What is your MBTI?

I was intrigued by the Korean variety how called MTBI inside which depicts the differences of each personality type. 

Let's talk about the meaning and difference of each letter of the 16-type personality, which will help you make a preliminary judgment of yourself.

The difference between Extrovert (E) and Introvert (I)

Extroverted people prefer to focus their attention and energy mainly on people and things in the external world, while introverted people prefer to focus their attention and energy on various activities in their inner world.

The differences between extroversion and introversion are as follows:

1. Extroverts feel excited, comfortable, and energetic in crowds; introverts feel comfortable when alone and don't like crowds.

2. Extroverts are willing and often want to be the center of attention, while introverts tend to avoid being the center of attention.

3. Extroverts prefer to communicate directly by talking, while introverts prefer to use written methods, such as texting, whatsapping. etc

4. Extroverts like to think and talk at the same time, while introverts tend to think and then talk. The result is: On the surface, extroverts talk more, are more likely to interrupt others to say what they want to say, and respond faster when answering other people's questions. On the contrary, introverts talk less, introvert is better at listening and introvert needs to think carefully when answering other people's questions before he/she speaks. Thus it seems that introvert is slow in the eyes of others. However, introverts will tend to think more deeply.

5. Extroverts are more likely to break the ice in conversations, because they instinctively reject "awkward" situations, while introverts are relatively content with silence, and even know how to "enjoy" silence.

6. Relatively speaking, extroverts prefer a fast-paced life and like all kinds of surprises in life; introverts prefer a slow-paced life and don’t like their rhythm being disrupted by external events.

7. Extroverts are more likely to talk to strangers than introverts, and they are less shy about telling people about themselves (even some “personal privacy” in the eyes of introverts). Introverts are more likely to be reserved and don't like being known a lot about themselves.

8. Extroverts take the initiative most of the time at work and in life, while introverts only take the initiative of things that matter to them.

9. Extroverts have "friends all over the world," while introverts have relatively fewer friends, and usually only have a few close friends.

The difference between Sensing (S) and iNtuitive (N)

S-type people believe more in the information directly obtained through the five senses (five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch); N-type people believe more in the unconsciousness of things beyond the five senses Information obtained by association (the so-called "sixth sense").

The difference between S-type People and N-type People is as follows:

1. S-type people are relatively able to observe and remember details of actual situations; N-type people tend to ignore specific details unless they are directly related to some abstract pattern. Some N-type people who are overly intuitive may even be "blind" to something that is right in front of them. On the other hand, S-type people may be ignorant of grasping the whole; N-type people prefer generalization and abstraction, so they may be better at grasping the whole situation, and ignoring details is the price they pay. There is a saying that S-type people may "see the tree but not the forest", and N-type people may "see the forest but not the tree".

2. The S-type people tend to discover more practical details, and able to distinguish differences in details. For example, an S-type woman may be more likely to distinguish two different lipstick colours than a N-type woman. Likewise, S-type people are relatively more gifted when it comes to distinguishing the brightness of lights, the smell of perfume, or the taste of desserts, etc. In contrast, N-type people usually have a richer imagination, which not only adds some joy as well as distress to their lives that are difficult to share with S-type people. Horror movies, for example, may be "more terrifying" for N-type people than for S-type people, precisely because N-type people imagine far more scenarios than the film presents.

3. S-type people tend to describe facts as precisely as possible, while N-type people always feel that descriptions of facts are “about the same”. Compared with S-type people who value facts because of their sensitivity to facts, N-type people always have a tendency to devalue facts. In their subconscious mind, facts are experienced as an appearance, a cover, and a fog. When the S-type person asks the N-type person not to change the facts (in fact, N-type forget and think the difference is not important), the N-type person will feel that the S-type person is missing the point and nitpicking.

4. S-type people are more inclined to "follow the facts", in their eyes, a fact is basically this fact, and rarely means anything else; in contrast, N-type people prefer to speculate the meaning or meaning behind a fact, and the relationship of this fact to an assumption or theory. Take for example a fallen leaf, a S-type person may play or study the leaf itself, such as size, color, texture, smell, etc.; on the contrary, if a N-type person may realizes: "Autumn is here!", but after a few minutes you ask N-type person to describe the leaf he just saw, he will probably get many details wrong. From the point of view of receiving information, both have their pros and cons: people who see leaves miss autumn, and people who see autumn actually miss the leaves. There is no good or bad between the two, just a difference of preference.

