absolute "yes", but if you do not try, the answer must be "No". As long as others are not firmly rejected, there is still a chance. Often, we will always exaggerate the imaginary failure, afraid of being rejected or shame, and the opportunity in the time and again in the tangle of time slipped away, so that the life of some more regret. Think about it, would we ridicule and humiliate someone for their failures? No! Any educated person would only offer a kind smile or comfort. So why do we always cling to the reaction of others after the failure it, always fantasize about how embarrassing we think the appearance of embarrassment or disgrace.
Life is too long, practice slowly!
Just got this book, the first attraction is the book cover, a 72-year-old woman, face is still so exquisite, eyes full of calm and confidence, seems to be inherent, the smile exudes a few points of elegance, to say that the story of the life of the endless endless in the head of white hair.
In the book, there is a sentence, "Don't slow down as you age because you are a woman. Right now I'm running wild like a loaded bullet - exploring everything, having fun, and being busier than ever." This is straight from the heart, I remember going to a water park in Jeongsan to learn how to swim not long ago, and I don't know if it was because I wasn't doing it the right way or something else, but my back kept giving out all afternoon. At night back home physically exhausted, to the next day out to the neighborhood door sneeze, you can put the waist to strain. This undoubtedly gives himself a good excuse - old age, no way. But in fact, they know the reason is that these years they have never taken the initiative to do a physical exercise.
As a woman, I never think about my own appearance, my own health, what I want to live into, I only know that I am getting older and fatter every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day. In retrospect, it has always been the time to dominate their own lives, like the walking dead like every day.
72 years old, the best age to dance square dance, will not I have not reached the age of 72 years old, also with the majority of people, every day, walk, sun, buy groceries, dance, after the rest of the life, think about it are not willing.
Coming into the door of 30 years old, I hope that I can have the most beautiful state like the author, not beautiful, but the inner self-awakening, health, learning, family, work are given to the vitality, I hope that in the 30 years old before the arrival of the best of themselves, and wait until the day I can be qualified to tell others that thirty only!
This is a very easy book to read, but after reading it, there are still some unexpected places.
The author of the book is the real mom of the owner of Tesla. When I read the book, I thought it was about teaching us how to raise a child like Tesla's boss, but after reading it, I realized that she has her own life, and although she is proud of her child's achievements, she doesn't take her child's achievements as the main or even the only goal of her life.
This is the first surprise I got from this book. But this surprise confirmed one of the feelings I usually get from reading parenting books, which is that parenting comes before parenting. Want a cool kid? If you're a cool person yourself, then having a cool kid is a natural fit. Their family of three generations is a classic example.
The second surprise is that such a beautiful and talented woman didn't do too well in the face of domestic violence. Similar to what happened to the Tibetan girl, Ram, who was recently featured on the Internet, her ex-husband, who is the biological father of her children, also committed both mental and physical domestic violence against her. This shows that once a person is in such a bad situation, it is extremely difficult for him or her to get rid of it completely on his or her own. If there are such victims around us, we should try to help as much as possible, and not think that it is someone else's family business to ignore.
The third surprise is about the relationship between beauty and makeup and clothing. While it was felt that makeup and picking out a dress code was necessary, it was always felt that it might not be so necessary for beautiful women. Facts have proved that the beauty of the makeup technology and dress taste in the professionals and the effect of their own operation is also a difference. Visible anything is to believe in the power of the profession.
In addition, since the author is also a nutrition expert, the book also puts forward some suggestions for dietary arrangements. Although I do not agree with her arrangement of specific foods, but the overall concept is in favor of, that is, "only in the hungry time to eat, only eat healthy food, never overeat. She also agrees with her statement that "no one wants common sense, everyone wants a panacea" and "don't waste your calorie quota on bad food" when it comes to diet. The author reminds us that when we eat, we must think clearly that we are not eating because we are sad or stressed, but simply because the food is delicious, so that we can be sure that we are enjoying the food and not being kidnapped by our emotions and eating as a means of de-stressing. This is such a great quote. It feels like anything can be a reason to eat outside of solving the problem of food and clothing; socializing, stress relief, boredom, hunting, etc., etc., etc., just apart from solving physical needs. After all, most people in our society nowadays eat too much, not the other way around. Hunger has instead become a scarce feeling.
What's particularly lovely is that the author says that even if we have an unhealthy diet, we don't have to feel penitent, as long as we're enjoying the food in the process, then it's the next best thing and we'll resume a healthy lifestyle from the next meal. Because we don't need to make every meal perfect, the same is true for our lives.
This brings to mind that perfectionism is indeed our enemy. A recent case in point is a child's performance in class being judged by the teacher as creative. In fact, perhaps children are as creative as they are when they are around us, but our eyes are always on the less exciting parts of what they accomplish, and we always overlook the exciting parts or take them for granted. The other thing is that the teacher's comments about the child are like someone's circle of friends - they look enviable, but are probably only partial facts. These shining moments are certainly not the entirety of the lesson, and may even be a momentary flash of insight throughout the lesson. When it's the turn of these old fathers and mothers to watch their babies on their own, they're still most likely going to freak out. That's why it's important to remind yourself that you need to be a little more patient with your kids, a little more appreciative, or most importantly, a little more immersed, rather than staying out of the way and treating your company as a job.
Life by Me, Part 5In Life by Me, Meyer Musk says:
"The sooner you act, the less painful it is. The ones that can't be changed are actually the ones we should get rid of as soon as possible, even if you'll lose everything because of it, or you think you might, or even if your . . financial situation will be hit hard by it."
