Fan Deng's reading club heard Barbara oakley's "Leap Forward", in which a musician named Graham was mentioned. Because he wants to save more children, he thinks that music itself is not as effective as doctors, so he decides to change from a musician to a doctor.
Mentioning middle age is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity for thinking change. When people reach middle age, they can do more passionate things in time and money. The experience and accumulation of existing occupations in rebirth will be the cornerstone of the second skill. The change of thinking can be achieved, regardless of age or goal. For the excavation of the second skill, even the third skill, there will be an attitude of lifelong learning for all.

When listening to this book, I remembered a sentence mentioned by a friend in a chat two days ago. He said that "the platform and environment are very important to a person". This sentence appeared in my communication with him. I said I regretted not knowing who I was, where I wanted to go and what I wanted to accomplish when I first entered the workplace in my twenties, just like now.
His platform and environment are very important to a person, which woke me up. At that moment, I made up my mind to stick to and firmly expand my second skill or even my third skill. I don't want to be confined to a noisy environment that may never be solved, and I don't want to keep myself in a useless position to solve things that can't be efficient. Be honest with yourself for the first time, dare to face your inner desires and express your inner thoughts.
? The second skill or the third skill has many advantages and often brings valuable thinking flexibility and insight. I always think it can increase your ability to work with your first skill. Even if it isn't, your brain can get exercise. When universities begin to teach in the form of massive open online courses, real non-traditional learning methods will be truly popularized. This is a good era, and it is also an era that needs to start again at any time.

Platform and environment are very important, so don't fall into the self-limiting thinking of being a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail from the beginning. Great career changes and the attitude of lifelong learning have established a vital creativity. You should at least try. Trying will be more vivid than persistence.