5. S-type people pay more attention to the reality of things, that is, the current facts and the facts that will be realized soon; N-type people are more concerned about the possibility of things: Future). When imagining the possibilities of things, N-type people are more likely to ignore real obstacles and let their imagination run wild. This also means that N-type people may consider the operability and cost later, which is often regarded as "unrealistic" by S-type people.

6. S-type people prefer to deal with practical things that they can see and touch, while N-type people are more interested in things that are invisible and intangible. For example, people with strong hands-on ability and dexterity are mostly S-type people; N-type thinks and talks about topics that have nothing to do with reality (such as the possibility of time travel, hypothetical experiments in physics, and the relationship between characters in fairy tales). , my life ten years later or after winning the lottery...).

7. When S-type people gather information, they will ask: "What is the truth?" If they have obtained facts that are reliable and accurate in their eyes, they will feel satisfied, and then rely on the facts obtained to make judgments; on the contrary, when N-type people gather information, they will ask: "What does this mean?" If N-type people get the facts, they will not feel satisfied, even instinctively" Put the facts aside" and instead search for the "meanings" or "patterns" behind the facts.

8. S-type people are more willing to experience, while N-type people are more confident in their own "inspiration" and intuitive "understanding" of things. S-type people are usually more willing to choose time-tested or common sense and easy-to-implement methods when doing something; N-type people are more likely to be influenced by innovative, revolutionary, or even unprecedented approach.

9. S-type people prefer to do things they have done before. If faced with something they have never done before, S-type people may lose their confidence; on the contrary, N-type people relatively prefer to do things they haven't done and get excited that their vision for the future might come true, but when faced with something they've done many times, N-type people tend to be less interested or even can't lift their spirits.

The difference between Thinking (T) and Feeling (F)

T-type people tend to make what they think are "correct" decisions by making an objective, intellectual analysis of an event; F-type people tend to make decisions that they think are "right" by considering emotional feelings to make what they consider “good” decisions.

The difference between a T-type person and F-type person.

1. T-type people will try to maintain an objective and fair position when making a decision, with as few personal factors as possible, and often put on an "objective" appearance; emotional people are making a decision. When it is time to try to maintain a subjective and sympathetic position, try to consider everyone's feelings as much as possible.

2. A simple and somewhat absolute statement is: T-type people are "objective and do not mix with personal feeling", and F-type people are otherwise." T-type people are more likely to ignore the individual factors involved in a situation, and mainly consider the logic of the matter itself, and they will also flaunt their "equal treatment" attitude to all people when considering problems; on the contrary, emotional people are more inclined to treat each person as a unique individual, so they will pay more attention to each person's different situation, and they are more likely to advertise themselves as "caring about others" and "being good to others". Of course, if an F-type person hates someone, it is easier to show it in words and actions, so T-type people often criticize F-type people for their "emotional" behavior.

3. When there is a dispute between two people, T-type people will give priority to "who is more reasonable?" "Who is right?" On the contrary, F-type people will give priority to thinking "Who's hurting whom?" "Who's being aggressive?" This makes it harder for someone who doesn't make sense but is "excusable" to get the support of a T-type person, and a person who makes sense but is "not excusable" people have a harder time getting support from F-type people.

4. T-type people pay more attention to "reason", they like to reason in everything, and think that right and wrong and fairness are more important; in contrast, F-type people pay more attention to "emotions", they are willing to do everything. Considering emotional relationships first, F-type might think that the harmony of interpersonal relationships is more important. Because of this, T-type types are more likely to point out the other person's mistakes in conversations. F-type people, however, can easily interpret this ideological confrontation as a kind of emotional rejection. Denying a person's point of view is understood as denying the person himself, or being understood as disliking this person.

5. If there is a conflict of interest, T-type people are more inclined to put the conflict on the table and find a fairer solution acceptable to both parties through negotiation; F-type people prefer that the conflict not be made public, so as not to hurt the peace, and everyone to understand each other and takes a step back from each other.

