How can you improve yourself without culture? Hello, theme! I am gentle Yiyi, and I will answer your questions. Ow! Seriously, this is how I grew into what I like. The university won a four-year scholarship and promised me to stick to it, read on and practice. I really envy you for reading this article, hoping to help you ~ I have developed more than a dozen good habits through this method so far and spent a full college life. Four years in college, I sold lamps, second-hand books, wholesale insoles for military training, taught mathematics, worked as a physics tutor, and worked as a driving school intermediary. I have participated in various competitions in the past four years, such as speaking, writing, hosting, painting and calligraphy, machinery, electronics, models and so on. I will sign up as long as I have time, and I will participate as long as I have time; I have been a student for four years in the past four years. I am the head of the school, the monitor of the school, the manager of the racing team, and then the director of the radio station and the party branch. Until the month after graduation, I was still busy with the party branch. For four years, I studied hard. As long as I have leisure time, I go to the library and read biographies, classic novels, essays, poems and so on. In the past four years, I have also watched many movies. My favorite thing is to eat snacks while watching movies in the rainy sky. Or go to the photoelectric cinema in the school library, sit quietly in the last row and enjoy a gluttonous meal in the corner. In the past four years, I have been running, keeping fit and keeping a diary, walking in the corner of Fuzhou and deeply feeling the pulse of the city where I have lived for four years. In four years, a short human course, I completed the transformation from a bookish student to a social person. 1. Learning energy management: Medical research has found that the energy level of adults decreases year by year after the age of 30, but the requirements for career, family and individuals are increasing. When you improve yourself, you must first manage your energy. Our goal is not to extend 16 hours. More importantly, our status is in the middle of 16 hours. It takes a lot of energy to improve ourselves, and the management of energy needs our continuous energy, so the management of energy is particularly important. The mode of energy management is pyramidal: physical strength, emotion, attention and sense of meaning. Good energy = abundant physical fitness+positive emotions below+attention that can be gathered at any time+clear sense of meaning. We can improve ourselves from four aspects of the pyramid. To this end, I will share with you a few things to improve our energy. 1. 1 Thirty minutes after getting up in the morning, I will do seven things: 1. After opening my eyes, I will do some simple activities in bed, rubbing my face with my hands, combing my hair and simply stretching; When I do this, I will use my brain to recall what kind of dream I had last night, because when I dreamed, our subconscious was working; 2. After getting up, I will make my bed for one minute, implying that I have done a successful thing in the morning and will come to work and study neatly every day; 3, will drink a large glass of warm water, about 600 ml, equivalent to a whole bottle of mineral water; 4. I will brush my teeth with the hand I don't use often, and at the same time use two legs and one foot instead of brushing my teeth; 5. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to do the emotional warm-up exercise. Be grateful for what you are happy about and constantly remind yourself of your present and future goals. 6. On the mobile phone, write down the three most important goals today and imagine the happiness after the completion of these three goals in your mind; 7. Prepare some nutritious and low-calorie food. Do not eat steamed bread and steamed buns, the calories are particularly low. These seven things will take about half an hour. On the way to the postgraduate entrance examination classroom, I will recall in my mind and remind myself of the three most important things today. And carefully plan the process of these three things. Usually I go to the office and start doing these three things immediately after I arrive. I don't open email and WeChat to make many passive replies. First of all, 45 minutes after the start, there will be 5 to 10 minutes to rest and do some exercise. When having lunch, the order of eating is generally to eat a lot of vegetables first, then meat protein, and finally, if you are not full, eat some carbohydrates, rice and noodles. Go for a walk downstairs after lunch, usually talking on the phone while walking. After work in the afternoon, open my wonderful list and review what I can cross off and need to arrange after I finish. Before leaving work, I will check what I didn't do well this morning, and consider coming back in the evening or doing it the next day. 1.2 Seven things before going to bed: 1, take a few minutes to meditate. Calm yourself down; 2. Soak your feet with hot water; 3. Prepare the water to drink the next day; 4. Review whether the three goals of the day have been completed; 5. Take some time to look at my schedule and see if I have spent important time on important things; 6. Make a simple preparation for the next day's calendar to see if there is anything that needs attention; 7. Put the book you read on the bed. After going to bed, read for a few minutes, and then go to bed. 8. Get ready for tomorrow's clothes; 9. Keep a diary and reflect on your achievements; Second, learn time management. Everyone has 24 hours a day, but everyone's time utilization rate is different. Managing time well creates a lot of time in a sense. I use Diary of a Fool to make myself develop various habits, and record my time through a time recording tool: app:atimelogger, so as to make the best use of it. 2. 