Although I am young, I am in Grade Three, but the more days pass and the more things I experience, the more I find that the knowledge I use most in real life is not taught in school.
Maybe I came from a liberal arts background. If I am a science and engineering major with a similar background, the knowledge taught by the school will be quite useful. However, after working for several years, a liberal arts student like me found that most of the knowledge that I have been using is actually learned by myself or through work experience, and the most useful things I learned at school are nothing more than language and a little professional things.
I summed it up, people should live comfortably. In fact, the following content is very important. They determine whether we have enough coping ability when difficulties arise and whether we know how to solve problems when difficulties arise. But often these problems can't be learned in school, and they are also the content that teachers don't teach. But without this knowledge, more seriously, we can't live. On the contrary, if you are worried about self-improvement, but you can't start, my suggestion is to improve yourself from the following aspects.
(A) Emotional management
I see that some girls around me are prone to depression when something happens. In fact, I have done statistics, and the output rate is very low when people are in a bad mood. In fact, the feeling of "being depressed and unhappy" is a kind of "wasting time". For example, I once quarreled with my husband over a trivial matter. At that time, I deliberately recorded the time of quarreling and getting angry. It's really because of a small incident. The final statistical result is that the time I spent angry reached about 1 hour, and in this 1 hour, my spending methods were to look at my mobile phone and brush WeChat, and my original plan fell through. So being in a bad mood is actually a waste of time. If you count the wasted time because you are in a bad mood like me, you will be surprised. And if you spend this time studying, spending time with your children and family, and doing your own hobbies, isn't that a very happy thing?
All speaking is very important for a person's emotional management ability. It is very important to know how to communicate with people and how to resolve and solve things when you are in trouble.
(B) improve learning ability
I have known the phrase "never too old to learn" since I was a child. I used to think it was just chicken soup, but when I grew up, I found that "learning ability" is the basis of all abilities. Yes, everyone's IQ is different, but isn't the learning method more important? When I grow up, I actually find that I want to learn more and more things, whether it is work or life. Only with proper methods can I get twice the result with half the effort.
Here are some of my own learning methods:
1. Classic books
I want to say that there are too many books published now, especially bestsellers everywhere. But one trick to find "classic books" is to "find the originator". Open a best-selling book, he wrote well, but after reading it, you may find that the core content of this book is actually some insights and summaries of a classic by an expert in a certain field. At that time, you should have read the classic, not the best seller. For example, I recently read the best-selling book of GTD theory, Xiao Qiang's Promotion. In fact, the originator of GTD theory is David Allen, who wrote the famous "Get 1-3". At that time, reading the latter will actually be more efficient and acquire more comprehensive knowledge. Of course, I think bestsellers are also a way of learning. After all, they are easy to read, and you can gain a lot by reading a lot of books. That's why Mr. Wolfalcon can read a bestseller every day. In fact, bestsellers may explain a single point of view, but they should be explained by a book.
2. Zhihu, Shell and other reliable websites.
In fact, like reading a book above, if you want to know the answer to a question, you should also find a more reliable website. You can't just look at the information on one website unless it is a professional website. The reason why I like Zhihu and Guoke is that there are many professionals, reliable answers and a lot of information.
3. People or professionals with successful experience.
There is a trick here, that is, when asking about other people's experiences, listen to the "voice behind the words" and think for yourself why others can do this successfully. What is the most critical experience? That is to learn to fish, not eat fish.
(3) Physiology &; medical knowledge
The importance of this is self-evident. It can be said that the physiology course in the school is not even a minor course, and basically belongs to the scope of self-study, but it is this self-study that determines our future health. After learning about Hashimoto's disease, I found that I didn't even know the location of the thyroid gland, not in the middle of the neck, but near the clavicle. Ask yourself if you know how many bones there are in the human body. What methods are there to prevent osteoporosis? Do you know that the best prevention of osteoporosis is to start at an early age? This is why many people are not sick when they are young, and various problems come one after another when they are old. In fact, "health care" really should not start from retirement, but should start from a young age. This is really not losing at the starting line. More like some minor ailments and colds, you should know how to "carry" them correctly at home.
Sports knowledge
Sports are really ignored by many people in China. When we were young, we were taught by our parents, but we ignored the benefits of exercise to the human body. On the other hand, foreigners should be in good health if they don't study well. Only now did I realize the true meaning of the sentence that health is the capital of revolution. Health is really "1", others are "0" ~ and exercise itself should not be blind, you should know how to exercise effectively, and more importantly, how to avoid sports injuries! You know, the science of sports is more than just going out for a run. How to stretch before and after exercise, which muscle groups do you want to exercise, and how to improve your physical fitness? These are all questions that we should at least have a preliminary understanding before practice. Blind exercise is just the opposite.
(5) Nutrition knowledge
Here we have to talk about how to eat again, because Yue Yue is catching up on his nutrition knowledge recently. You said that nutrition is very important, right? People with good body absorption really don't have that high demand for nutrition, but you don't think it's that important. Try eating some messy things, and you will know the benefits in a few years, especially those who are weak and sick. Those girls who lose weight and don't get menstruation are counterexamples. A typical blind action that doesn't understand nutrition will bring bad consequences. A healthy diet will make you more energetic, and your body will certainly reward you with less garbage and enough nutrition. It is also good to learn nutrition well and help parents adjust hypertension and diabetes. I was once asked by a colleague about the content of milk protein in yogurt, only to find that I lacked relevant knowledge. Therefore, a considerable part of my personal plan for next year is all kinds of study and research, in which nutrition knowledge is a supplement.
(6) Parenting knowledge
Finally, I find it strange that our school not only fails to teach sexual knowledge well, but also fails to teach girls parenting knowledge. Then after graduating from college, parents and society asked us to take our children early. Will you bring them? When you are about to become a mother, you suddenly find that your parenting knowledge, skills and methods of educating children need to be supplemented. Is it more important to learn professional knowledge or parenting knowledge at this time?
I find it strange, too. In fact, isn't this knowledge or common sense the most basic thing for a healthy person? Since the school doesn't teach and the parents don't teach, it's necessary to do it yourself ~ Some people have bright surfaces, happy families and successful careers, but in fact you don't see the hearts of others who are secretly working hard ~
Well, that's all for today. Welcome immortals from all walks of life to share. Thank you for listening.
I think this article is very useful. Don't forget to share it with your friends and give me a compliment! Codeword is not easy, give Yue Yue some encouragement!