6. Everyone actually needs to experience emotions when making decisions. The difference between T-type and F-type is only the emphasis on these two methods. For T-type people, the process of experiencing emotions is relatively unconscious. They usually take their emotional feelings and values ​​as the prerequisites for granted, so there is no need to express and discuss them. In contrast, they are more willing to put their energy into the logical thinking process; for F-type people, the operation of the thinking process is relatively conscious or even automatic, and they tend to think that as long as they are emotionally reasonable and the rest of the things will fall into place.

7. Obviously, no matter which way of thinking and feeling is emphasized, there may be hidden dangers. Therefore, T-type people are more likely to "do bad things right", such as scientists who conduct human cloning research without regard to the impact on social ethics; F-type people are more likely to "do wrong things with good intentions", such as rushing to the disaster area to be a volunteer will only add chaos to the relief work... Of course, this is not absolute, and well-developed T-type and F-type people can completely avoid the above situation.

8. Extreme T-type people may have a tendency to "analyze everything", which is often unbearable for many F-type people, especially some T-type people actually analyze "emotions”. For F-type people, it's like measuring a flower with a tape measure - not whether it can be measured, but whether it is necessary to measure it. On the other hand, extreme F-type people may have a tendency to "feel everything", which is often disliked by many T-type people.  If F-type feel bad or don't like it, F-type will reject it. In the eyes of T-type people, this is very irrational.

9. Striking a balance between the two are often the most important because both involve criteria for making decisions, and people tend to have more difficulty compromising on that. Thus, a deep-seated prejudice is formed between the two: T-type people may think that F-type people are too emotional, sentimental; F-type people may think that T-type people are too ruthless, unsympathetic.

The difference between Judging (J) and Perceiving (P)

J-type people tend to make decisions as soon as possible, and it is more difficult to endure the state of unresolved and inconclusive things; P-type people tend to delay making decisions as much as possible, hoping to understand or feel more about things. In all respects, enjoy the "anything is possible" openness that precedes conclusions.

The difference between a J-type person and a P-type person:

1. J-type like to keep everything in good order, including keeping things sorted into categories, and may have a habit of organizing things ; P-type are more comfortable with all kinds of natural chaos, will place all kinds of things at will, which is often accused by J-type.

2. J-type like to plan everything, and hope to do things according to the plan as much as possible, and do not like the previously made plans to be randomly disrupted; P-type people are more casual and do not like to make plans for everything, because This makes them feel constrained and unfree, and they are more inclined to react to things as they happen or are about to happen.

3. J-type like to schedule and organize their lives, so most of their time may be represented as a schedule consisting of a series of "tasks" that J-type can draw from when a task is completed. get a sense of satisfaction; P-type prefer that their lives are not dictated by man, they like life full of unknown possibilities, when there are "new things" that are not expected and planned. When it happens, P-type people get a sense of satisfaction from it.

4. J-type usually start sooner if they know they have a task to do - "do it early" because they are afraid of running out of time later; P-type on the other hand, if there is a task to be done, and unless it's something they're really interested in or important to, they'll tend to delay starting as long as possible, even until a deadline is approaching. This is because any pre-arranged schedule (even in their own favor) will make the P-type feel free, so they will extend as much time as possible before their freedom has been taken away. However, this tendency can easily make the P-type unable to complete the task at the end, or despite the completion, the final period is very painful (such as rushing through the night for several days in a row).

5. J-type people are instinctive result-oriented people. Once they start something, they want to finish it as soon as possible, and often unconsciously "speed up"; P-type people are more focused on the process of one thing, less focused on getting results as soon as possible, often not even realizing "the deadline is near". In many cases, this difference between J-type and P-type directly corresponds to the conflict between efficiency and quality - J-type usually prioritizes efficiency, while P-type is more difficult to compromise on quality standards. Obviously, whether it is work or life, you need to find a balance between the two.

6. In the eyes of the J-type, everything is "right or wrong"; while the P-type is more likely to hold a relativistic view of right and wrong, because they are always receiving information, so they will feel that everything has the possibility of change.