1 fool's diary: actually, it's very simple. You can use EXCEL to create the following table. If you want to develop any habit, make a form like this and tick it every day after you finish it. Don't doubt. It's that simple. You can set fewer goals at first, such as two or three, and then accumulate and increase later. If you are afraid that you still can't finish it, you can ask your classmates to help you supervise it, and even let the most important person you think sign it, just like a military order. I made one before, you can refer to it. 2.2 time recording tool: app:atimelogger this is a tool that I started to record time in April this year, specifically recording my time expenditure, what aspects and what time I wasted, so as to remind myself not to waste time. By combining these two tools, you can know yourself well. Third, learn to break away. Many times, it is a burden. For this reason, we should do subtraction in life, streamline our life, make our attention more focused on the present, and don't waste it on unintentional things. 3. 1 Learn to throw things 1, haven't used it for a year (remind yourself to judge whether it is used or not) 2. Don't need them (it seems that they don't need them) 3. Uncomfortable (looks uncomfortable) 4. Not suitable (not suitable for your present conditions and conditions) 5. I'm not interested (obviously unable to satisfy myself) in sorting things out. You can take him out and focus on the choice; 3.2 Subtraction of Emotional Items About some emotional things, many times we are always limited by emotions, and it takes too much space to keep some things. 1, separate classification 2, organize memories with a sense of ceremony 1) to ensure sufficient time. So as not to be interrupted; 2) guarantee the space of being alone. So as not to be disturbed; 3) Say goodbye solemnly. Pick up an item and quietly recall the time and scene of that year. 4) Some things take up space, so you can take a photo before throwing it away. What you want to keep can be sealed in a box and packaged. Understand a memory from a positive and grateful perspective, and ask yourself what positive impact this incident has left on me, and what is worth thanking for this scene at that time. Understand all the memories from the perspective of positive gratitude. Fourth, learn metacognitive thinking. In complex times, the upgrading of cognition can determine how far we can go. Among many cognitions, the most important thing is to improve metacognitive ability. The so-called metacognitive ability means cognitive cognition. Generally speaking, when you are thinking, you will clearly realize that you are thinking. For example, when we know something is useful, but we instinctively don't want to do something, you must rack your brains. It's like two people fighting Actually, you want to do it in your heart, but another voice in your head tells you not to do it. You should listen to the real voice carefully. In fact, what many people call laziness and temper, in the final analysis, is the lack of metacognitive ability. In our cognitive system, there are three egos, ID, ego and superego. It can also be understood as a dark horse, a white horse and a rider. The dark horse represents intuition, the white horse represents emotion, and the rider represents reason. You know, the brain is one of our organs, and we are not the brain. Moreover, once you are lazy, you should start your metacognitive ability and tell yourself that you are the master of your soul. You must be a rider, manage the black and white horses well, and let your intuition and emotions go hand in hand, instead of just walking with one of them and making you lose yourself. The difference between people with metacognitive ability and people without metacognitive ability: 4. 1 The role of metacognition in reading. When reading, people with metacognition will think about the author's writing ideas, know why the author writes like this, and find out the author's thinking loopholes; When reading a book, people without metacognition only read the written words and understand the literal meaning, but it is of little use to read the book at last; 4.2 The application of metacognition in doing things People with metacognition will think about the intention and purpose of the boss to explain this matter, and also think about how to do it well and how to do it better in advance. Besides this, what else can be done well? People without metacognition will only do the tasks assigned by the boss well, and never think about what is the purpose of this matter, how to do it better, and what are the related things; As for how to improve metacognitive ability, the method is: 1) reflect on yourself every day, thinking about what you did today, what you did wrong, why you did wrong, what you thought at that time, what you did wrong, and what you would do if you were given another chance; 2) meditation. 