Before taking action, set yourself a plan. Without fighting an unprepared battle, you can start with a short-term plan. For example: what goals are to be accomplished in a month, which can be broken down to a week or a day.
Goals are usually divided into two types: habit-based goals and achievement-based goals.
A habitual goal is to perform an activity regularly and consistently. Requirements to write what time to start, with what frequency, at a fixed time to perform what tasks, to develop a habit by what deadline.
For example, at 6:00 a.m., spend 20 minutes reading and writing notes for the day, six times a week, plus one review, starting today in 2022, stick to a year, without interruption.
An achievement-based goal is one that accomplishes a desired result by a deadline.
For example, by February 28th, become proficient and master the framework structure of a book review, and aim to get a book review on the page.
Don't be a giant in thought and a dwarf in action.
The first move, one day will find a suitable direction, the road ahead will be wider and wider.
Life by Me, Part 6
Meyer Musk, mother of Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, Inc. Entrepreneur, dietitian, speaker, famous fashion icon with two master's degrees in nutrition, model and internet celebrity who is still active at age 72. Meyer's life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs: domestic violence, unemployment, raising three children alone, displacement, any one of these things would be enough to break a person, but she's pushed back and rebuilt her life many times over, living it better than anyone else!
On Adventure
Meyer grew up in a family whose motto was "live adventurously and prudently". Her parents traveled across Canada, the United States, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia in a small, canvas-covered propeller plane with no GPS (Global Positioning System) or radio. When she was a child, her parents took them on desert trips in search of lost cities. Such homeschooling and experiences taught Meyer to set no limits on the future, just make a plan, prepare for the unknown, and be brave enough to try. In the face of new opportunities, ask yourself: why not?
On success
Meyer has pushed back and rebuilt his life many times. Moving to Toronto at forty-two and New York in her fifties, Meyer has restarted her dietitian counseling career over and over again, restarted her modeling career, and maybe to this day, it all looks glamorous, but none of it would have been possible without her hard work. The harder she works, the luckier she gets.
She has two master's degrees, and even got a second one at forty-three in order to start her own nutritional counseling career in Canada, and restarted her studies at forty-eight in order to pass the US exams. Also for her modeling career, she eats only healthy foods and still struggles to maintain her health and figure every minute, every hour, every day.
On Education
Meyer has a quote that goes something like this: the most useful education for your children is to show them that you're working hard to be called a better version of yourself.
"I never treated them like little babies, or scolded them, or told them what they should be learning. They just need to let me know what they're learning or not learning. I don't check their homework because that's their responsibility. There's no need to be overprotective of our kids, it just creates a disconnect from reality and responsibility."
Anything is possible and age is never an issue. Sometimes what we lack is the courage to change, the determination to make a plan and follow it, the readiness to face the unknown, and the persistence to learn. Let's work hard together to learn and work hard to live up to the springtime and move forward.
Life by Me is an easy-to-read, not too boring and powerful book. The text is divided into 5 main parts and 29 subsections. It covers about beauty, adventure, family, success and health. There are 3 points in the text that touched me the most.
1. Being grateful for the kindness you receive from others will make you happy. Of course, the same way of reporting absolute kindness to others, and just because you enjoy it and wish you could be helpful to others, then you will also meet people like you that way.
This may be called the "Law of Attraction". Once I talked to a friend, I was told that I was a very subjective person, always trusting and thinking too much of people I didn't know very well, so when I talked to me, I only listened to things, didn't look at my face, didn't look at my movements, and just ignored my comments about other people because I had too many good people in my mouth. This is a pretty big disadvantage, but I also have a sure thing is: if a person repeatedly, again and again to take advantage of my goodwill, and is always inconsistent words and deeds, I will slowly begin to alienate, life hate always inconsistent words and deeds of the people.
Live to now, has always believed in the life motto is "different circles, do not have to be strong integration", "do not climb, will not be, not stratification, no matter what the status of this person is, what occupation, what character, as long as the heart recognized, are important people, need to be my full to respect! ".
2, there is no absolute "Yes", but if you do not open, the answer is absolutely "No".
Timidity is everyone will have, a common psychological state, but in this state how you will deal with, not necessarily. Something always have to try, in case of success, as long as the other party did not clearly say "No", do not give up, because there will be a certain probability of "Yes".
3, timely stop loss, out of the comfort zone
Human nature is lazy, most of us are afraid of change, I am no exception. But if you've been living and working in the same place, with an unwilling heart, will you regret it when you're old, and will you regret why you didn't take a step forward at the time?
Before I was 27, I had an unimaginable low self-esteem, fear of change, and chose to compromise and maintain the status quo even if I had an edge. I didn't want to have to ask my parents for money to pay rent after I graduated, I didn't want to be a burden to anyone, so I was afraid that once I made a choice, I wouldn't be able to go back, and I was afraid of not having an income and not knowing how long I would be able to stay in this situation.
But now I have more courage. I would like to thank my family, especially my lover and brother for their tolerance and understanding, they support me not like the status quo, go to try the state I want, because try to fail, I will be willing; do not try, it will be a regret in my heart. Of course, no matter what kind of choice I make, there is a major premise, that is, in the state I want I am also able to support themselves, because I will never allow myself to become a need to completely rely on others to live.
I would also like to thank the leaders and companies that I have experienced for giving me the space and opportunity to grow, to challenge myself to do things differently, to accomplish things, and to be less intimidated by the unknown. My heart is hungry for freshness and difficulty, and I am willing to do the same thing differently the second time and the first time.
