After reading "Watching from a Distance and Playing Closely".

"Distant and Close-up" tells the story of the American Civil War, when five southerners trapped in the Southern army were waiting for an opportunity to escape in a balloon, and on the way, they were blown by a strong wind to a deserted island in the South Pacific. They did not despair, from Lincoln Island to Tabo Island, from the Mercy River to the Far West Forest, from the fireplace to the granite palace, by solidarity and mutual assistance, by wisdom and industriousness, from refugees who had nothing to citizens who lived happily on this land. Glass, tobacco, guns, food, they can all be created with their own hands.

The years on a desert island are by no means easy, but there is always a mysterious figure who comes to their aid in times of crisis. At the end of the story, during a volcanic eruption, Captain Nemo commands the yacht "Duncan" at the last minute to rescue them. After returning to the United States, these people rebuilt Lincoln Island on their own land and resurrected the spirit of Lincoln Island.

At the end of the day, there are two things that I particularly admire.

One is the spirit of these northerners. Among them, there were engineers, sailors, and cooks. Although they have different professions and personalities, they all share a love of life and a sense of adventure.

It is this spirit that gives them the courage to live on a desert island and the confidence to overcome all difficulties; It is this spirit that inspires these people to use their hands to change the land and turn Lincoln Island into a paradise.

Second, it's these people, no, the knowledge of Verne. This book still inherits the characteristics of "Mortal **" - illusory, but not too detached from reality; Wisdom, but not boring. Gunpowder, guns, batteries, and sailboats, Verne described their characteristics and even how they were made in clear and concise language.

Reading "Watching from a Distance and Playing Closely", you can learn about a variety of disciplines such as ocean, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. Don't you admire such a wealth of knowledge?

Before I get down to business, I'd like to digress a bit.

Recently, I was on maternity leave, and it was naturally very hard and busy to take care of the child, so I should make up for sleep as soon as I had time, but I started reading a book (I used to play with my mobile phone whenever I had time). It may be that maternity leave is coming to an end, and you are about to return to work, and a sense of crisis is coming.

I have always had a sense of crisis, that is, the phrase "I know everything, but I don't act". If a person's dream is to make a salted fish, it is also a happy salted fish, but I always want to turn over, but my actions can't keep up with thinking.

In addition to the action can not keep up with the thinking, there is a big problem, I do anything will first measure the gains and losses, if the benefit is very small then I will not do, if it is impossible to achieve, I will not do, but the amount of income and the possibility of achieving expectations is actually my own subjective judgment, which is very ridiculous. There is no rich social circle and social feast practice, and there is no habit of reading, the cognition is too shallow, the circle is too small, and the thought that it is impossible is actually just to set limits for yourself.

I thought about improving my competitiveness to avoid or delay the day when I would be eliminated. But the first thing I had to overcome was a lack of self-confidence. Deep down, I always felt that I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it well, and I couldn't learn, so it was easy to retreat when I encountered a problem.

Therefore, for me, the first step to improve competitiveness is not to bury my head in learning immediately, but to build self-confidence, believing that through scientific methods, the experience of people who have come before and my own practice, it is very possible to achieve the goal.

How do you build self-confidence? I think self-confidence is not achieved overnight, you need to take it step by step, first complete some small things, and achieve some small goals. I set myself this 25-minute reading plan a day, and the author may be able to guide me on some of the workplace issues I am facing right now.

The main topic begins. This book divides careers into three phases and provides specific ways to plan for the three phases of a career.

After reading this book, I have the following feelings:

First, instead of worrying about what might happen, start now, even if it's a little bit of effort, to delay or stop it from happening.

Second, learning is not something that needs to be done only when we are students, we should learn for life.

Third, don't set limits for yourself, dare to think, in order to have a breakthrough.

Fourth, the goal may be big and may seem unattainable, but quantifying it is not that difficult to achieve.

Fifth, learn more from successful people, listen more to the experience of those who have come before, master effective methods, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Sixth, the career is much longer than you think, overcome your fears and keep learning.

Seventh, health and family are important to us, and work is not everything. If you can't get to your goals by devoting almost all of your time to your work, there's a better way to do it.

Eighth, not only the skills required for the job, but also the transferable skills.