7. J-type likes to use the word "should" to think and speak. In their minds, there is a corresponding "should" version of many things: if things are going in line with their "should", J-type will express approval; if the opposite is true, J-type may show displeasure or even anger. In contrast, P-types are more receptive to things as they are, they may have expectations about something, but if things don't turn out as expected, they are happy to have discovered something new and adjust themselves quickly the opinion of. This difference leads to J-type who always likes to evaluate people or things around them, while P-types prefer descriptions and introductions. Not only has that, P-types also dislike other people's opinions of themselves.

8. When J-type announce the beginning of something, it means they are about to start doing it (like having a baby); when J-type announce an end, it means they don’t waste another minute on this thing (like a breakup). On the contrary, when the P-type declares the beginning or the end, exactly when it begins and when it ends still depends on the subsequent development, and may change at any time. Taking the previous example, a P-type person will say "I want a baby", but the exact time of pregnancy needs to "depending on the situation".

9. J-type will think that their past actions have a stipulation on their present and future, or that the present and future are "obliged" to be consistent with the past; on the contrary, in the eyes of P-type , the past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future. The important thing is to be loyal to the self at every moment. As for how much the current self is consistent with the previous self, it is basically beyond the attention of the P-type. This distinction, on the one hand, makes it easier for J-type people to trap themselves, and on the other hand, it also makes it easier for P-type people to break their past commitments (especially verbal commitments on a whim), carry a bad reputation for reneging on promises and not keeping promises.

Stay Tune for the individual MBTIs' Analysis.

A Letter to the 2022 Self

Friday, December 30, 2022

A Letter to the 2022 Self

A tradition to sum up 2022. It has been so fast, another year has passed.

In the past three years of the epidemic, everyone's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Changes in the environment and the onslaught of pressure have caused many people to neglect themselves, leading to various problems in life.

Physical discomfort, emotional instability, uneasy state of mind, sluggish state...

I agree with a sentence: "Even if you are in the dark and the ditch, you must love yourself unconditionally."

The more difficult and difficult times are, the more we need to take care of ourselves first.

Don't let the disturbing epidemic affect your life and mood.

1. Improve immunity and have a good body

What did you understand during the epidemic?

The most praised comment below is: Immunity is a person's greatest competitiveness.

During the epidemic, many people either neglected their health for work or ruined their bodies for entertainment, resulting in a continuous decline in body resistance.

It was only when the body was overdrawn and various diseases came to the door that I realized:

You only live once, and there is nothing worth trading your health for. As the British philosopher John Locke said: "Health is necessary for our career and life. Without health, there can be no happiness."

This epidemic is a lesson for each of us.

While sounding the alarm for us, it also gave us the opportunity to fully introspect and adjust our daily routine.

Under the epidemic situation, we must take good care of our bodies and improve our lifestyles.

Adhere to eating on time every day, going to bed early and getting up early, exercising regularly, and living a regular life.

Continuously enhance immunity and prevent viruses, but also build a strong body for yourself.

A good body is the prerequisite for a good life.

2. Manage negative energy, don't let life lose to emotions

Some people say that the epidemic is an amplifier of emotions.

With the development and changes of the epidemic, everyone is experiencing emotional ups and downs.

We will get angry because of a word from others, and we will be inexplicably annoyed by a trifle.

In the impetuous moment, if you can't control your emotions well, it will make the already disrupted life worse.

If you allow yourself to be surrounded by negative emotions, your life will slide into the bottomless abyss.

Life is not easy, everyone has bad times.

In the face of those sudden accidents, only by keeping calm can you not consume yourself in negative emotions.

If you encounter any problems, communicate with the people around you in time, and you can also go out to relax, calm down and meditate.

Under the epidemic situation, please learn to control your emotions.

Only by managing your negative energy well and being less emotional can you deal with the ups and downs of life rationally.

3. Adjust your mentality, life will be smooth

"Life is not as good as you think, but it is not as bad as you think."

If you treat it negatively, your eyes will be full of devastation; if you face it positively, there will be hidden turning points everywhere.

Think of this sentence:

"Life is like a boat sailing in the sea, and the mentality is the steering wheel in our hands, controlling the course of progress."

Everyone hopes that life will always be good and smooth, but there are always some ups and downs that we have to face.

Only a positive attitude can lead us to level the waves and reach the other shore of hope.