3) Record some of your usual choices, find out what your choices are based on, and then make a judgment. Wait until it's over, and then see what's right and what's wrong. Reading is not limited by time and space. You can read in free time and space and talk with many smart people. In my personal experience, reading mainly has the functions of pleasure, self-cultivation and wisdom. 5. 1 Yiqing When I first started reading, I regarded reading as an interest and a ritual of life. I remember when I was in college, the happiest thing was to go to the library alone, a table, a chair, pour a glass of water, hold a book and stay happily in the library for an afternoon on rainy days. Sometimes I just sit on the floor and read, which makes me feel carefree. The final exam is no exception. I clearly told my roommate that I was going to the library to review my lessons, but I still couldn't help reading the book. An afternoon passed quickly. For a while, I didn't dare to go to the library to review, fearing that I would be responsible for reviewing myself by reading books. Maybe everyone used to be a literary teenager. Sometimes I prefer reading in the natural scenery. When peach blossoms bloom in March, I always like to go to school early in the morning and read poems on the way full of peach blossoms. The weather in March is just right, neither too hot nor too cold. I picked up a book and read it in the sun for half an hour, not for exams or to show off in front of people, but I really enjoyed it. Sometimes Byron and Rousseau, sometimes Haizi and Xi Murong. This kind of life is full of good memories so far. Sometimes reading is not to get anything, but the process of reading itself is full of 5.2 accomplishments. Before the age of eighteen, our habits or personalities came from the cultivation of our families. After the age of eighteen, we left home and moved away from home, and the cultivation of family was often replaced by school education. We may need to improve our character through teachers' teaching and classmates' learning. In this process, I have completed some important character building through reading more. Among them, Dr. Wu Jun and Mr. Li Xiaolai should have the deepest influence on me. I have read all their books, and I have practiced what they said more than once, which has brought great changes to my life. In addition, the essays of Bacon and Rousseau, Zhu Guangqian and Zhou also benefited me a lot. I was so absorbed in reading that I felt that I was not reading, but talking to a wise man. Maybe you didn't understand what he said to you at that time, but when you are confused about life, their life feelings will inadvertently appear in your mind, unconsciously affecting your view of the world and life. 5.3 In the early days of Changzhi University, I read many fictional books, novels, essays and poems. When I was about to graduate, I began to read a lot of non-fiction books, only to find that reading rational books was happier than novels. Reading poetry and prose, happiness comes from the taste of artistic conception; Reading novels and plays, happiness comes from tasting the plot; Reading and speaking rational books, happiness comes from thinking and practice. Gradually, I seldom read poetry and novels and turned to non-fiction books. The happiness brought by this aspect far exceeds the enjoyment when I read poems under peach trees. Every time the truth in books becomes a concrete action in my life, happiness is even harder. In this era when everyone can speak, the articles on the Internet are mixed, and many people do not hesitate to incite emotions to fool the public, disguise literature and art to show off affectation and logically talk about chicken soup. Regrettably, such articles are still admired and fascinated by many people. Reading is actually just a simple action, but after this action, it is more important to think deeply. Thinking and acting after reading is the greatest meaning of reading. This is the list of books I studied in the university. I hope it helps you. It goes without saying that learning English is an important language. However, our present situation is that after studying English for more than ten years, we still dare not speak English or can't understand it, which is a kind of sorrow for many of us. Besides, many important materials in today's world are written in English. If you can't translate them freely, it seems that there is an insurmountable gap between you and the real world. After work, I entered an overseas post, from initial hesitation to fluency now, from having a headache with English to flying freely in the English world now. Learning English well makes me feel like a freshman. Many people want to teach themselves English, but the fact is that they hit their faces again and again, fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and