Under the epidemic situation, adjust your mentality, change what can be changed, and accept what cannot be changed.

When you calm down, even if you are in despair, you can find the hope of turning against the wind.

4. Cultivate some hobbies to inject vitality into life

In the past three years of the epidemic, I don't know if you have such a moment:

Being isolated at home for too long, not knowing what to do, feeling like every day is long;

The work pressure is very high, and I blindly watch videos and play games, and my heart is extremely empty;

I feel that life is too bitter, without a trace of color, and life is very boring and monotonous.

In the end, I can't cheer up or be interested in many things, and my happiness disappears without a trace "Ordinary people must always live in fun, and life is valuable."

Under the epidemic, only by maintaining curiosity and love for life can we live life to the fullest.

Facing the uncertainty of the outside world, we must learn to find our own happiness and grasp those tiny happiness.

It can be reading a book, learning a dish, or raising some flowers and plants.

It could also be listening to a song, watching a movie, or learning a new skill.

During the epidemic, no matter how difficult the situation is, we must learn to refine the beauty in trivial daily life.

In the days of irritability and depression, a beneficial hobby is a comfort when you are busy, a fulfillment when you are free, and a support when you are low.

"One must have interest in life to be alive."

Learn to constantly enrich your life, and those who have poetry in their hearts will always be able to live a life full of enthusiasm. Three years of the epidemic is a big test for everyone.

Everyone was in a hurry, and there was no time to care.

However, the more flustered the day is, the more you must learn to treat yourself well, take care of your body, and calm your mood.

One day, the epidemic will slowly disappear, the mountains and rivers will return to their original appearance, and the ice and snow will gradually melt.

And you and I, after surviving this cold winter, will meet a better version of ourselves.

A Letter to the 2021 Self

Friday, December 23, 2022

The really smart people live only 1% of their lives

 

This is something interesting to share with you guys.

Two days ago, when I got off work and took the lift, I met two girls in their twenties.

A girl with short hair was leaning against the corner of the lift, holding her forehead with her hand, looking very uncomfortable.

Another girl with a ponytail standing next to the short-haired girl:

"Did you know? XXX is here to shoot a TV series!"

"I saw from the photos that XXX is really handsome!"

"Have you watched the TV series that went viral recently?"

"The male protagonist in it is really good-looking, and he is on par with XXX!"

 

The short-haired girl was silent, not saying a word.

The ponytail girl finally asked, "Why don't you talk?"

The short-haired girl replied, "Does what you just said have anything to do with me? I only care when my headache will heal."

This seemingly impolite answer hit me.

One of the trademarks of maturity understands that 99% of the things that happen every day are meaningless to us and others.

Indeed.

We often spend our time on 99% of useless things, but ignore that 1%, which is the most worthy of attention.

Because in our life, we have to understand one truth:

There needs to be a clear boundary between people. This boundary is not only the physical distance to be maintained, but also the psychological distance.

It can be summed up in two sentences:

Your own life is your own, nothing to do with others;

Other people's lives belong to others, not yours.

 

I have a colleague, A, who often complains to me that life is so tiring.

"I feel exhausted after a day, and I come home from work and lie down on the sofa, feeling like I haven't accomplished much all day."

Why?

Because she came to the company at nine o'clock in the morning, turned on the computer, she saw some tabloids in her news feed, thinking that that was not bad, clicked on it and took a look, 10 minutes have passed.

Then she was typing non-stop, and heard colleague B discussing colleague C's gossip, oh my, she also heard about this, she had to chat.

Then she went on to rush out the monthly report, her colleague sitting in front of her stuck her head out: "How about this lipstick?", and then she became interested again...

Every move of the outside world can disrupt her rhythm, and at the end of the day, of course, she feels tired and fruitless.

Baumeister, an American psychologist, once put forward a famous theory called "self-depletion".

The so-called self-depletion means that you seem to have done nothing, but every choice and struggle you make is depleting your psychological energy.

With every ounce of mental energy you expend, your execution decreases.

This is why it is widely believed that the simpler people are more efficient, and the more restrained people go further.

Because they can stay away from the things that are 99% irrelevant to them and spend time on more important things.


99% are useless, so what is 1% of life?

This is 1% of life.

Give up 99% of irrelevant information, don’t let others interfere in your life, and don’t let outside disputes and relationships disrupt your rhythm, and spend your time on more worthwhile things.

Only this way will you be truly efficient and your heart will enjoy real peace.

I have a principle called: Never intervene easily in the private life of others. "

A person's true maturity is to understand that other people's lives have nothing to do with their own.

All the behaviours that try to interfere in the lives of others are looking for trouble for each other.

As Jack Ma said:

"When I used to worry about world peace, I had a bad time;

Later, when worrying about others, many are unhappy;

Until I stopped worrying about things that had nothing to do with me, and suddenly found myself getting better and better. "


SO the meaning of 1% of life is:

Do not intervene in other people's lives, do not impose your own ideas on others.

Only this way can you achieve true minimalism and enjoy a truly pure life.

The space of a person's mind is limited, and only by removing the unnecessary, can it be filled with more important parts.

Forget irrelevant people and things, and put your time and energy into the most important 1%.

There is a kind of happiness, that is to go home and eat

Friday, December 16, 2022

To the struggling you

 

There are good and bad days. When you are in pain, please heal the wound and stand up strong again. After crying, please dry your tears and go. Reconcile with yourself, accept the bleakness in your life calmly, and put them all in yesterday. As long as you are not trapped in the past, the sun will always shine. The future is promising, don't give up.

 

If you don't do what most people do, they will criticize you; if you do what most people don't do, they will ridicule you. It doesn't mean you're wrong, it just makes them angry when you don't behave like them. As for why they were angry, maybe they wanted to appear right.

 

Life will reward brave people. Bravery does not mean being reckless, but daring to take the first step towards your goal. When everyone else is doing nothing in your own circle, you are the only one who dares to break through and dare to try. , then you will get what those who hesitate cannot get.

You must know that there are so many talented people in the world, and even they are trying hard to overtake themselves. It's not your talent that makes you stand out, it's your perseverance.

 

Choosing to be comfortable in your twenties is the greatest cruelty to yourself. The more lazy you are in the early stage of your life, the more likely you are to miss the people and things that make your heart move. Remember, comfort is a stumbling block until your abilities match your ideals. What can be solved with sweat, don't use tears. Start today and go the extra mile!

 

Laziness can destroy a person, diligence can inspire a person. Don't wait until it is too late to action. Be a person that even yourself envy.

 

You don't need to tell everyone how you got through those tough days. Most people see how high you are flying, and few people care whether you are tired or not. So, do what you need to do, walk the way you need to go, don't back down, don't waver, no matter how difficult it is, tell yourself to persevere, and don't let you be unworthy of your ambitions and let down everything you've experienced.

What happens when you read often?

Listen: Podcast

Friday, December 9, 2022

What happens when you read often?

1. When a person is thinking, his eyes will become different.

There are many good-looking and beautiful boys and girls in life. When you look at his eyes, his eyes may appear very bright and radiant, but after a long time, it seems that something is missing.

When we communicate with people who read a lot of books, you will find the determined look in their eyes. We will unconsciously think that: This is a person with ideas.

There are also people who don't like to read but love to think and have their own point of view and that is inseparable from their experience.

.

2. Emits the aura of calmness.

Outsiders see them and the intuitive feeling is quiet.

This should be one of the characteristics and that is to be able to concentrate. (It refers to being able to sit down to read, without conflicting with the daily activity.)

It is because they enjoy alone time, and even solitude. They can sit, read and write for hours. During these hours, It is only him and the book.

Reading also builds the emotional stability and compassion for life.

We should read something that resonates with us spiritually, makes us feel life, and allows us to look at ourselves through the life experiences of others.

That is, something that can make us think, impact our thinking, and form values.

That's what it means to read and think.

This is why everyone recommends famous books because what they write are profound propositions related to life and people.

 

3. It is easier to grasp the key points.

It can also be said to be able to see the essence of something. People, who read a lot, think a lot, continues to train their logical thinking through reading.

In this way, whether they are speaking or analyzing problems, they can have an overall view and looks at the big picture.

When others are still stuck on who is to blame, he already sort out his thoughts and think of solutions.