finally they are the same. Focus on English training for 9 years | t.cn icon In order to learn, it is cheaper and cheaper to spend money. I personally learn English by signing up for online courses. The following is my personal English learning website, I hope it will help you. Teaching by foreign teachers is the most direct, simple, effective and rude way of learning. Through short-term practice and mastering high-frequency words, you can quickly get started in oral English. Seven, tourism With the upgrading of consumption, tourism that once looked very tall has become a choice for the public. The function of tourism can be summarized as increasing knowledge; See the bigger world and know the smaller self; Look at all beings in the world and look at themselves. 7. 1 Increase knowledge and experience the visualization of consciousness in the brain. Reading and traveling complement each other. We usually have three channels to acquire knowledge: personal perception, others' telling and logical reasoning. Generally speaking, people usually acquire new knowledge only through personal perception and other people's stories, and few people do this for logical reasoning. In a sense, the role of tourism is to feel personally, and reading belongs to others. The knowledge gained from books is abstract, but personal perception can make it concrete and visual. For abstract and vague things, no matter how familiar you are with the concept, if you haven't seen the real thing and visited it on the spot, that kind of understanding can only stay on the surface. So is the meaning of travel. No matter how well others tell you, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, even if you agree with him, there will be a question mark in your subconscious. Therefore, the first meaning of traveling is to increase knowledge and visualize the consciousness in the brain through personal experience. 7.2 Seeing the bigger world and knowing that our younger self has lived in a place for a long time, we are always particularly easy to get stuck in the present, thinking that what we want is heaven and earth, and others are all sentient beings in our eyes, often confined to fixed thinking. Some time ago a friend shared what she saw, heard and felt when she went to Japan. During my trip to Japan, there are many shrines. The yard is small, but quiet and solemn. Every shrine will have a lottery place for tourists to draw lots. My friend is very lucky. As soon as he painted, he painted "Daji". In our ideal, "good luck" means signing a contract. When she was happy, she found that Japanese people like "Xiaoji", they like a constantly improving self, and they prefer to make progress every day. This makes friends reflect that we are always pursuing shortcuts and always thinking about how to get rich in one step and how to get rich overnight. Compared with the Japanese, we have too much greed and too little patience. During the trip, she was also moved by the Japanese sense of ritual about life. Japanese grandmothers who stop to think before painting and Japanese grandfathers who concentrate on reading carefully, even in front of abandoned railway tracks, people always have to look left and right to pass slowly. The seriousness of life is engraved into their bone marrow and internalized in their consciousness and flow. She feels that she always hears too many bad things about Japan on weekdays, but she finds too many good things about Japan when she walks. The second meaning of travel is probably to get out of yourself, jump out of your original thinking and say in the words of friends: the world in your eyes is getting bigger and bigger, and your heart is getting smaller and smaller. 7.3 Looking at all beings in the world and yourself, I always think that misunderstandings and hatred in the world simply don't understand each other. Countries don't understand each other's culture and beliefs; Individuals do not understand each other's personality and preferences. But it's too difficult to understand the matter itself, because you can't fully understand yourself, let alone others. In the process of knowing yourself, traveling is a good way to know yourself. The world is like a mirror, from which we can see ourselves. The bigger the world, the more we can see ourselves comprehensively. When traveling, you must understand the connotation of the city with your heart and record your thoughts. No need for a long speech, just a few words. It can be a circle of friends or a diary of several hundred words. In your spare time, you can browse by yourself. I believe that every time you watch it, you will get different results, and gradually it will become your life experience. There used to be a saying: in your present temperament, there are hidden the roads you have traveled, the books you have read and the people you have loved. You must have heard this sentence. I think many young artists like it very much, but the so-called temperament in this sentence actually needs to be internalized by themselves, rather than just walking around, reading and loving reading. You have to think, you have to record, make them a part of your body, and truly become your life experience.