It's also comfortable to chat with them, because their logic is clear and easy to understand. Just like for people who dislike mathematics, when they manage to figure out and understand a big problem, they will be very happy and have a sense of accomplishment.

 

4. Can understand what other people say, and let others understand what he says.

Reading is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to gain knowledge, and then gradually understand the law of the occurrence and development of things, become more aware of human nature, and gain insight into world affairs.

There are people do not read much but are very wise. Note that I said wisdom not quantity of knowledge.

Some people know a lot, but only stay at the surface. Because he only store but do not digest knowledge. Some people do not like to read books, but they have extensive experience and they are equally wise.

The tough part is to digest what you have read and to think and apply practice in your own way.

Reading actually increases your experience.

The one who reads a lot will also put himself into someone else’s shoes. That is to stand on the other side's point of view and answer a question from the point of view so that the other side can understand. For example, when his peers asked him what he was doing, he would say he was doing new media. When he went back to his hometown, his aunt asked him what he was doing, and he would say: write advertisements for others to make money.

 

5. Not condescending and aggressive.

In fact, people who really read and think a lot will not look down on this or that.

Because the more books you read, the more you realize your own insignificance; the more you realize that people's thoughts are ever-changing, and it is impossible for everyone to be the same as you; the more you will understand that everyone has their own difficulties.

 

Reading is like drawing a circle. Inside the circle are the books you have read, and outside the circle are the books you have not read. The more you read, the bigger the circle, and the bigger the unknown part outside the circle. We should thrive to read as much as we can.

Are you lost in life?


When a person has no goal and direction, or experiences some failures, he will become more and more confused and demoralized!

There may be times when we have no goals, don’t know what we want, what we can do, or experience some setbacks, being questioned and distrusted by others, making ourselves confused and at a loss! When life is at its lowest point, don't be impatient, rush for success or give up yourself! The more difficult it is, the more you have to calm down, slow down, find out your own shortcomings and improves yourself! If you really don't know what to do, sit down and read. Reading not only allows you to learn more, but also allows you to calm down and face difficulties calmly and change your irritable mood!

Books are actually the best teachers for each of us, and the guiding light for us to move forward. Each of us has started reading since childhood, but very few people really understand it. Why? Because there are not many people who really study hard, only a few people change their destiny through reading, and most people feel that they are not suitable for reading, they are not interested, and they cannot learn it by themselves. This is just an excuse for most of us that’s all, or they gave up before they found their hobby. Of course, reading does not refer to the knowledge in books. When we step into the working world, each of us has to survive. In order to live, we have learned a lot about what we don’t like, what we don’t want, and what we don’t like. , what we hate has finally become our ability to survive! However, these are all forced to do it. Just imagine how many of us are really willing to pick up books and learn by ourselves, maybe very few. Just like when we go to school, how many people like it from the bottom of their hearts and have a clear goal to read, and more people just read for the sake of reading.

Each of us has different ideas, different goals, different hobbies, different positions, and the results of what we do are naturally different. When you are a factory worker, you just need to finish your work and get the money you deserve every month. When you are a farmer, you only need to plant the seeds on time and plant the crops well every year. When you're a boss think about buying more stuff every day to make more money. When you are a manager, you think about how to improve the work efficiency of employees and complete tasks on time every day. The same job, the same environment, some people are getting better and better, and some people are still doing it for a lifetime.

The most important thing for each of us is to understand ourselves first, do you want to live a life of misery, or do you want to make some achievements? Do you want to live a normal life or live a noble life like others! If you want to live poorly, then you don't need to waste these hours thinking about living a good life, and don't envy other people's lives. Live your life down-to-earth, and don't complain about the injustice. If you want to change yourself, you must put in practical actions, don’t be afraid of hardships and fatigue, the effort and the gain are always proportional! If you are thinking every day, but not taking action, it is better to live a normal life and waste so much time! Even if you have a small goal, as long as you take action, then you are halfway there. If you are just pretending, then you are just deceiving yourself and deceiving your life. 

Some people work steadily, but there is no substantial change, then you have to think carefully about whether your thinking is wrong, or your approach is wrong! Still not trying hard enough! Or force yourself to do something that you are not interested in at all! If you're in the wrong direction, you'll never reach your destination!​​​
